After winning the AHR Product of the Year Award in January for its HVAC Load Reduction (HLR) technology, enVerid is moving forward with plans for a “commercial scale-up.” The Boston-based company recently hired a new CEO in Christian Weeks (formerly of the demand response company, EnerNOC, Inc.) to help with expansion while the company’s founder Udi Meirav will stay on as president and oversee enVerid’s vision to disrupt the indoor air quality industry.

“We’ve spent a long time trying to not only develop the technology but to also show the world how to use it and what the benefits are. It’s been a long road,” says Meirav. “But we’ve reached a point now where we feel we are at the inflection point, where the market is really excited about the product, and more and more people want to use it. And we need to gear up for what we anticipate is going to be a very steep wholesale.”
