AirGreen’s Projects Making a Tangible Difference in Montréal, Laval, and Longueuil
At AirGreen, we firmly believe that access to quality indoor air shouldn't be a privilege reserved for just a few. That's why we regularly undertake projects in social housing units across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, as well as on the North Shore and South Shore, installing controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) systems, commonly known as air exchangers. Today, we're sharing authentic and concrete stories showing how our HVAC installations have significantly and sustainably transformed residents' lives.
A Breath of Fresh Air for Residents of a Housing Complex in Montréal-Nord
The Project: Installation of Lifebreath 155 MAX HRV Air Exchangers
We recently carried out a major intervention in a social housing complex in Montréal-Nord, where many residents suffered from chronic respiratory problems due to excessive humidity and poor ventilation. After a thorough analysis of the buildings, our technical team chose to install Lifebreath 155 MAX HRV air exchangers, renowned for their energy efficiency and outstanding humidity control performance.
Specific Challenges Encountered:
-
Older buildings with inadequate insulation.
-
Widespread mold due to poor ventilation.
-
Limited space available for duct installation.
Solutions Provided by AirGreen:
-
Installation of compact air exchangers specifically designed for tight spaces.
-
Intelligent reconfiguration of ducts to maximize efficiency.
-
Integration of automated humidity sensors for precise regulation.
Concrete and Immediate Results:
Within just a few weeks after our intervention, residents noticed a significant reduction in respiratory symptoms and gradual disappearance of mold in their homes. One resident, Mrs. Gagnon, recently told us: “Since the air exchanger was installed, my children breathe easier and finally sleep peacefully at night.”
Exemplary Renovation in Laval: Apartments on Avenue des Laurentides
The Project: Venmar AVS X24 ERV Air Exchangers in Renovated Units
In Laval, we participated in a major renovation of social housing located on Avenue des Laurentides. The goal was to permanently solve persistent humidity and air quality problems that had been harming residents’ health for years. Our team selected the Venmar AVS X24 ERV air exchanger, specifically designed to optimize humidity management while reducing energy consumption.
Specific Challenges Encountered:
-
Extremely high humidity levels in apartments.
-
Aging infrastructure requiring significant adaptations.
-
Urgent need for a quick and effective intervention.
Solutions Provided by AirGreen:
-
Rapid installation of high-performance ERV air exchangers.
-
Addition of intelligent automated systems to adjust ventilation according to humidity levels.
-
Resident training on optimal usage of their new HVAC system.
Concrete and Immediate Results:
Within days following installation, the positive impact was clearly noticeable among residents. Humidity levels dropped dramatically, resulting in more comfortable and healthier apartments. A long-time resident, Mr. Tremblay, remarked: “For the first time in years, there’s no longer that damp smell when I come home. It really changes your life.”
Major Transformation in Longueuil: Résidence Saint-Charles
The Project: Installation of Venmar AVS N Series ERV Systems in Social Housing in Longueuil
At Résidence Saint-Charles in Longueuil, residents regularly suffered from allergies and respiratory issues attributable to poor air quality. Our AirGreen team performed an in-depth analysis and selected the Venmar AVS N Series ERV air exchanger model for its exceptional capabilities in simultaneously managing ventilation, humidity, and energy efficiency.
Specific Challenges Encountered:
-
Extremely tight living spaces making standard installation difficult.
-
Severe indoor pollution from accumulated household pollutants.
-
Existing ducts obsolete or inadequate.
Solutions Provided by AirGreen:
-
Custom adaptations of each Venmar unit to optimize available space.
-
Comprehensive cleaning and upgrading of existing ducts.
-
Implementation of regular technical follow-ups to ensure long-term effectiveness.
Concrete and Immediate Results:
Residents quickly felt a significant improvement in their daily lives. Several occupants reported a dramatic improvement in respiratory conditions and an overall increased sense of well-being in their apartments. Mrs. Leduc, a resident of over ten years, clearly expressed: “Thanks to these new air exchangers, we finally breathe fresh air in our home.”
