ERT's Impact
U.S. Residential and Commercial Buildings consume 40% of the total energy used in the U.S. (USGBC).
About 50% of that energy - 8.50 quadrillion BTU consumed, $ 129 billion spent and 1.525 Billion Metric Tons of CO2 emitted annually (EIA) - is related to Buildings' HVAC systems.
ERT's High Efficiency Energy Recovery Ventilator reduces Buildings' HVAC-related Energy Consumption, Costs and CO2 Emissions by 50%.
See the charts below for details on ERT's potential impact if every building in the U.S. adopted ERT's products.
