Hygroscopic Core Design

Indoor and outdoor air pass through hygroscopic membranes of Panasonic's core, specifically engineered for efficient heat and moisture transfer. This innovative design not only tempers incoming air but also balances indoor moisture levels across all seasons, expelling excess moisture in humid conditions and retaining it in colder months to enhance comfort. Designed for diverse climate zones, BalancedHome® ERVs’ advanced core ensures a healthier, more comfortable indoor environment year-round.
