Green Building (LEED / WELL)
Filters that contribute to LEED, WELL, ILFI, Passivehaus and NGBS credits, engineered for compliance.
Why ECOairflow fits here
ECOairflow filters are eligible for credits under the major green-building rating systems, including USGBC LEED, the International WELL Building Institute, the International Living Future Institute, Passivehaus and the National Green Building Standard. Low pressure drop drives energy credit; UL2998 Zero Ozone and low VOC support indoor-air credits; recyclable materials support the materials category.
- LEED IAQ & energy credit eligibility
- WELL Building Institute air quality eligibility
- Passivehaus energy-driven low pressure drop
- Recyclable plastic and metal components; recyclable glass-fibre pads
What we typically spec for green building (leed / well)
Each of these is built around the same patented EPF core, they differ in cabinet depth, MERV target and pad geometry.
- Any ECOairflow filter, credits depend on the specific category
Typical applications in this building type
Certification programmes ask for filtration performance, low-emission materials and energy performance at the same time. These are the areas where the filter specification touches the submission.
Filtration performance credits
MERV 13 through MERV 16 configurations, specified at order to match the target credit.
Low-emission operation
UL2998 Zero Ozone certified, zero ozone and zero formaldehyde emitted in service.
Energy performance
A filter that holds a low, near-constant pressure drop keeps fan energy down for the whole service interval, not just when it is new.
Materials & waste
A permanent aluminum frame with a single replaceable pad reduces the volume of filter material leaving the building.
What the specification gives the project team.
Fan energy stays flat
Open glass-fibre mesh loads far more slowly than pleated media, so static pressure, and the fan power that follows it, stays low across the whole service interval instead of climbing week over week.
One consumable, not a whole filter
The aluminum frame is permanent. Only the media pad is replaced, which changes what maintenance orders, stores and disposes of.
Certified for occupied space
ETL Listed, UL2998 Zero Ozone, UL867 and CSA, zero ozone and zero formaldehyde in service.
Sized to the cabinet you have
All standard sizes plus custom sizes built to order, so the unit fits the air handler already installed.
