System solutions for demand-control and continous-commissioning of room-based ventilation in dwellings

The objective of the project is to develop solutions for demand-control and continuous-commissioning of room-based ventilation in dwellings. The system will extend ventilation units with various sensors and wireless communication. The project will synergize monitoring and control of indoor climate to enable new investment models. Online monitoring will ensure that systems work as intended throughout their lifetime. The project will enable broad deployment by removing financial and structural barriers and will ensure optimal performance.
The project will target building owners, administrators, tenants and energy-service companies that seek a model for investment, installation and operation of effective ventilation systems. The system will add the most value for the tenant, who will experience personal controls, reduce or maintain their energy bill, improve sleep quality, avoid moisture issues, minimize pollutants and reduce discomfort due to over-heating. These items would address common issues in renovated buildings. The added value for the tenant implies a better product for building owners and administrators through higher rent and lower tenant turnover. Continuous commissioning would ensure greater longevity of the ventilation systems and building constructions, which would add future value for building owners.
