What is a Variable Air Volume (VAV) system?

A Variable Air Volume (VAV) HVAC system adjusts the volume of air based on the heating and cooling needs of specific spaces. VAV systems save energy by minimizing waste. VAV zoning offers flexible temperature management and comfort customization in large properties.

How can I improve indoor air quality in my commercial building?

Improving indoor air quality (IAQ) is essential for a healthy and productive workplace.:

• HVAC Maintenance: Ensure regular maintenance, including filter replacements, coil cleaning, and ductwork inspections.
• Ventilation: Increase ventilation rates to bring in fresh outdoor air.
• Air Purification: Install air purifiers with HEPA or other high-efficiency filters to remove pollutants and allergens.
• Source Control: Identify and eliminate sources of indoor air pollution, such as chemical fumes or excess moisture.
• Monitoring: Monitor IAQ parameters like temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, and VOCs.

A qualified HVAC professional can assess your IAQ needs and recommend strategies and solutions.

How does geothermal heating and cooling work?

Geothermal HVAC systems use the relatively constant temperature of the earth as a heat exchange medium. During winter, heat from the ground warms the fluid, and this warmth is extracted by a heat pump and transferred indoors. In the summer, the process reverses, A heat pump extracts heat from the home and transfers it to the cooler fluid, which is then dissipated into the ground. Geothermal heating and cooling is highly energy-efficient, although installation costs can be higher due to the ground loop installation. Geothermal systems reduce energy use and have a smaller carbon footprint.
