As the digital transformation of the HVAC industry continues rapidly, RenewAire is proud to announce the launch of our latest ancillary product: the BACnet Fan Control. This innovative solution provides an inexpensive and streamlined solution to connecting RenewAire energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) with a building management system (BMS) or building automation system (BAS).
What sets the RenewAire BACnet Fan Control apart? First of all, it’s much easier and less expensive to use than traditional integrated programmable controls (IPC). Previously, connecting ERVs to a BMS or BAS might cost thousands of dollars, but with this system the cost is considerably lower. This significant price reduction opens up new possibilities for applications of all types, particularly those with budget constraints like schools.
How is this possible? The BACnet Fan Control uses standard controls, thus enabling it to optimize ERV effectiveness at a reasonable price point. This simple wall-mount controller allows the user to turn a RenewAire ERV on and off through the keypad, through a digital input with a remote switch or through a BMS with BACnet MS/TP. Essentially, this solution delivers exactly what customers need without breaking the bank, making indoor air quality (IAQ) improvement via ERVs easier and more affordable.
