Valent’s rooftop unit (RTU) can be paired with an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) to meet codes, reduce loads, or score rebates for energy efficiency. A dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) can also recover energy with an enthalpy wheel or core while ventilating with 100% outdoor air. 

Valent dedicated outdoor air systems have been known for their quality since the brand’s inception. For Valent, quality starts with an intentional, engineered design and continues through the manufacturing process including a 400-point inspection and end-of-line run test of every unit.

Valent’s new rooftop unit (RTU) features modulating components that deliver simultaneous humidity and temperature control for precise energy use and optimized occupant comfort. Its versatility and value take rooftop units to the next level.

Valent is proud to introduce the ERW I-Series, an indoor energy recovery ventilator with enthalpy wheel. Its modular construction, small size, and flexibility with discharge and access side make it an ideal fit for limited spaces.

Valent’s VX-12, the smallest DOAS unit, delivers unmatched features and quality at an affordable price. Valent is excited to now offer the VXE-12, equipped with energy recovery technology to enhance system efficiency and significantly reduce operating costs.

Beginning in August 2024, all new DOAS units ordered from Valent will feature the refrigerant R-454B, which has four times less global warming potential than the previous refrigerant, R-410A.

Pairing an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) with an air handling unit (AHU) allows the AHU to last longer and use less energy while helping to meet energy code requirements for fresh outdoor air in indoor spaces.

Valent DOAS equipment is designed to last, but once installed, regular maintenance helps keep the unit running efficiently. Valent’s robust design extends to the easy-to-access components with multiple access doors.

Improve IAQ and keep building cooling and heating costs down with Valent energy recovery ventilators (ERV). ERV units increase outdoor air volume and are easy to operate and maintain.
