We’ve been working with Soler & Palau, RenewAire and Aldes to bring you our latest free collection of Revit families. This collection includes five ERV families, with airflow capacities ranging from 40 to 3300 nominal CFM (cubic feet per minute) and a variety of installation options. The sky’s the limit with what you can achieve!

What is an Energy Recovery Ventilator?

An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) system uses the heat in stale exhaust air to preheat incoming fresh air. It significantly reduces the energy required to bring outside air to an ambient room temperature, saving energy and money.

An ERV will also transfer moisture. In the summer, the warm, humid outside air is pre-cooled and dehumidified by the outgoing air-conditioned interior air. ERVs are ideal for warmer climates, but do a great job in the cold too! In the winter, the cold, dry outside air can be preheated and humidified by the outgoing warm interior air.

Soler & Palau

We have three ERVs from manufacturer Soler & Palau – models TR90, TR130 and TR300. Each family has a single type defined by voltage, but combined they cover a range of supply airflow from 40-300 CFM. Notably, these models are surface-mounted, which means that they can be installed on a wall, bracket or floor with horizontal or vertical orientation.

Aldes

From manufacturer Aldes, we have an ERV that covers their light commercial range, including models E650L, E1100L and E1800L. With high latent transfer cores, the family has nine types defined by voltage, nominal airflow and EC motor options. The Aldes families have a combined airflow range of 575-1925 CFM.

RenewAire

Finally, the collection includes the HE-3XINH energy recovery ventilator from manufacturer RenewAire. There are 17 types driven by type catalog and defined by the voltages, phase and motor output.

Family Makeup

All of the families featured in this collection have three levels of detail. This enables their use in all phases of a project, from design to construction. Most importantly, they include correct duct connectors, system connectors and clearance zone options to improve coordination.

These families are designed with efficiency in mind, featuring 3D geometry for accurate 3D views and separate 2D detailing for precise plan and elevations. This setup ensures a smoother and faster workflow within your project. Plus, all of this comes in a compact file size of under 700KB!

Of course, if you have questions or feedback on this collection, send us an email at support@kinship.io. We review all feedback carefully.
