VAV boxes provide cooling in harmony with heating coils, with both functions controlled by a single thermostat. In many systems, the VAV box minimum airflow is set at approximately twice the airflow required for ventilation. This unnecessary airflow increases energy consumption by requiring additional heating and cooling. This video explains the cause of the problem and outlines a practical solution.
Potential to reduce energy consumption
Mr. Strain’s work leverages modern technology to achieve superior results. With further development, this invention could contribute to reducing energy consumption and reliance on fossil fuels, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.
