The Vents Brig 200 Whole House ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) is a high-capacity, ducted fresh-air ventilation system designed to continuously replace stale indoor air with filtered outdoor air while recovering heat and moisture during the exchange process.

Delivering up to 213 CFM of airflow, the Brig 200 is an excellent option for larger residential properties, custom homes, new construction and whole-home ventilation upgrades. Its energy recovery technology helps maintain comfortable indoor conditions while reducing the heating and cooling energy that can be lost through conventional exhaust-only ventilation.

Based on preliminary Vents-US sizing guidelines, the Brig 200 may accommodate homes up to approximately 4,500 sq. ft., depending on ceiling height, occupancy, ventilation requirements and system design.

Why Choose the Vents Brig 200 Whole House ERV?

Modern homes are increasingly well-insulated and airtight. While this helps improve energy efficiency, it can also limit natural air exchange, allowing stale air, indoor moisture and everyday household odors to accumulate.

The Brig 200 provides a more controlled approach to whole-house fresh-air ventilation.

Using two independently driven centrifugal fans, the system simultaneously supplies fresh outdoor air and extracts stale indoor air. Both air streams pass through a specially engineered polymer enthalpy recovery core, transferring heat and moisture between the two airflows without directly mixing them.

This process helps temper incoming outdoor air, reduce unnecessary energy losses and support more comfortable indoor conditions throughout the year.

Engineered for Performance and Reliability

The Vents Brig 200 combines durable construction with practical features designed for demanding residential ventilation applications.

Key Features & Benefits

How Does the Brig 200 ERV Work?

The Brig 200 uses a balanced mechanical ventilation process to continuously exchange indoor and outdoor air.

As stale air is extracted from the home, fresh outdoor air is drawn into the ventilator through a separate intake. Both air streams pass through the energy recovery core, where heat and moisture are transferred between them before the incoming air is distributed throughout the home.

During colder weather, the ERV helps recover warmth from the outgoing indoor air. During warmer conditions, the exchange process can help reduce the heat and moisture entering with the outdoor air.

Unlike a conventional exhaust-only fan, a whole-house ERV provides dedicated fresh-air supply and exhaust ventilation while helping conserve conditioned energy.

Automatic Cold-Weather Protection

The Vents Brig 200 incorporates an electronic frost protection system designed to protect the energy recovery core during low outdoor temperatures.

When the integrated temperature sensor detects conditions requiring defrosting, the unit temporarily suspends the supply fan while warm extracted indoor air continues through the core.

Once the defrost cycle is complete, the fresh-air supply fan automatically restarts, allowing normal ventilation to resume.
