GreenTrol Light-Commercial-HVACLight-Commercial HVAC

Light commercial HVAC systems account for more than 50% of today’s heating and ventilating needs. Although energy efficiency ratios have dramatically improved over the past several decades, outdoor air ventilation control has been mostly ignored.

Outdoor air is required by code, paramount to acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ) and a prerequisite for thermal comfort. Improperly controlled, these systems often provide unacceptable indoor air quality, waste energy and provide poor temperature/humidity control.

Traditional Methods

Traditional methods are ineffective in providing the outdoor air required for IAQ and pressurization, the latter which results in often misdiagnosed temperature and humidity control issues. Traditional methods can result in ventilation error in excess of 50%!

  • Rely on fixed damper position or fan speed to maintain outdoor airflow rates.
  • Vary outdoor airflow rates to maintain a maximum CO2 level.
  • Use the ratio of outdoor, return and mixed air temperatures to estimate outdoor airflow rates.
