What EWC Controls Bring To The Table In Terms Of Air Quality

What EWC Controls Bring To The Table In Terms Of Air Quality

By Coleen Torres


In any building or home, air quality is very important. According to research, the quality of air is one of the determinants of comfort in any office or home situation. HVAC systems are tasked with the responsibility of maintaining the air quality in a building. They strive to keep the percentages of circulating air quality as high as possible and comfortable for the users. They do this through zoning, which is one of the sectors that EWC controls have found so much success.

In zoning, the house or building is divided into numerous zones. In each of these zones, there are thermostats that control the temperatures of a specific area. The thermostats are controlled by a central operating system. After setting the desired temperatures for the different sectors, the zoning system will maintain them as they are.

A single thermostat can be effective at times but might cause discomfort. The thermostat sets a single constant temperature for the whole house, which might not always be appropriate because the conditions for each room in the house sometimes require different temperature settings. With a blanket temperature, there might be a situation where one is comfortable in one area of the house and uncomfortable in another.

Zoning offers a stress free solution that does not need a lot of adjustments. Zoning is an efficient solution, replacing either the tedious single thermostat or the expensive single air conditioning system for every room. Air conditioning systems consume a lot of electricity and increase energy costs. A zoning system reduces could reduce this bill by about 30 per cent, which is substantial considering that the heating and cooling expenses account for up to 40 per cent of the expenditure in a house.

Using an air conditioning system consumes a lot of energy, and adds to the expenditure on heating or cooling. It has been found that a typical family will spend at least 40 per cent of their income on heating and cooling. Using a zoning system can reduce this number by about 30 per cent. However, there is much more to HVAC than just temperatures.

Dampers also contribute to the control of air quality. In large buildings, they are especially useful because they are a cheaper alternative to air conditioning and zoning. Dampers can compliment thermostat systems, because they work in different ways and control aspects, which zoning or air conditioning system cannot. Some of them do not even require setting because they are automatic and regulate on their own.

Zoning systems have many advantages. They help house or building owner achieve the comfort zone. This is the percentage of air quality that more than three quarters of building occupants will normally find comfortable. One will therefore have their household or employees as comfortable as possible as they go about their daily activities.

There are many advantages of zoning systems in HVAC. They help the house owner achieve the comfort zone. This is the level of circulating air quality that scientists have determined to be comfortable for about 80 per cent of typical building occupants. They are cheap and comfortable, reducing the energy expenditure while improving the comfort of occupants in an office or a home. Poor quality of internal air circulation is also bad for health of people. It might make it easy to contract airborne diseases or affect the health of the elderly and very young kids.
