Hi Innovative Energy Efficient Industrial Ventilation!.

This paper was written to describe an innovative “on-demand” industrial ventilation 

system for woodworking, metalworking, food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical, 

and other industries. Having analyzed existing industrial ventilation in 130 factories, 

we found striking dichotomy between the classical “static” design of ventilation 

systems and constantly changing workflow and business demands. Using data from 

real factories, we are able to prove that classical industrial ventilation design 

consumes 70 % more energy than necessary. Total potential electricity saving 

achieved by using on-demand systems instead of classically designed industrial 

ventilation in the U.S. could be 26 billion kWh. At the average electricity cost of 7 

cents per kWh, this would represent $1.875 billion. Eighty such systems are already 

installed in the USA and European Union.
