| Energy
conservation through automatic ventilation control |
| The
AIRXPERT 7000 uses CO2 data to conserve
energy in two ways. First, the system investigates dozens of occupied
spaces in a building for evidence of persistent over-ventilation.
Then, the AIRXPERT 7000 is reconfigured to monitor
CO2 in just those areas with the highest potential payback.
That data is exported continuously through a BACnet interface to the
building automation system to modulate ventilation in concert with
fluctuating demand. |

| Benefit
Statements |
| EC-1 |
Identify
over-ventilated areas where outside air can be reduced to save energy
without compromising the ASHRAE Ventilation Standard. |
| EC-2 |
Conserve
energy through demand-controlled ventilation (DCV), which automatically
adjusts ventilation to match fluctuating occupancy levels. |
| EC-3 |
Shed
summertime energy load to avoid utility price thresholds without compromising
the ASHRAE Ventilation Standard. |
| EC-4 |
Verify
that return air CO2 at the air handler is a valid indicator
of occupancy in demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) applications. |
