We will look at results from two Aircuity installations which are having a large impact on university labs! Aircuity also wishes a happy and healthy Thanksgiving holiday to our customers, partners and friends who celebrate.
Lafayette College Wins Positive Planet Award With Large Energy Reduction
The Rockwell Integrated Sciences Center at Lafayette College (Aircuity installation), designed by architecture firm Payette, has a predicted EUI of 76 kBtu/sf/yr with an impressive 56% reduction in energy use compared to the code baseline.
"The system, along with other conservation measures designed to enhance Aircuity’s effectiveness, has led to a 33% reduction in lab airflow. The project is now generating around $100,000 in recurring energy savings each year, and its success has led to to the expanded use of the technology at UBC and at other institutions in BC."

Want to phase out fossil fuels?
We must fundamentally change our buildings.
We at Aircuity agree that in order to meet carbon reduction goals and electrify buildings an "energy efficiency first" approach must be taken. '“Energy-efficient technology” might sound boring, but it is a powerful way for buildings to reduce energy needs especially during peak demand times. Healthy building tech, such as air quality sensors, can be used to deliver air only when and where it’s needed, rather than haphazardly dumping air into empty conference rooms.'
