Optimized ventilation solutions for exceptional energy efficiency and indoor comfort
In a time when indoor air quality and energy costs have become strategic concerns for many businesses, next-generation air exchangers stand out as essential allies. At AirGreen, we’re proud to support companies in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore by offering state-of-the-art commercial ventilation systems. Thanks to our field expertise and tailored interventions, we directly help optimize energy performance and improve comfort in commercial spaces.
Why is ventilation so critical in commercial environments?
A well-ventilated commercial space isn’t just about meeting building code standards. It’s a true driver of productivity, employee well-being, and customer satisfaction. Continuously refreshed, dehumidified air free from fine particles helps reduce sick days, boosts workplace performance, and ensures a pleasant environment for customers.
Next-generation air exchangers: Real savings for businesses
The latest air exchanger models—especially heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs)—deliver significantly higher efficiency than older systems. These devices recover up to 85% of the heat from exhausted air, allowing for pre-heating or pre-cooling of incoming air, which drastically lowers the energy demands of heating and air conditioning systems.
Key advantages:
-
20% to 40% reduction in energy bills starting in the first year
-
Improved indoor air quality, ideal for offices, retail stores, daycares, and healthcare facilities
-
Compliance with environmental standards and eligibility for government grants
-
Extended lifespan of HVAC equipment thanks to better airflow and filtration
Case study: Installation of a Venmar AVS® N-Series air exchanger in a commercial space in Longueuil
We recently completed a full HVAC installation in a retail business located in Longueuil. The business owner was looking to reduce their energy bills while improving the air quality, which had been a recurring concern among employees.
We recommended the Venmar AVS® N-Series 260 CFM HRV model, equipped with a high-efficiency ECM motor. The installation included:
-
Balanced air distribution across both main and secondary zones of the space
-
Integration with existing HVAC ductwork
-
A digital wall control panel for automated scheduling based on business hours
Results after 3 months:
-
A 27% drop in electricity bills
-
Positive employee feedback regarding air quality
-
Better control over humidity and ambient temperature
Integrating air exchangers with existing HVAC systems
One of the biggest benefits of working with AirGreen is our ability to seamlessly integrate air exchangers into existing HVAC systems, minimizing costs and downtime. Our certified technicians tailor each system based on:
-
The building’s specific needs
-
Required airflow based on square footage
-
Architectural or regulatory constraints

Each project is treated as unique, with in-depth analysis of airflow patterns, sun exposure, occupancy rates, and building layout.
Practical tips for building managers and commercial property owners
1. Get your current systems evaluated
Even relatively new setups can have ventilation inefficiencies. A full assessment by our team will help identify weak spots.
2. Prioritize exchangers with ECM motors
They use up to 70% less energy than traditional motors and offer real-time power modulation.
3. Regularly maintain your filters
A clogged filter can reduce an exchanger’s performance by up to 30%. At AirGreen, we offer preventive HVAC maintenance contracts for commercial systems.
