Intelligent Demand Control Ventilation
Product Sheet: Intelligent Demand Control Ventilation
Maintaining Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in commercial buildings requires that significant outside (fresh) air be supplied according to building codes and industry standards. Most retail sites have HVAC systems statically setup to serve maximum occupancy levels. As buildings are rarely fully occupied, the HVAC system wastes energy heating, cooling, and dehumidifying this excess amount of outside air. In many applications, the HVAC fan is programmed to run 24/7, regardless of heating or cooling need, or occupancy levels, further wasting energy.
Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) systems vary the amount of outside air supplied into a commercial building based on occupancy. Older HVAC systems require an expensive damper retrofit, or total unit replacement in order to support DCV. Site Controls' proprietary Intelligent DCV manages both new AND legacy HVAC systems in real-time to adjust the amount of outside air based on actual occupancy levels, actually improving air quality in humid climates, and eliminating wasted fan energy. The annual HVAC energy savings are significant: 15%+. Perhaps more importantly, IDCV can be installed at a far lower cost than retrofit or unit replacement.
Benefits of Intelligent DVC
- Reduced energy usage
- Improved customer comfort
- Lower maintenance
- Lower customer overhead costs
- Reduced installation costs
- Real-time alerts and alarms
- Reduced government agency compliance risk
Bottom Line
Site Controls' Site-Command with the IDCV option provides superior savings and ROI through reduced installation costs, RTU capital investments, maintenance costs, customer overhead costs and energy usage. By above-site monitoring, alerting and alarming, performance and government agency compliance risks are reduced.
