Guide: We explain demand controlled ventilation

What if, on a summer day, we cool a building as if it was fully occupied? And conversely, what if we heat it in the winter as if it was being used to it's full capacity, when in fact it isn't? Such practices causes unnecessary strain on both building economics and the environment. Let us explain demand controlled ventilation (DCV), key for an energy-efficient building operation without compromising the indoor climate for the people inside.

Schools are hihgly relevant examples when explaining the benefits of demand controlled ventilation (DCV). These buildings typically face distinct variations in occupancy and activity levels, the utilisation of a class room is often as low as 30-35%. Heating or cooling class rooms as if they were fully occupied at all times is, understandably, very uneconomic.

A DCV system continuously adjusts airflow and enables adaptations to be made on a variety of parameters to maintain a healthy and comfortable indoor climate at all times. Our DCV system, WISE, allows for an array of products to be combined, this way it is possible to maximise the energy-saving potential.
