Healthy indoor air and energy-efficient HVAC solutions

We all spend a significant proportion of our lives inside, but before COVID how often did we consider the impact that indoor air quality (IAQ) had on our productivity, well-being or health? Now this issue has now come to the forefront of discussions amongst professionals not only from within the building controls industry, but also from the wider scientific community.

HVAC systems are frequently installed to help maintain the comfort levels of the building, but the health benefits for occupants and the energy efficiency of a development are usually less understood. Central air handling units (AHUs) can be used to address both sustainability and IAQ issues simultaneously.

Belimo supplies a range of innovative solutions to optimize monitoring and control of HVAC systems and IAQ. Prior to COVID, The Belimo had already produced a framework, the Seven Essentials of Healthy Indoor Air, to provide valuable information on how HVAC devices can contribute to IAQ in buildings without compromising energy efficiency.

Belimo summarised the topic with inputs from IAQ experts into a brochure, which can be downloaded here

VAV SOLUTIONS FOR DEMAND-CONTROLLED VENTILATION 

The air we breathe impacts our health and productivity; therefore, the precise control of airflow is critical in every workspace. Well-designed variable air volume (VAV) systems ensure the proper amount of fresh air is supplied and contaminated air is removed in a controlled manner in the space. Belimo offers VAV controllers and actuators that can be tailored to specific requirements: The VAV-Compact is an economical, all-in-one solution; an actuator, controller and sensor bundled into one device for variable and constant volumetric flow systems for use in office buildings, hotels, hospitals and other non-residential buildings. The modular structure of the VAV-Universal consists of a VRU controller with an integrated high-quality differential pressure sensor that controls the volumetric flow specified by the room automation system, e.g., room temperature or air quality controller.
