Demand-Controlled Ventilation Guide

Demand-controlled ventilation reduces energy use by limiting ventilation airflow when maximum airflow is not needed, most commonly using carbon dioxide levels as a measurement of human occupancy to determine needed airflow. Alternatively, humidity levels can be used in spaces with significant moisture sources. Operable windows can also be opened and closed to provide demand-controlled ventilation.

demand-controlled ventilation A control approach to limiting ventilation airflow and

thereby reducing energy use when the maximum quantity of airflow is not needed.
It is most commonly applied on the basis of carbon dioxide as a surrogate
measurement of human occupancy but other quantities, such as the humidity in
spaces having significant moisture sources, can alternatively be used. It can also be
applied by simply opening and closing operable windows.
