The ACHR NEWS recently contacted Leal, Haak, Fox, and representatives from three other HVAC manufacturers to ask about products that support high-performance buildings. “That integrated approach is particularly valuable in high-performance buildings, where operational efficiency and occupant wellness are equally important.” (Courtesy of Mars Air Systems) p>Replacing the traditional “on/off” air curtain operation with SimpleLink minimizes the air curtain’s unnecessary energy consumption, said Naga Thiyagarajan, director of engineering at Mars Air Systems. BUILDING INTELLIGENCE: The Trane Technologies AI Control is a cloud-based service that uses artificial intelligence to learn and continuously optimize a building’s HVAC system. AI Control, Fox said, uses variables such as weather, occupancy, and utility rates to adjust HVAC system setpoints in real time, enabling buildings to reduce energy waste and improve HVAC system consistency.
