Advanced Rooftop Unit Controls
For commercial buildings
Supply fan controls account for more than 80 percent of Advanced Rooftop Unit Control (ARC) retrofit energy savings. These retrofits can reduce fan speeds up to 40 percent during the first stage of heating and cooling, and up to 60 percent when no heating or cooling is needed.
