Partner Programs

ENERGY STAR® (United States)

HVI promotes better living through ventilation and supports better living through the smart use of energy. As an ENERGY STAR® Certification Body, HVI works with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to streamline the process of qualifying ventilation products. ENERGY STAR® qualification requires that residential ventilation products are tested according to HVI Procedures and relies on HVI-Certified ratings. Once a manufacturer is listed as an ENERGY STAR® Partner, HVI-Certified product data can be submitted directly to HVI for ENERGY STAR® qualification and approval. A listing of all ENERGY STAR® qualified ventilating fans, can be found on the ENERGY STAR® website here.

A listing of the fees charged by HVI for processing ENERGY STAR® submissions can be found on the ENERGY STAR® Fees page.

Following preliminary review, HVI will forward to NRCan for final approval and addition to the NRCan Searchable Products List.
