Sustainable Systems: Finding your Solution

High-performance air systems demand modern design approaches with leading-edge products and technology in order to optimize comfort,

reduce energy consumption and ensure the long-term sustainability of a building. The presentation will discuss high performance solutions that can prioritize thermal

comfort in nearly any application and provide the option for smaller/individual zones of temperature control. The energy efficient systems presented

have been proven to provide up to 67% energy savings when compared to other more traditional HVAC systems. For long-term

sustainability, these solutions create future resilient spaces that ensure no comfort zones are split when office walls are put up or moved.

The modular concept and flexibility provided by these systems guarantees that any changes in the floor plan will not trigger expensive and disruptive changes.
