75F Outside Air Optimization KitRooftop-unit economizer

The Outside Air Optimization (OAO) Kit uses the power of cloud-based predictive analytics to create thermal models of a building based on the past 7 days of temperature and humidity space readings. Live data feeds forecasted weather conditions and predicts the needs for proactive runtime and damper-position optimization. The kit meets and exceeds California Title 24-2013 economizer faults and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016. This solution does not require retrofitting the constant-volume RTU and a variable frequency drive. Key features include demand-control ventilation, comparative-enthalpy economizer control, multispeed fan control, and 24/7 remote monitoring and control.
