Why We Do What We Do

To Create Healthy Indoor Environments

Indoor air quality suffers when recirculated air lacks proper filtration and humidity control, contributing to illness and uncomfortable environments. To enhance building health and reduce the spread of airborne contaminants, HVAC systems should incorporate fresh outdoor air, manage recirculation with appropriate filtration, and utilize fixed-plate energy and heat recovery technology to regulate heat and humidity while minimizing 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.
