1. How can DCV help your bottom line?
Offer added-value benefits to your tenants. DCV technology offers an energy-efficient solution that will save your tenants money while protecting the environment for future generations. DCV sensors can produce 30% to 80% in energy savings while providing increased comfort.
- Save money on cooling and heating bills. DCV buildings have lower operation costs, and often mean less operating time. This means less cost to keep the system operating efficiently and effectively.
- Gain a marketing advantage. Buildings equipped with DCV technology can potentially increase the building resale value. It can also make the building more attractive to prospective tenants and future buyers because it operates more efficiently at lower cost.
2. How does DCV help the environment?
- Saves money and energy. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, about $40 billion is spent annually to air condition buildings-- that is one-sixth of all electricity generated in a year. Energy is typically the largest operating expense for commercial buildings. DCV technology helps reduce those costs by cooling and heating based on the actual needs of the building's occupied spaces.
- Decreases pollution in urban areas. Reduced energy demand means less burning of fossil fuels, which results in less pollution from power plants. Less pollution means cleaner air and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

When ventilation rates are controlled, your tenants are more comfortable and more productive. By improving indoor air quality (IAQ), you enjoy:
- Increased energy savings
- Avoided liability
- Improved building performance
- Satisfied tenants
