Advantages of Feedback’s Occupant Count-Based DCV Vs. CO2 DCV
- The sensors Feedback uses do not drift and only require an initial calibration (low maintenance, reliable data).
- Feedback’s software platform continuously calculates highly accurate, zoned occupant counts in real time (no lag time).
- Granularity of data allows for lower minimums (OA dampers, fan speeds) for longer periods, leading to greater HVAC efficiency (significantly reduced energy consumption and GHG emissions – savings stemming from both reduced fan energy required and thermal savings).
- Significant incentives are available in many jurisdictions (improving already highly attractive payback period and ROI).
- Utilization data can also be used for predictive analytics and additional use cases – i.e., additional efficiencies (cleaning, maintenance, security, room booking, etc.).
- Proactive ventilation based on actual real-time demand stays ahead of C02 spikes (Sustainable IAQ).
