# Everglades™

## Advanced filtration to target _wildfire smoke_

Everglades™ reflects Metalmark's bioinspired material science heritage while supporting the broader goal: helping organizations prioritize, act, and verify improvement.

Up to 5x

Test reports confirm wildfire smoke removal up to 5x better than typical MERV 13 HVAC filters.

### Role in the Metalmark platform

#### Filtration matters. Decisions matter more

Everglades™ should not be evaluated as a catalog item alone. Metalmark helps teams understand where advanced filtration fits, which spaces require attention, and how results will be verified.

#### Start with measured risk

Identify where filtration can support the broader indoor environmental strategy.

#### Use as a drop-in layer

Plan around existing filter dimensions and operating requirements.

#### Document the result

Pair filtration changes with a verification path that shows what improved.

## A filtration component for measured smoke-readiness strategies

### 01 Materials science foundation

Informed by Metalmark's work with nature-inspired structures and advanced materials.

### 02 Enhanced smoke protection

Designed to improve wildfire smoke removal while maintaining a standard filter format.

### 03 System component

Supports targeted strategies within a broader indoor environmental intelligence platform.

### 04 Verification context

Intended to be paired with measurement, interpretation, and documented improvement.

**Size**

24 in x 24 in x 2 in

**Flow limitation**

2000 CFM @ 0.5 in H2O

**Air filter rating**

MERV 13 / 11A

Rated per ASHRAE 52.2 and Appendix J standard testing.

**Installation**

Drop-in replacement for filters of the same dimensions and grade; compatible with standard commercial HVAC systems.

**Smoke performance**

Up to 5x compared with typical MERV 13 HVAC filters.

**Test note**

Pine needle smoke used as a comparable analyte for wildfire smoke. Outperforms other MERV 13 filters on the market for smoke removal efficiency.

## Build a filtration strategy around measured risk

Everglades™ belongs inside a readiness and verification workflow. Metalmark can help determine where enhanced filtration is the right action, how it should be implemented, and whether the expected improvement occurred.

## Understand where filter upgrade belongs in your indoor environmental strategy

Start with an operating question, a representative site, or a smoke-readiness priority. Metalmark can help define the right first step.

**Smoke readiness**

For organizations planning for wildfire smoke exposure and site-specific vulnerability.

**Filtration fit**

For teams evaluating replacement strategies across spaces or locations.
