OptiNet Applications
OptiNet systems can be deployed in many different applications to save energy, reduce carbon emissions, and improve IEQ.
Aircuity's OptiNet System delivers smart, airside performance solutions that make commercial buildings more energy efficient without sacrificing occupant safety, comfort or productivity. Our centralized suite of sensors can be configured for a wide range of applications across many different types of buildings.
Demand Control Ventilation
OptiNet systems are the superior solution for demand control ventilation (DCV) applications. Our centralized suite of sensors reduces the total number of CO2 sensors required, significantly reducing life cycle costs while improving system accuracy and energy efficiency. In addition to CO2 sensing, the OptiNet system can measure particulates and TVOC's to control ventilation based on overall IEQ—providing a unique "Healthy DCV" solution.
Laboratory DCV
Laboratory environments consume significant amounts of energy, typically exchanging air at 8-10 times an hour with 100% outside air. Utilizing the OptiNet system, critical environment areas can be continuously monitored for CO2, TVOC's, and particulates and ventilation rates can be adjusted according to actual needs of the environment. This approach addresses both safety and energy efficiency by providing more ventilation when needed, while saving significant energy when the air is clean. Aircuity's lab DCV solution has a typical ROI of 2 years or less!
Economizer Control
The unique, patented architecture of the OptiNet system allows for significantly improved economizer control. While other sensors must be exposed to outside elements in order to measure outside air and humidity levels, Aircuity's solution brings the outside air to sensors centrally located indoors. This allows us to utilize higher quality relative humidity sensors that can be routinely calibrated for superior performance.
LEED® / EPA Certification
Building owners that wish to certify their buildings under LEED or EPA guidelines will discover that the OptiNet system can provide energy efficiency points, IEQ points, and innovation points.
Air Monitoring
OptiNet systems can be configured to accurately measure and report on a number of critical indoor environmental parameters. For facility managers that need to verify tightly controlled environments (humidity levels, particulate levels, etc.), the OptiNet system is the solution to deploy!
