Home Ventilating Institute

The Client
The Home Ventilating Institute - HVI - is a non-profit association of the manufacturers of home ventilating products. HVI offers a variety of services including test standards, certification programs and many other programs.

Today, HVI represents manufacturers from the United States, Canada, Asia and Europe, producing the majority of the residential ventilation products sold in North America.

The Challenge
The Home Ventilating Institute needed a cost effective way to spread the word about proper home ventilation and also to provide the HVI Certified Products Directory in electronic format.

Project objectives included spreading the word about HVI and member companies - many manufacturers and distributors.

The Solution
Our solution included information architecture, navigation design, strategy, design, and consulting services. The site has proven to be an effective way for members to find information, access the Product Directory in the field, and for consumers to access contact information for manufacturers.

Visitors to the site can choose to view information about the HVI, read about the benefits of proper ventilating, and see the product directory and a listing of manufacturers and distributors.

The Results
The site has already proven to be an asset to HVI as it has organized the division and for the first time given HVI a way to publish accurate, timely information without the added cost of printing and mass mailings.
