Demand Control Ventilation

Adjust ventilation automatically with DCV

By exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outside air, ventilation systems help increase the comfort and productivity of building occupants.

Typically, ventilation systems exchange air at the same volume 24/7 whether the building is vacant or full, wasting energy and money. Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) uses sensors to monitor and control airflow based on the level of occupancy at any given time.

Why upgrade?

  • A grey checkmark enclosed in a circle.

    Reduce heating and cooling use during low occupancy.

  • A grey checkmark enclosed in a circle.

    Improve indoor air quality during high occupancy.

  • A grey checkmark enclosed in a circle.

    Save on ongoing energy costs.

Which buildings can benefit?

Retail spaces
Offices
Primary/secondary school gymnasiums
Affordable multi-family housing
Post-secondary school classrooms
Community centres/sports arenas

What you need to know about DCV systems

DCV systems adjust the rate of airflow based on the level of occupancy in the space. This helps remove pollutants resulting from activities occurring in the space, with carbon dioxide (CO2) being the most common type of pollutant.

A common component in DCV systems is a CO2 sensor, which automatically adjusts the amount of fresh outside air your building uses, based on occupancy.

Optimizing building control to save energy

“DCV is an essential control strategy for buildings with unpredictable occupancy, including theatres, gyms, auditoriums, retail stores and more.”
George Hantzis, Energy Solutions Advisor, Enbridge Gas

This offer is intended for DCV systems equipped with self-calibrating sensors or other types of sensors whose calibration warranty period by the manufacturer is 15 years or more. Incentive applies to the installation of DCV with CO2 sensors to single-zone, constant-volume ventilation system. Qualifying spaces include retail, office, primary/secondary school gymnasiums, post-secondary school classrooms, community centre meeting spaces, exercise centres/sports arenas, senior/ nursing/long-term care facility common areas, cinemas, and performing arts centres and hotel conference rooms. Mall common areas, office break rooms and telephone/data entry facilities with zones larger than 500 sq. ft. are not eligible. Spaces with energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or heat recovery ventilator (HRV), multi-zone systems or variable air volume (VAV) are not eligible. Qualifying spaces must be heated during heating season by natural gas-fuelled equipment. For new construction applications, this equipment is not eligible to buildings/spaces where DCV is required by current building code. Applications with free cooling economizers are eligible for this prescriptive equipment.

Disclaimers:
Any references to energy savings is based on the assumption that the participant is reducing their natural gas consumption through participation in the Fixed Incentive program.
