BAM 59: Can you use occupancy counting for demand ventilation?
In this episode, I discuss the feasibility of occupancy counting to control outdoor air ventilation. Man, who would have thought that we would be having this discussion? Lately, it seems that I am seeing more and more ideas that are combining different technologies to achieve outcomes. Case and point, I recently had a BAM nation member and personal friend Walter reach out to me with a question around the energy saving potential of using occupancy counting to reduce outdoor air flow. In this episode you will learn: How outdoor air ventilation works from a technical and engineering perspective How to calculate energy savings from outdoor air reduction The effect of the engineering and contracting world on technology adoption How ASHRAE 62.1 determines the minimum outdoor air you need to provide
