Daikin Applied Acquires Exclusive License to Sorbent Ventilation Technology to Advance Energy-Efficient IAQ

Daikin Applied Americas announced that it has acquired an exclusive license to Sorbent Ventilation Technology from enVerid Systems, a provider of indoor air quality and energy-saving HVAC innovations. The completion of the transaction gives Daikin Applied the sole right to manufacture, sell and distribute SVT and related offerings in North America.

Building on the initial integration of SVT into select Daikin Applied products in 2021, Daikin Applied is strengthening its leadership in energy-efficient HVAC solutions by permanently adding the patented air-cleaning technology into its growing portfolio. With the integration of SVT, Daikin Applied reinforces its long-term commitment to helping customers meet IAQ, energy efficiency and sustainability goals.

SVT enables buildings to maintain healthy indoor air while reducing the cost and carbon emissions of heating, ventilating and air conditioning buildings. The technology can capture a wide range of volatile organic compounds, ozone and carbon dioxide from indoor air using a highly-engineered, proprietary sorbent media blend housed inside a module that easily integrates with all types of commercial HVAC systems. SVT can also be used in combination with other building strategies, such as energy recovery and demand control ventilation, to further reduce load and improve performance. Currently, SVT is the only technology independently tested and validated to meet all contaminant requirements in ASHRAE Standard 62.1.

In the coming months, Daikin Applied will reintroduce the offering within the North American market as part of its expanded portfolio. The service model for SVT will remain unchanged during the transition. Daikin Applied will also continue to support standalone SVT applications in the near term while working towards integrating the technology into its broader product portfolio.

The transaction also aligns with Daikin Applied’s broader sustainability strategy, expanding a portfolio of HVAC solutions that support electrification, decarbonization and smarter ventilation practices. When combined with other air quality technologies, customers have a comprehensive approach to IAQ backed by Daikin Applied’s trusted support.
