Key Features

The Solution

TRADITIONAL BALANCING

  • Traditional Balancing can’t respond to system changes
  • Too much ventilation = wasted energy
  • Too little ventilation = bad air quality

STACK EFFECT

  • As heat rises in buildings during winter months the ventilation rates can more than double from “Stack Effect”
  • The excess air forces the fans to freewheel
  • Stale air from lower floors can contaminate upper floors
  • Result: Bad Air Quality & Wasted Energy

"AUTO" BALANCING

  • Use of the ABV creates an “auto balancing” system
  • An auto balanced system assures correct ventilation rates regardless of system changes
  • Autobalancing = less energy $ and better IAQ
