The Home Ventilating Institute (HVI), a division of the Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA), is a nonprofit association representing 58 companies that sell HVI Certified home ventilating products. Its mission is to serve consumers and members by advancing residential ventilation. HVI offers a variety of services including, but not limited to, the development of test standards and certification programs for airflow, sound levels, and watts for bath, kitchen, and indoor air quality fans and energy performance for heat and energy recovery ventilators; participation in selected building code activities; and market support. HVI holds numerous meetings throughout the year to discuss and address industry issues.

Through a Certified Ratings Program, HVI provides a voluntary means for residential ventilation manufacturers to report comparable and creditable product performance information based on uniformly applied testing standards and procedures performed by independent laboratories. Together these activities help to promote the health and growth of the home ventilation industry while providing consumers with valuable information and confidence in their choices.
