PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
OptiNet® Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) System
Capture, sense and control… that's at the very heart of the
OptiNet system. This groundbreaking system captures air
samples from specific building locations and sends these air
samples to a centralized suite of sensors.
OPTINET
The OptiNet® patented system remotely takes air samples
throughout a building and sends them to the centralized
sensor suite. This constant measuring of critical indoor
environmental levels is the basis of actionable information
used by building ventilation systems to adjust to changing conditions. This results in optimum
energy efficiency and increased Indoor Environmental Quality.
Bar-raising architecture
Capture, sense and control… that’s at the very heart of the OptiNet system. This
groundbreaking system captures air samples from specific building locations and sends these
air samples to a centralized suite of sensors. By using a single bank of high quality sensors, the
accuracy of the measurements increase while significantly lowering life cycle costs associated
with keeping the system accurately calibrated. The sensor data is routed to the building
ventilation controls to adjust ventilation rates based on “real time” information.
The issues of remote sensors solved
AirGenuity has solved the issues of traditional sensing systems by using centralized sensors.
Analyzing air samples with a single sensor generates a true differential measurement that
greatly increases system accuracy. That means higher quality sensors can be deployed to
measure more critical parameters that in turn reduces the number of sensors required. A major
benefit of this is the lowering of life cycle costs with our cost-effective scheduled calibration
service. As a result, you can rely on AirGenuity for accuracy and effectiveness… now and for
years to come.
OPTINET APPLICATION
With the OptiNet System from AirGenuity you don’t have to sacrifice occupant safety, comfort
or productivity to make your commercial facility’s ventilation more energy efficient.
AirGenuity’s smart, centralized suite of sensors can be set up for a wide variety of applications
and buildings.
OPTINET COMPONENTS
A wide range of a facility’s indoor environmental data is continuously being collected by the
OptiNet® system. First gathered from individual spaces and the air handler, air samples are
then sent to the Sensor Suite for analysis. Once analyzed, the results are communicated to the
Building Management System and airflow is adjusted to improve Indoor Environmental Quality
while reducing energy costs. In addition, the air sample data is also transmitted to the web-
based AirGenuity Knowledge Centre for archiving, review, and report generation.
OPTINET OPERATION
The OptiNet system provides “real time” monitoring and control of a facility’s ventilation by the
continuous collection of a variety of building environmental data. The Air Data Router gathers
air samples from different areas. These samples are then multiplexed through the OptiNet
network to be analyzed by the Sensor Suite. This analysis data is communicated to your Building
Management System, allowing you to control airflow that reduces energy costs and improves
Indoor Environmental Quality. It is also transmitted to the web-based AirGenuity Knowledge
Centre for archiving, review, and report generation.
