Demand Controlled Ventilation
5 Reasons to Switch to a CO2-Controlled HVACR System
New builds and retrofits can both take advantage of the benefits of Demand Control Ventilation utilizing a carbon dioxide monitor. Here are 5 reasons adding CO2 control to an HVACR system can save energy and money.
- Indoor Air Quality - CO2 sensors answer the "fresh air" problem of modern, sealed buildings
- Occupant Comfort - Controlling CO2 levels creates a much healthier and pleasant work and living space
- Equipment Life - Running DCV only when people are present reduces the wear and tear on the entire HVAC system
- Cost Savings - Energy savings up to 30% are reported for DCV systems
- LEED Accreditation - CO2 sensing can assist in LEED certification, which may include tax breaks and incentives
The CO2 controllers below are designed to work with industry-standard systems, including 0-10V or 4-20mA control and industrial relays. While each has unique specifications depending on the application, they are all designed not only to improve the health and well-being of your clients but to save them money as well.
