Optimizing the performance of a ventilation system maximizes its ability to provide the building's occupants with the intended amount of ventilation while using the least amount of energy necessary. Operators need to have reliable information on how much outdoor air for ventilation is being delivered by the ventilation system to achieve this high level of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system performance. After all, if the system is not monitored, how can anyone do a good job managing it?

There are many building systems that require energy. Improvement in one area, while reducing the total energy load, increases the percentage of the load used ...
