Mixed air in HVAC systems is the blend of return air from the building and outdoor air. Conventional control strategies waste significant energy by continuously maintaining the mixed air at a temperature cold enough to satisfy the building’s maximum cooling requirement. During most operating conditions this results in unnecessary overcooling, forcing the heating system to reheat the air to maintain comfort—a costly cycle of simultaneous cooling and heating.
Prove me wrong!
I am not someone who likes uncertainty. I am an energy researcher. When a result does not match the prediction, you find the error, fix it, and move on. For years, I could not find the error. My device kept outperforming what the standard calculations said it should be able to do. Consistently. Repeatedly. By around 26 percent. So I did the one thing that made me genuinely nervous — I handed everything to an independent expert and asked him to prove me wrong.
