This article describes how a proprietary demand control ventilation system equipped with an IAQ sensor helps provide acceptable air quality, comfort, and cost effectiveness, especially with VAV systems. Properly implemented demand control ventilation (DCV) strategies can provide the opportunity to maintain acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ) in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 while offering significant energy savings. This article will introduce a proprietary DCV system already equipped with an IAQ sensor that directly measures the concentration of VOCs in an occupied space and accordingly modulates supply air rates to provide acceptable IAQ, comfort, and cost effectiveness, especially for variable air volume (VAV) systems. In addition, system filter and bypass filter selection criteria for both retrofit and new building applications will be outlined.
