The Simple Elegance of VAV Systems
Unlike homes, commercial and industrial facilities are rarely built with energy efficiency and climate control in mind. They often feature open spaces, complex layouts and heating and cooling loads that vary dramatically from one area to the next. Consequently, it can be very difficult to distribute conditioned air evenly and efficiently.
Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems are designed to directly address this issue. In a VAV system, individual units consisting of dampers and actuators are controlled by thermostats for specific zones within the building. As conditions change within each zone, the dampers automatically adjust to provide corresponding increases or decreases in airflow.
How Commercial VAV Systems Benefit Businesses
With conventional HVAC systems, conditioned air is distributed equally to all interior spaces. As a result, energy is often wasted on heating or cooling areas that don't need it. Conversely, VAV systems actively direct conditioned air wherever it's needed most. Optimizing airflow in this way minimizes waste and allows the air handler to operate at a lower speed. In addition, the ability to manage each zone independently provides a higher level of control and customization. These unique attributes provide a variety of benefits for businesses of all kinds, including:
- Greater efficiency and lower operating costs
- Precise, flexible temperature and humidity management
- Reduced noise and equipment wear and tear
