Ventilation optimisation

Conventional pressure optimisation only looks at pressure. Ventilation optimisation in Econex controls with context: dampers, rooms and comfort – without sacrificing the whole system for one problematic point.

  • Dampers that stay too open over time and keep lacking air are taken out of control instead of driving pressure ever higher
  • Pressure is built carefully when reserve is needed – not blindly
  • Operators see what the system is thinking: why pressure changes and which dampers are in control
  • SFP is shown in real time on the units where the optimisation runs (Norwegian TEK17 requirement for new buildings: ≤ 1.5 kW/(m³/s))

Pressure optimisation
Duct pressure is lowered until the most open damper sits at ~90%. 360.001 now 121 Pa.
