Ensure healthy indoor environments​

Breathe easier.

It's important that a building’s mechanical systems are properly maintained with consideration to ventilation, airflow, and humidity, to ensure healthy and productive indoor environments. Monitoring air quality in real time and using reliable technology to ventilate buildings efficiently creates a safe environment to live and work during a pandemic and beyond. ​ Eliminate or minimize indoor air re-circulation and maximize fresh outdoor air to the extent possible.

Climatix RT manages fresh air levels based on a variety of needs.

Automatic indoor air quality maintenance​

Enhance indoor air quality via demand-controlled ventilation by monitoring carbon dioxide levels and increasing fresh air inside when it gets too high. 

 

Fresh air purge to boost outside air − inside​

Enable maximum fresh air intake into buildings without using mixed or return air. This application was designed in response to COVID-19 to improve ventilation and reduce air contamination and adhere to ASHRAE 62.1 guidelines. All buildings are not the same, which is why you get the flexibility to initiate a purge on your terms. ​

 

Title 24-compliant economization​

Climatix RT has a built-in economizer that eliminates the extra costs of a separate controller to manage fresh air intake to reduce or eliminate mechanical cooling during ideal temperature conditions. 

Case Study

Creating a safer, fun experience at Bull Valley Golf Club with the Climatix RTU Solution

Mark Stranges from Rabine Mechanical says that the Climatix RTU solution is ideal for building owners and customers who have packaged rooftop units and need better insights and control with a cloud-based solution. And for contractors: “The long-term benefit for us is the ability to expand our reach to customers nationally that we’d never been able to service before and to do so in a way that’s repeatable and scalable.” Rabine Mechanical isn’t the only business that can credit the Climatix RTU Solution with creating growth opportunities. Bull Valley grew their membership by 100% in 2020, due in part to the peace of mind afforded by the Climatix fresh air purge functionality.
