AET Flexible Space underfloor air conditioning systems offer fully functional indoor environmental control; with integrated controllers available for all units and full connectivity with house BMS using the latest flexvisor monitoring software. Underfloor systems are commonly used in office environments, utilising the plenum beneath a raised floor as the ventilation zone. Fully conditioned air is fed into the plenum by zonal downflow units (CAM), and then supplied into the workspace via fan terminal units (fantile).

Fantiles have integrated fatronic controllers allowing users local adjustment of temperature and fan speed to suit personal comfort. Local adjustment of CAM units by service and maintenance engineers is easy accessed via the flexmatic display mounted on the unit face. Systems can be now be configured with full connectivity using the latest flexvisor software, allowing remote adjustment and monitoring. FM’s can use the flexvisor system to monitor usage and consequently streamline operational efficiency and provides a user friendly and cost effective solution to keeping the BMS updated.

It is interesting to note that when users are free to choose their environmental temperature they often choose higher temperatures than engineers design for; as a result considerable savings in operational energy can be made. A rise in setpoint temperature of 1oC will often reduce energy by as much as 10%. The FM can observe that users are selecting higher setpoints and can re-set the zone units accordingly, enabling fully functional control.
