Technical Insights
eFlow-CARs were installed in the building’s ventilation system, ensuring a consistent airflow of 25 CFM throughout the apartment exhaust systems. These Constant Airflow Regulators (CARs) are designed to automatically balance ventilation, ensuring no energy wastage or airflow disruptions. The regulators were customized to fit the building’s modern architecture, providing a seamless integration with the HVAC system for enhanced energy performance.
Key Benefits of Installing eFlow CARs
- Energy Efficiency: By maintaining a steady airflow, the eFlow-CARs prevent the HVAC system from working harder than needed, reducing energy consumption.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: The constant ventilation helps eliminate airborne contaminants and maintain clean indoor air, enhancing the living environment for residents.
- Enhanced Comfort: Balanced airflow throughout all units creates a more comfortable and pleasant environment for occupants.
- Sustainability: The energy savings from the regulated airflow contribute to the building’s long-term sustainability goals.
Conclusion
Encore at 325 Huguenot Street stands as a testament to innovative design and engineering. The use of eFlow-CARs demonstrates the impact of modern airflow technology in high-rise residential buildings, ensuring the highest standards of indoor air quality and energy efficiency. The project serves as a benchmark for similar urban housing developments.
