Company profile.
enVerid Systems introduces a new energy saving offering for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
systems, based on breakthrough air treatment technology. The HLR (HVAC Load Reduction) module, the
flagship product of enVerid has successfully shown energy savings of 40% in demo installations in the US and
Israel. enVerid operates in US, Singapore and Israel and has partnerships with major companies in the HVAC
industry and the green building arena.
Year of establishment: 2010
No. of employees: 6
Background of the company
It is widely known that outside air ventilation accounts for a major part of an HVAC system's overall energy
consumption. This ventilation is necessary in order to counter the buildup of indoor air contaminants like CO2 and
volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Reducing the amount of outside air, if possible, would result in a substantial
reduction of energy consumption. The idea behind enVerid is simple but powerful: eliminate the unwanted
contaminants instead of replacing the air, and achieve two objectives: significant savings and better air quality.
Examples of projects
A prototype HLR module was installed at Elbit Systems in Haifa in 2012 demonstrating substantial energy
savings and a commercial HLR demo module was installed in San Antonio, Texas in 2013. Data from those
installations have shown energy savings of 40% during the summer
Technologies & products
General description:
enVerid Systems offers a new air treatment and energy saving technology for HVAC in commercial buildings.
The key idea is to reduce the intake of outside air by the HVAC system. Outside air is used in order to maintain
good air quality inside the building but since it is hot and humid significant amount of energy it required in order
to cool it. The reduction in outside air is achieved by a number new material technologies developed in the last
decade at leading US universities and government labs, and is enhanced with novel mechanical designs and
sophisticated software that optimizes the energy performance and creates a holistic solution for air recycling.
There is a considerable reduction in the intake of fresh air and hence a significant amount of energy is saved.
Function of the product(s):
The HLR module enables a very large reduction of outside air without compromising indoor air quality, providing
substantial energy savings. The HLR is designed as an add-on for retrofits to existing HVAC systems, allowing
simple and low cost installation without replacement of pre-existing infrastructure. In development, as the
next-generation offerings, are integrated products for new installations and a solution for smaller, distributed
HVAC systems. Energy savings can vary from 20% to 50% depending on a number of factors like climate and
building occupancy. All products have in common the use of periodically replaceable cartridges with the sorbent
materials, which will be controlled and distributed solely by enVerid systems.
Objectives / Target companies
The company's objective is to establish channels to commercial real estate customers, including HVAC
engineering and contracting companies, real estate developers and management companies, utilities and
regulatory agencies, and large owner-occupied businesses in retail, offices and public buildings.

Technologies & products
The NRG-Pro solutions are based on cutting edge Machine-Learning Big-Data algorithms, guaranteeing real time
accurate and reliable energy forecasting, in a fully automated, plug-and-play manner. The NRG-Pro engine monitors each meter separately, learns its underlying correlations, then uses unique
information-theory based algorithms in order to decompose each meter's behaviour into sub-series, which are
then automatically modelled.
The data and predictions are presented with advanced visual tools, enabling the end user to self-explore, gain
insights and comprehend the data, run simulations and impact analysis, view correlations, create ‘what if'
scenarios and more, without requiring any technical or statistical background. The NRG-Pro solutions also include
a monitoring module, which monitors each meter separately, and uses distinctive anomaly detection algorithms in
order to detect early warnings of irregularities, and identify the irregularities' signature.
The NRG-Pro portfolio consists of products for load research and forecasting, electricity price forecasting,
revenue protection, meter operational monitoring, consumption behavior analysis for pricing and energy efficiency
programs, as well as visual big-data exploration, impact analysis and simulation tools.
