Green Fit

The Assistant Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment & Ministry of Research and Innovation announced today that Delta M Incorporated has passed the external review of the purECOgreen™ HVAC filtration products by a panel of industry experts.

In a letter issued to Delta M the Ministry stated “Our external experts have completed their analysis, and advised us that your technology and pilot project concept appear to be viable.” The Government of Ontario is committed to leveraging its buying power to make Ontario more competitive, innovative, and sustainable. Through its own purchasing, the government is creating opportunities for new green technology companies as they introduce innovative and sustainable solutions into the local and global marketplace.

The statement continued ”Through GreenFIT, Ministry end-users will provide funding to purchase, demonstrate, and test their innovative green technologies or services. This initiative is an ideal platform for real-world demonstrations of innovative products. Participating in this initiative should increase the company’s potential for expanding into North American and global markets.”

The Ontario government will be among the first to use the innovative green solutions that are part of GreenFIT. Participating in GreenFIT will provide an ideal platform for Delta M to demonstrate the effectiveness of the products to other potential customers in local and international markets.

Many of today’s buildings aim for environmental engineering standards such as LEED and BOMA BESt / 360° as a way to benefit not only the environment, but also the bottom line. Through life cycle and energy cost analysis on the HVAC filter system and the use of air filters produced with recycled content which utilize gaskets on all filters, the Delta M business model allows building owners and property managers to seek credit for a minimum of 5 LEED points in the use of purECOgreen™ filters.

Following the next steps of the GreenFit process, Delta M aims to show a proof of concept and showcase the purECOgreen™ advantages. The pilot will focus on the reduction in the cost of HVAC filter operations through 100% solid waste diversion, deliveries matching maintenance schedules and rebates for returned products. The business case will define an environmentally sustainable HVAC strategy that not only delivers performance but also improves the health of people through improved indoor air quality.
