PRODUCT RETIREMENT ALERT: HE1.5XRT

The HE1.5XRT is officially retired. For all new projects and replacements, please transition to the high-performance HE15RT Rooftop ERV.

RenewAire has officially retired the HE1.5XRT rooftop ERV. While this model provided reliable ventilation for diverse commercial spaces for years, we now offer a more efficient alternative. Consequently, we recommend the HE15RT for all future projects. This successor combines our proven rooftop durability with next-generation motor technology.

Why You Should Upgrade to the HE15RT

Transitioning to the HE15RT provides significant advantages for your facility. Specifically, the new model offers:

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Standard EC motorized impellers significantly reduce power consumption compared to the legacy motors found in the HE1.5XRT.

  • Optimized Airflow: The unit delivers a versatile airflow range of 369–1621 CFM, perfectly matching the requirements of the retired model.

  • Smarter Building Integration: Modern integrated programmable control options allow for more precise airflow management and easier monitoring.

  • Reliable Performance: The HE15RT features a robust design optimized for rooftop durability and high-efficiency energy recovery.


HE1.5XRT Legacy Reference Data

Note: This information supports existing installations only.

The HE1.5XRT functioned as a flexible rooftop energy recovery ventilator (ERV), providing energy-efficient ventilation for various commercial environments. It delivered a CFM range of 375–1,650 and was highly valued for its reliability in retail centers, schools, and offices.

Legacy HE1.5XRT Standard Features Included:

  • Static Plate Enthalpy Cores: Cellulosic-based cores ensured high-efficiency heat and moisture transfer without the use of PVCs.

  • Durable Motors: The unit utilized TEFC premium efficiency motors and included standard motor starters.

  • Certified IAQ: AHRI 1060 certification guaranteed an industry-leading, low-to-zero Exhaust Air Transfer Ratio (EATR).

  • Installation Support: Each unit came standard with a 24VAC transformer/relay package and cross-core differential pressure ports.
