Inadequate Outdoor Air (OA) intake can cause negative building pressure, allowing unconditioned air to seep in through gaps. In humid climates, this can lead to moisture accumulation and mold growth within walls. Even in dry climates, unconditioned air can introduce dust and particles, further harming IAQ. GreenTrol advanced airflow controllers eliminate the risk of negative pressure by ensuring an accurate amount of OA is brought into the building. This prevents moisture buildup and keeps IAQ optimal regardless of climate.
Without sufficient fresh air, IAQ deteriorates, causing occupant health issues, such as Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), which is a Symptom of irritations or discomfort that is resolved upon leaving the building. Building-Related Illness (BRI) is a serious illness caused by poor air quality, with symptoms persisting even after leaving. GreenTrols airflow measurement systems ensure compliance with ventilation requirements, delivering fresh air to prevent SBS and BRI while enhancing occupant well-being.
Improper pressurization creates risks such as negative pressure, which makes doors more challenging to open or close, even creating safety hazards in some instances. Positive pressure can cause doors and windows to fail, leading to damage and potential injuries. GreenTrol solutions can help achieve dynamically balanced building pressure, protecting the structure, preventing energy loss, and ensuring occupant safety.
