Enhance Ventilation and Ensure IAQ and Energy Efficiency
HVAC systems in densely occupied spaces are designed to accommodate the maximum expected number of occupants. However, this can lead to energy waste when the actual number of occupants is lower. Occupancy counters are effective in large spaces where CO2 levels take time to reach a steady state. They can quickly work with airflow measurements to adjust ventilation rates based on actual occupancy.
Ventilate properly to conserve energy and ensure a healthy
indoor environment.
Every space has unique ventilation rates and associated CO2 levels. DCV starts at the zone area ventilation rate and increases proportionally with CO2 levels. The system shall provide no less ventilation than required for the actual occupancy; providing more than the total design occupancy rate to the zone uses more energy.
Measuring airflow is essential. Relying solely on CO2 levels to control the damper could result in an uncertain amount of air being brought in. EBTRON airflow measurement devices allow you to set upper and lower limits for ventilation, ensuring that it stays within the required range, saves energy, and maintains IAQ for healthy indoor environments

EBTRON technology in converging airstreams or across energy-exchanging components provides energy performance insight and acts as an airside energy meter.
Based on the data collected from a 10-year-old hospital’s operating room, everything seemed to be functioning as expected. However, a different story emerged after installing an EBTRON airflow measuring station.
Several existing VAV flow cross sensors were measuring significantly lower than actual flows, as indicated by the newly installed EBTRON airflow measurement stations. With the help of this new information, the building engineer could reduce the static set-point on the air handling unit and slow down the supply and return VFDs. This allowed for better airflow tracking and pressurization, resulting in improved validation of air changes and energy savings in the critical space.
We understand the importance of accurate airflow measurement and have a reputation for delivering reliable results.
