What EXRG - Nilan does

EXRG Srl is an Italian engineering firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Mareno di Piave, Treviso, that operates as the exclusive certified Nilan partner in Italy. The company specializes in HVAC, mechanical ventilation, and indoor air-quality solutions engineered for high-performance buildings, including near-zero-energy buildings (nZEB), PassivHaus-certified structures, and CasaClima-certified residential, educational, and commercial projects. EXRG has documented more than 100 such projects and serves a project-based B2B customer base of architects, building engineers, contractors, and end-clients.

The firm's core product offering combines Nilan-branded ventilation units (Compact P, VPL, VGU, GTX, CTS 602, GP 500) and heat-pump water heaters with proprietary technology layers built on top. EXRG Connect® is a remote-monitoring and supervision subscription platform, while EXRG Comfort Pure Air® integrates JONIX cold-plasma air-purification technology into the ventilation line. The firm also delivers engineering, design, and commissioning services and holds certifications from CasaClima, PassivHaus, Biosafe, ARCA, and nZEB Partners. EXRG's Compact P won the KlimaHouse Prize in 2021.

The business operates primarily on a project-based B2B go-to-market, selling engineered HVAC packages to building professionals across Italy. Revenue is generated through three streams: hardware sales (Nilan units and complementary equipment), engineering and design services, and the recurring EXRG Connect monitoring subscription. EXRG employs approximately 10 people, with share capital at the Italian Srl minimum of €10,000, reflecting the small-scale, specialized nature of the entity.

Direct peers

• RDZ: Italian HVAC company specializing in radiant systems, heat pumps, and integrated climate control for high-performance residential and commercial buildings. Comparable in domestic Italian focus and integration approach (combining heating, cooling, ventilation, and renewables) for nZEB-oriented projects.
• Zehnder Group: Swiss-European leader in indoor climate solutions including MVHR/ERV units, heat pumps, and radiant ceiling systems. Directly comparable as a premium ventilation and IAQ specialist with strong Passive House credentials, competing in similar high-performance residential and commercial projects across Europe.
• Swegon: European provider of indoor climate solutions including energy recovery ventilation, air handling units, and climate-optimization controls. Comparable to EXRG's offering scope (ventilation with heat recovery, IAQ, controls) with broader European scale and presence in commercial/institutional segments.
• Vortice: Italian ventilation and air treatment equipment manufacturer with deep domestic market presence. Directly comparable as a domestic Italian provider of ventilation, heat recovery, and IAQ products, overlapping with EXRG's core product categories though Vortice owns its own manufacturing IP.
• Helty: Italian ventilation and indoor air quality specialist offering controlled mechanical ventilation (VMC) systems with heat recovery and filtration. Closely comparable to EXRG in product scope (residential VMC, ERV/HRV, IAQ focus) and Italian market orientation, serving similar nZEB-aware customers.

Regional players

• Itho Daalderop: Dutch provider of MVHR/ERV units and indoor climate solutions with strong Passive House credentials. Comparable product portfolio (high-efficiency heat-recovery ventilation) though primarily active in Benelux/Northern Europe rather than Italy — relevant for benchmarking but not a direct Italian competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Daikin Italy: Italian subsidiary of global HVAC leader Daikin, offering a full portfolio of air-conditioning, heat pumps, and increasingly MVHR/ventilation solutions. Comparable as the dominant incumbent competing in the same high-performance HVAC projects EXRG targets, but with vastly larger scale and broader product mix.
• Viessmann (Italy): Italian operations of Viessmann, a major German heating/heat-pump manufacturer increasingly bundling ventilation into integrated climate systems. Comparable as a competitor targeting the same nZEB/Passive House and high-efficiency residential market with deeper R&D resources and broader portfolio.
• Mitsubishi Electric (Living Environmental Systems - Italy): Mitsubishi Electric's Italian HVAC business offering air-to-water heat pumps, Lossnay energy recovery ventilation, and air conditioning. Comparable as a broad incumbent supplying heat pumps and ERV/HRV units to the same high-performance residential and commercial projects.
• Aldes: French-headquartered ventilation and indoor air quality specialist with residential and commercial VMC/HRV offerings. Comparable product overlap (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, IAQ) though Aldes serves a broader European footprint and a wider commercial customer base.
