Energy efficiency has, understandably, become a priority for both builders and homeowners, influencing element-resistant, impermeable construction. As homes become more airtight, proper ventilation becomes a necessity, otherwise the air quality suffers, resulting in stale air. In many areas of the country, code drives ventilation requirements. ERV ventilation solutions offer balance, humidity control and comfort.

Enhancing indoor air quality and minimizing heating costs, both energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) utilize fans to maintain balanced airflow in a space, while exhausting and recovering energy from stale indoor air. However, while an HRV transfers heat, an ERV transfers both heat and moisture

ERV Ventilation

Did you know that nearly 90% of the energy used to cool a home is required to remove humidity?

While similar to HRVs, ERVs also remove humidity from the air before it is brought into the home – greatly reducing cooling costs.

ERV ventilation solutions are balanced, energy recovery ventilation systems, boasting the lowest operating cost of ventilation options.

Ruggedly engineered with a patented aluminum core and unique dual-stream airflow design, Field Controls’ ERVs:

  • Keep outgoing stale air separate from incoming fresh air
  • Remove humidity from the air before it is routed inside
  • Efficiently transfer heat from outgoing stale air to incoming fresh air
  • Completely rejuvenate the air throughout an entire home up to eight times a day
  • Let you enjoy an energy efficient home without breathing harmful indoor fumes from paint, plastics, carpets, adhesives, and household products, or lingering pet odors or moisture that causes mold
  • Feature an SPM™ Attachment System that enables “Single Person Mounting”, and our revolutionary ISF™ 5” Oval Collar System with integrated balancing taps that allows you to manipulate duct within your reach and then insert by sliding it in place, offering fast, easy installation and balancing

Typically recommended where moderating between humidity extremes is a year-round concern, Field Controls’ ERVs are designed for hot, humid, southern climates, channeling heat from inside the home, then conveying it to incoming fresh air from outside, improving comfort while managing humidity levels to prevent excess dryness in the cold season and reduce the demands on air-conditioning systems in warmer seasons.

The Air Movement Innovators

Innovators in air quality control, thousands of HVAC contractors across the U.S. specify Field Controls’ systems for their residential and commercial building owner customers. Focused on the movement of air inside the home with a goal to improve indoor environments, we help you create better air, for better living.

Ensuring energy efficiency and optimal air quality effectiveness, our ERV lineup:

  • Includes six models that range from 40 cfm to 250 cfm, with four models that feature the DuoTrol™ balancing system for light commercial applications
  • Boasts high performance motors that range from 550 to 1,200 cfm.
  • Meets or exceeds ventilation standard ASHRAE 62.2
  • Reduces energy consumption
  • Requires little to no maintenance
  • Is easy to install

Why a clean-looking aerospace part can still fail a residue test

Why a clean-looking aerospace part can still fail a residue test

Element Materials Technology explains NVR and gravimetric cleanliness testing for aerospace, defense and medical parts in a webinar featuring its Hartford and Los Angeles labs. Joe Moore and Katie Legowski show how a blank analysis, a solvent rinse and a weighed filter patch turn invisible residue into a number against IEST-STD-CC1246 levels, and how AMS 2700 F changed the passivation acid default in 2018.

  • 01Nonvolatile residue testing weighs what a solvent rinse removes from a part, so a film the eye cannot see becomes a pass or fail figure against the drawing.
  • 02IEST-STD-CC1246E, the document that replaced MIL-STD-1246 in 2002, sets residue limits from 10 nanograms to 25 milligrams per 0.1 square meter, and its particle levels count down to 5 microns, far below the 100 micron width of a hair.

Bain Capital's reported $250M minority investment values construction platform Kahua above $1B

Bain Capital's Tech Opportunities fund is putting a reported $250 million into Kahua at a valuation above $1 billion. The deal follows what Kahua says is $100 million in annualized revenue. The bet rests on owner-side program data, with AI features the next sign to watch for hospitals, ports and school builders.

  • 01Kahua is selling AI on the strength of the governed data owners already keep in it. That makes data quality and permissions the place to test any new AI feature it ships.

Element’s Charlotte lab makes tensile specimens from turbine blade roots

Element’s Charlotte lab makes tensile specimens from turbine blade roots

Element Materials Technology’s Charlotte lab wire-EDMs one-eighth-inch cylinders from the root of a turbine blade and low-stress grinds them into tensile specimens—work value stream manager Daniel Steele says he’s not aware other labs do at this size. The lab, which invested $3.2 million in 2019 according to Aerospace Manufacturing and Design, is adding creep and stress rupture frames under a lease signed in January.

  • 01The extraction know-how has a paper trail: Aerospace Manufacturing and Design reported in March 2019 that Element’s $3.2 million Charlotte investment included EDM plunge machines—and that Charlotte was the first Element lab to install them for extracting cylindrical specimen blanks.
  • 02Deloitte's November 2025 outlook put manufacturing construction spending down 7% year over year by July 2025, so a lab adding floor space and creep frames is growing inside one of the few pockets Deloitte flagged for expansion.
