Our Story

We are innovators. We are passionate about indoor air quality and energy-efficient technology.
With a history of problem-solving through entrepreneurship, creativity and green technology, Oxygen8 is proud to manufacture 100% electric ventilation systems that help to keep building occupants safe and healthy, while reducing the carbon footprint of buildings.

At Oxygen8, we help create healthy spaces for people to live, work, and play in an energy-efficient way.

In 2019, Founders James Dean and Matthew Doherty developed Oxygen8’s flagship ventilation solution, Nova (originally named Nova Caeli), in response to emerging industry trends and requirements.

What began as a single low-profile solution has grown into a portfolio of over eight ventilation systems, offering options with and without energy recovery, capable of integrating with hydronic and Daikin VRV systems, and supported by intelligent controls. Each evolution reflects the same original intent: to create flexible, thoughtful solutions that respond to how buildings are actually designed, built, and used.

Why We Do What We Do

To Create Healthy Indoor Environments

Indoor air quality can suffer when recirculated air is not properly filtered or humidity is poorly controlled, contributing to discomfort and the spread of airborne contaminants. Healthier buildings balance fresh outdoor air with well managed recirculation, supported by appropriate filtration, humidity control, and energy recovery strategies including both fixed plate and rotary heat recovery technologies. Together, these approaches help regulate heat and moisture while reducing the risk of cross contamination between airstreams.

To Move Toward Building Electrification

To reduce greenhouse gases, many North American cities are moving toward net-zero energy over the next decade, which will drive demand for all-electric HVAC systems and low energy technologies. Oxygen8 is here to meet that demand with our all-electric heating and cooling solutions.

For Better Building Design

As building design becomes more insulated and air-tight, the need for energy efficient cooling becomes ever more important. Cooling with fixed-plate energy recovery and VRV integration helps to reduce energy consumption while meeting ventilation requirements.
