Monday March 27, 2023 at 7 pm EDT: “Real-time occupant-based Demand Control Ventilation – The GHG reduction solution for our time.”

On behalf of the AEE Long Island Chapter, for our continuing ZOOM Meeting series on Monday March 27, 2023, we welcomed Daniel Trojanowski of Feedback Solutions, who presented “Real-time occupant-based Demand Control Ventilation – The GHG reduction solution for our time.”

The presentation addressed key verticals, competitive differentiators, the ease of implementation, and an in-depth view of the Feedback Solutions’ patented platform through a case study analysis and cover the ways in which the solution effectively tackles current legislation/mandates around energy efficiency and GHG reduction with a compelling ROI/payback period.

Feedback Solutions leverages best in class 3rd party people counting sensors with its patented technology platform to continuously calculate highly accurate, real-time occupant counts within each HVAC zone in a building. This data is then communicated via BACnet/IP, (sent as an analog input value to the BMS or DDC) so that ventilation requirements are optimized seamlessly based on actual occupant demand.
