Enhancing School HVAC Efficiency with a Semi-Custom Solution

In the realm of educational facilities, HVAC systems can play an important role in delivering a comfortable climate conducive for student learning as well as providing indoor air quality to minimize airborne particles. 

For school districts, understanding HVAC efficiency is a first step toward optimization. By prioritizing efficiency, school districts can achieve significant cost savings while contributing to occupant comfort, learning capacity, health, and environmental sustainability. 

Introducing this AVENTUS semi-custom split-system dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) specifically designed for a high school. It is one of two units for this project. The split-system DOAS features DX cooling coils, hot water coils, a sensible crossflow plate heat exchanger for energy efficiency, and high-efficiency filters (SA/RA) to capture airborne particles for indoor air quality.

Let's take a look at performance and see what's inside.
