AVENTUS Semi-Custom Split DOAS Benefits

Ventilation

A high school locker room needs good ventilation and this semi-custom AVENTUS split-system DOAS is an effective HVAC solution. By utilizing energy recovery ventilation through a sensible flat plate heat exchanger with a modulating bypass damper and actuator to draw 100% fresh outdoor air without recirculating contaminants or odors within the space.

Indoor air quality

Combining 100% fresh outdoor air with high-efficiency filters at the OA and RA effectively capture dust, pollen, and other airborne particles and contribute to a healthier environment. The indoor air quality this semi-custom AVENTUS split-system DOAS brings fosters a healthier and more comfortable environment for students and staff, which can enhance overall well-being and performance.

Reducing costs

By utilizing an aluminum sensible crossflow flat plate heat exchanger, the incoming fresh air (outdoor air) is preconditioned by the conditioned outgoing air (exhaust air) without air stream contamination. Energy recovery translates to energy savings, which is important for schools operating within tight budgets. By using energy recovery ventilation, schools reduce energy consumption and can also reduce their carbon footprint.
