What is a Make-Up Air Unit? A make-up air unit is engineered to "replace" the air in your indoor environment that has been extracted by process exhaust fans. This HVAC solution introduces fresh, conditioned air from outside your building to substitute the air that cannot be recirculated. Implementing a make-up air system is advisable for buildings where environmental factors require enhanced ventilation, not only to improve indoor air quality but also to safeguard the health of occupants.
Usage Achieving optimal Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is the primary reason for implementing make-up air units. From eliminating airborne contaminants to maintaining a comfortable temperature, there are numerous strategies to enhance IAQ. In most industrial and commercial settings, make-up air solutions prove to be significantly more effective than standard ventilation fans in achieving an IAQ that enhances both safety and comfort for occupants, all while maintaining energy efficiency.
