1 SMART VENTILATION MANAGEMENT: CHANGING THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT VENTILATION

2 VENTILATION: THE KEY TO HEALTHY & EFFICIENT BUILDINGS At Ventacity Systems we believe that ventilation deserves more attention than it has received. That s because managing ventilation is the key to achieving healthy, efficient buildings. The benefits include: Smart Ventilation Management Smart Ventilation Management is Ventacity s complete integrated solution: Decreased building energy usage - resulting in lower operating costs & smaller carbon footprint Separate Ventilation and Heating/Cooling Systems Improved building health and occupant comfort for productivity, satisfaction and building value Ultra-Efficient Heat Recovery Ventilators Intelligent Ventilation Control Smart Analytics Ventilation all the time, whenever its needed even when heating & cooling isn t running Dashboard and Remote Optimization Tools As buildings have become tighter and the connection between air quality and productivity is better understood, it has more important than ever to achieve both energy efficiency and building health.

3 SEPARATING VENTILATION FROM HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING Buildings are now being built more tightly than ever. While this improves energy efficiency, it can cause many problems with poor indoor air quality. As more studies continue to show the effects of indoor air quality on everything from short- and long-term health to productivity, ventilation needs to be enhanced to improve building health. VS3000 RT Traditional systems combine HVAC into one unit, meaning that ventilation is always dependent upon heating or cooling compromising building health and energy efficiency. Ventacity s products enable HVAC engineers to design buildings that reduce energy use by 50% by separating ventilation from air conditioning and applying heat recovery technology (along with heat pumps) to a building. VS1000 RT Ventacity s HRVs work to reduce CO2 levels and high concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air. Occupants experience improved health and comfort since the system consistently works to boost indoor air quality based on measured and forecasted circumstances. ULTRA-EFFICIENT HEAT RECOVERY Ventacity s units are designed specifically for ventilation, completely separating it from heating and cooling. This ensures appropriate building health. By adding heat recovery at an incredibly high rate (up to 93%) Ventacity s units also resolve the problem of energy efficiency. 95 Outside Air 75 Return Air CoP 20 CoP Supply Air 93 Exhaust Air 35 Outside Air 70 Return Air 67 Supply Air 45 Exhaust Air If fully deployed, these systems could reduce U.S. carbon dioxide emissions by 220 million metric tons each year all while reducing building operating costs significantly for owners and managers.

4 INTELLIGENT VENTILATION CONTROL By intelligently sensing building conditions, Smart Ventilation Management allows Ventacity s ultra-efficient HRVs to bring in exactly the right amount of fresh air at just the right temperature. Ventacity s HRVs have built-in sensors that continuously monitor the air going into and out of the building. Combined with external sensors both within and outside the building, Ventacity HRVs adjust to numerous conditions to ensure building efficiency and health remains intact. Ensure High Indoor Air Quality A Brain On Board provides programmable response modes and scheduling. Ventacity s HRVs can be set for timed based control or environmental response or both. In environmental response mode, the controller can sense occupancy, humidity, temperature, and pressure Office School Fitness Club 1 Active Building Hours Maximize Ventilation Off Off 1 Active Building Hours 1 Active Building Hours then continuously adjust ventilation for optimal health and comfort while minimizing energy use.

5 SMART BUILDING GATEWAY AND VENTACITY CLOUD ARCHITECTURE NEW FOR 2017 Continuous learning based on trends, conditions and analysis The optional Smart Building Gateway (SBG) and secure Smart Building Cloud Services, integrated with our intelligent HRVs, forms Ventacity s Smart Ventilation Management System. This integrated hardware and software architecture is unmatched in the ventilation sector. Smart HRV / ERVs Smart Building Cloud Services Smart Building Gateway (SBG) LTE Online Dashboard Smart Building Gateway (SBG) Ventacity Cloud ed Reports Smart Building Gateway (SBG) Ethernet or WiFi Encrypted Private Network (VPN) Mobile Alerts Ultra-efficient heat recovery ventilators with built-in intelligence sense conditions and control ventilation levels to ensure optimal building health and energy efficiency. The Smart Building Gateway (SBG), a communication gateway that connects to a secure, private cloud network. Data transferred through the SBG is encrypted for security. There is no connection to the public internet or a building s IT network, so hacking the system itself or a facility s entire IT network is nonviable. Smart Building Cloud Services that allow remote monitoring and management of the ventilation system. The system records and learns from historical building conditions, recognizing patterns and making recommendations that establish, maintain and continuously improve the health and efficiency of the building. Data is consolidated in the cloud with unlimited storage of historical data for trend analysis. Historical and real-time data is available on any connected device within a user-friendly dashboard. reports provide system performance, efficiency information and actionable maintenance and optimization recommendations. Text messages from the system send high priority alerts that require immediate action.

6 DASHBOARD AND REMOTE OPTIMIZATION TOOLS Sensor problem detection Unlimited data trending & comparisons Access to over 100 data points gauging efficiency & health Direct, secure connection to your HRV unit Intuitive dashboards Instant notifications & maintenance reminders Around-theclock access from any connected device Remote Ventilation Management Building owners, facility managers and service technicians are now able to do even more including: Monitor and manage energy consumption and indoor air quality Control and diagnose multiple units remotely from any connected device View and trend performance data to benchmark performance Increase unit uptime, extend equipment life and reduce service costs with preventative maintenance notifications based on performance

7 Reports BENEFITS OF SMART VENTILATION MANAGEMENT BUILDING OWNERS AND MANAGERS Building owners and facility managers will appreciate how easy it is to keep occupants comfortable and productive while keeping energy costs under control with an intuitive real-time ventilation dashboard. The Smart Ventilation Management System: Automatically registers unit energy consumption Allows easy monitoring of multiple units Validates air quality Sends notifications and alarms for maintenance Facilitates effective decision making by benchmarking unit performance and trending data over time SERVICE TECHNICIANS Service managers can benefit from the convenience of the Technician Dashboard to manage and diagnose their Ventacity HRVs. The Smart Ventilation Management System benefits service technicians because it: Allows authorized users to adjust set points even when the technician is working remotely to provide enhanced service levels while reducing maintenance costs Sends equipment maintenance notifications Keeps a running history of all service performed on the unit HVAC CONTRACTORS HVAC contractors can set up and provide their building owner clients with contractor-branded portal, reports and alerts as a value added service, strengthening their relationship.

8 ULTRA-EFFICIENT HARDWARE Ventacity s family of HRVs, ranging from maximum capacity ventilation rates of 500 cfm to 3000 cfm, provide energy efficiency for lowered operating costs, while optimizing healthy indoor air quality for occupants. Ventacity s units make commercial buildings more comfortable, healthy and energy efficient. With electronically commutated motors (ECMs) and backward curving fan blades, Ventacity s HRVs reduce the power required for air movement while also reducing noise. The built-in economizer in Ventacity s units also brings in outside air at the temperature you want. Sensing a temperature differential between outside air and inside air, the HRVs direct the optimal portion of outdoor air through the heat exchanger core, while the rest goes directly into the building. This allows maximum use of cool outside air and reduces the cooling load of the building for further energy savings. VS1000 RT Efficient, Intelligent & Built to Last The VS1000 RT is the only UL, CSA and Passive House certified counterflow commercial heat recovery ventilator available in North America. It optimizes healthy indoor air quality while increasing energy efficiency.
