Home Ventilation and Pressure | HVAC Venting

Home Ventilation and Pressure - It is becoming increasingly necessary to have your home checked for home pressurization. Does your home have negative pressure inside of it? Do you have a gas or oil furnace which is inside the home and uses the air in the home for combustion air to fire the furnace or boiler?

Do you have other gas or oil-burning appliances, a fireplace, gas logs, or anything which consumes air inside the home? This does not refer to furnaces that are located in the attic (unless you have a completely sealed attic or the attic has a maximum height of fewer than 30 inches.)

Home Ventilation and Pressure | Appliances and Air Content

These appliances consume air and along with some other air-consuming appliances in your home, the issue of home pressure and home ventilation comes into question especially in this day and age when the drive is on to increase efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Homes are being built tighter with better insulation, doors, and windows. Less infiltration air is being fed into the modern homes of today so it’s important to give the home a safety check to make sure there is enough air left over for the occupants of the home.

Direct Digital Controls DDC | HVAC Control

Direct Digital Controls DDC or DDC Systems offer a high level of control for building mechanical and electrical systems. Additionally, the modern state-of-the-art direct digital controls have the ability to offers trends of data points of HVAC/Electrical equipment. Trending can be used to increase efficiency and troubleshoot problems with mechanical equipment. DDC integration can occur with any type of mechanical or electrical system in the building.

Additionally, the system can communicate via the internet for remote monitoring and control. Alternative names are building automation systems, building management systems, and energy management systems. (more…)
