Temperature regulation constitutes a large proportion of energy use in industrial and office spaces and how the ventilation is controlled affects energy consumption.
Another important task of the ventilation in industrial and office premises is to remove air pollutants and ensure that the air quality is good concerning these pollutants. This typically occurs by introducing outdoor air into the premises. This outdoor air must then be heated/cooled and possibly dehumidified before it can be directed into the spaces.
The project “Recirculate IT” will study how different buildings may manage energy consumption through innovative sensor-based control of ventilation systems. The project specifically aims to develop, demonstrate, and monitor energy-saving ventilation solutions. Read more on the main project site: https://www.sintef.no/prosjekter/2025/recirculate-it/
In this project, STAMI will evaluate how changes in ventilation with regard to energy efficiency affect the air quality for employees.
