 VAV (variable air volume)




A variable air volume (VAV) system is a type of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. It is a control system that adjusts the amount of air flow in a space to maintain a comfortable environment. The system uses sensors to monitor the space's temperature and humidity. The sensors send signals to the controller, which adjusts the amount of air flow accordingly.


 The VAV system is a more efficient way to regulate the air flow in a space than the traditional HVAC system. The VAV system is more energy-efficient because it only circulates the amount of air that is needed to maintain the space at the desired temperature. The traditional HVAC system circulates a constant volume of air, regardless of the space's actual needs. The VAV system is also more effective at maintaining a comfortable environment. The traditional HVAC system can create hot and cold spots because it circulates the same volume of air throughout the space. The VAV system, on the other hand, can adjust the air flow to meet the specific needs of the space, resulting in a more comfortable environment. If you're looking for an efficient and effective way to regulate the air flow in your space, a VAV system is a great option.
