Variable Air Volume (VAV) App
What is the VAV App?
It is an app offering seamless configuration and integration with existing infrastructure, remote support, and streamlined commissioning for management of Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems.
How does it work?
The app allows end users to easily configure settings, space conditions, and desired set points for VAV controllers on a user-friendly platform. Additionally, the VAV App enhances energy efficiency requirements and improves indoor air quality while allowing real time monitoring of the entire system. It allows for customizable user profiles, flexible scheduling, and seamless integration with other building automation systems.
Who is it for?
It is designed for installers, balancers, building owners, and facility managers who need efficient management of rooftop HVAC systems with minimal configuration and settings. Extensive programming and configuration are not required with our app-based solution.
What are the benefits?
Benefits include customized user interface for integrators, balancers and end users, algorithms for energy efficiency, improved indoor air quality, flexible user profiles, seamless integration with existing systems, ease of commissioning, and remote support capabilities.
Is it right for me?
This app-based solution is a good fit if you work with or manage small to medium-sized buildings, need efficient airflow management, and seek a solution that does not involve extensive programming for both the controllers and UI.
Features
Optimized airflow management
The VAV App delivers precise airflow control based on real-time demand, dynamically adjusting to heating and cooling needs across various zones. This ensures consistent comfort and reduces energy consumption by optimizing airflow according to current requirements.
Enhanced energy efficiency
The app supports independent zone control and scheduling to minimize energy wastage. It enables targeted delivery of conditioned air and features proactive energy management strategies, such as load shedding during peak periods and real-time energy usage monitoring.
Improved indoor air quality (IAQ)
Integrated sensors for CO2, VOCs, humidity, and occupancy levels, allowing the VAV app to automatically adjust ventilation rates. This maintains optimal IAQ and promotes a healthier indoor environment.
Customizable user experiences
The app allows for customizable profiles and schedules, enabling facility managers to tailor heating and cooling settings for different zones and user preferences. This enhances occupant comfort and space utilization in commercial buildings, offices, and co-working spaces.
Flexibility in user profiles
The IMS offers tailored interfaces for various user roles—Integrators, Balancers, End Users, Facility Management teams, and factory users. Automatic discovery of controllers and profile assignment streamline access to relevant controls and data based on user roles.
Seamless integration and scalability
The app integrates with existing building automation systems and cloud platforms using standard protocols like BACnet and Modbus. This ensures compatibility with current systems and supports future expansions or upgrades.
Ease of commissioning
The app features purpose-built interfaces and intelligent device discovery to simplify setup. Future integration with NEPConnect will enable remote configuration and project profile downloads, reducing commissioning time and improving deployment efficiency.
Remote support and intelligent troubleshooting
Advanced support features include automatic troubleshooting with Wireshark software and optional cloud connectivity, allowing for remote assistance from support teams. This enhances troubleshooting efficiency and reduces startup times.
