Rensair delivers a validated 40% reduction in common area HVAC energy spend without replacing your existing systems. For senior living owners under RIDEA, that saving compounds through the cap rate into significant portfolio equity value. The senior living owners moving earliest on this have a cost advantage that compounds every quarter.
Rensair Core units install alongside your existing HVAC — no construction, no downtime, no system replacement. The hardware investment pays back through documented energy savings.
If Rensair delivers less than 80% of the projected savings target in the first three years, Rensair will rebate the difference.
The risk of the capital decision is backed by our guarantee. Contact Rensair for full guarantee terms.
Under RIDEA, every dollar of HVAC energy saving flows directly to NOI — and at your cap rate, compounds into equity value. This is unique to your ownership structure.
In a triple-net lease, an energy saving stays with the operator. For a RIDEA owner, it flows directly to your net operating income — and through the cap rate, becomes equity value that is a multiple of the annual saving.
The capital investment in Rensair hardware is recovered through annual energy savings. Once paid back, the $20K/year saving per facility compounds indefinitely through your cap rate — creating permanent equity value from a one-time purchase.
The owner that moves first builds a cost structure its competitors can’t match from lease renewals alone. The question is whether you’re on the right side of that gap.
| Metric | 200 | 500 | 1,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avg. saving / facility / yr | $20K | $20K | $20K |
| Annual portfolio saving | $4M | $10M | $20M |
| Equity value at 5% cap | $80M | $200M | $400M |
Assumes $20K average annual HVAC saving per facility. RIDEA structure only. Payback period depends on hardware investment per facility — calculate below.
~20% is a strong return on its own. But for Senior Living owners under RIDEA, the IRR is only the beginning. Every dollar of HVAC savings improves NOI — and at a 5% cap rate, that NOI becomes $20 of portfolio equity. The hardware pays back through energy savings. Then it keeps creating equity value permanently. That’s not an operating cost reduction. That’s a capital allocation decision.
The largest senior living owners — representing more than 2,500 facilities under management — are actively deploying Rensair. The decision was made on IPMVP-verified savings data from initial pilots. Finance teams ran the payback and cap rate math on their own data. The numbers held. The rollouts followed.
That deployment is ongoing. The energy savings are live. The equity value is accumulating through the cap rate every quarter.
The playbook is validated. The only question is when you run it.
Rensair engineers inspect your HVAC and deliver a formal proposal with hardware scope, payback model, and guarantee.
Under 1 day per facility, no construction. Energy savings verified via IPMVP submetering within 90 days.
IPMVP-verified savings data drove the decision to deploy at full portfolio scale.

Hardware investment estimate of $50K/facility is illustrative — contact Rensair for actual pricing. The $20K average reflects target performance. Use Rensair App data from pilot buildings for your facility-specific figure. Payback period = hardware cost ÷ annual saving per facility. Equity value assumes RIDEA structure and provided cap rate.

An annual Rensair Cloud license covers monitoring, energy reporting, and ESG data exports. Contact Rensair for hardware pricing and annual license costs.
Payback period depends on your hardware investment cost and your buildings’ HVAC spend. The formula: hardware cost ÷ $20K annual saving per facility. Use the calculator above with your actual portfolio data, or request a custom payback model in your portfolio analysis call.
No. In triple-net structures, the operator bears HVAC energy costs — not the REIT. The RIDEA Multiple Effect analysis applies specifically to RIDEA-structured portfolios. Contact us for the operator track analysis, which applies to triple-net assets.
HVAC load reduction begins from the first day of hardware operation. Measurable energy savings are typically visible in the first 30-day energy savings report from Rensair’s Performance & Insights team, compared to the pre-installation baseline for each building.
The 40% common area HVAC energy reduction figure is validated by the Danish Technological Institute and IndoorScience (US independent lab) in independent testing. The 99.97% pathogen removal figure is validated by NHS Liverpool in clinical Bio Validation studies. Both studies are available on request.
The 5-step pilot process — including IPMVP verification within 90 days by Rensair’s Performance & Insights team — produces your own verified energy savings data. If that data doesn’t support the payback and equity model, you have your answer. And our performance guarantee means if we deliver less than 80% of projected savings in the first three years, we rebate the difference.
Rensair hardware investments are averaging approximately 20% IRR across active deployments. This figure is based on energy savings relative to hardware capital outlay, verified via IPMVP. It stands independently of the equity value created through the cap rate multiple.
Yes. For initial buildings, if Rensair delivers less than 80% of the projected savings target in the first three years, Rensair will rebate the difference. Contact us for full guarantee terms.
