Panasonic Showcases Intelli-Balance® Elite ERV Series at AHR Expo 2026
Panasonic Eco Systems North America is set to unveil its groundbreaking indoor air quality solutions during the AHR Expo 2026. Among these innovations, the first public showing of the new
Intelli-Balance® Elite and Elite+ ERV series will take center stage, promising not only to enhance air quality but also to provide builders and HVAC contractors with top-tier performance.
A Step Forward in Indoor Air Quality
The new Intelli-Balance® ERVs are meticulously designed to help professionals create high-performance homes by ensuring cleaner and more balanced ventilation. Panasonic’s latest offerings align with evolving industry standards for compliance, ensuring they not only meet but also exceed expectations for indoor environments.
Industry-Leading Innovation
A standout feature of the
Intelli-Balance® Elite+ Series is its impressive ability to exchange heat efficiently, even in extremely low temperatures, down to -22 degrees Fahrenheit. This innovation prioritizes energy efficiency, enabling a
90% sensible recovery efficiency (SRE) rating while minimizing cubic feet per minute (CFM) loss at static pressure. Importantly, these models meet the latest updates to the
ASHRAE Standard 62.2, underscoring Panasonic's commitment to healthier indoor environments and sustainable energy savings.
Presentation highlights at the expo will include a session by
Ken Nelson, the Group Sales Manager for Ventilation at Panasonic. His talk, titled
“Code-Ready ERVs for Superior Indoor Air Quality in Every Climate,” will showcase how Panasonic’s solutions can effectively enhance indoor air quality across various environments and will take place on
February 3 from
12:15 to 12:35 PM PT in the New Product Theaters on Level 1 of the South Building.
Enhanced Products for Professionals
In addition to the Intelli-Balance® series, Panasonic will introduce the
WhisperFit® DC with Bluetooth® Speakers. This innovative product combines premium sound quality with advanced ventilation technology, allowing for seamless connectivity with up to two devices. The design ensures minimal vibration for optimal audio performance, making it an attractive option for trade professionals. Its installation is straightforward, whether for new constructions or renovations, improving indoor air quality in high-humidity areas.
Panasonic will also present its comprehensive line-up of existing ERVs and ventilation fans, which include:
- - WhisperGreen® Select: A high-performance series designed for energy efficiency and smart home integration. This product includes customizable lighting and Wi-Fi connectivity, ensuring reliable operation while effectively managing humidity.
