The System
A natural ventilation system involves strategically placed windows, vents, and openings to allow fresh air to enter and stale air to exit, creating a healthy and comfortable indoor environment.
The Controllers The controllers interpret the monitored condition and position the windows or ventilation dampers accordingly.
The Sensors The sensors monitor the temperature and CO2 conditions in this space along with the external environmental conditions such as outside temperature and rain.
The Window Positioning Modules The window positioning modules allow the occupant to manually override the window or ventilation dampers open or closed.
As standard, the Natural Ventilation controllers from Titan Products are supplied with a number of input interlock options to override the temperature control and positioning of the windows/vents based on the environmental conditions inside and outside of the building. These include; fire & smoke, strong winds, rain, CO2 and low external temperature detection.
If any of the above conditions are present the controller can be set up to adjust the ventilation control accordingly. For example, if rain is detected the windows can be placed in a minimum position to allow fresh air into space without causing rain to enter the space.
Benefits of Natural Ventilation
Optimising ventilation and airflow: Proper ventilation is vital for healthy indoor environments. Sensors monitoring carbon dioxide (CO2) levels can signal when spaces are inadequately ventilated, prompting adjustments to improve airflow.
Enhancing productivity and well-being: Healthy indoor environments directly impact occupants’ productivity, cognitive function, and well-being. Our solutions contributes to creating spaces where occupants feel comfortable and focused, promoting productivity. Moreover, improved IAQ positively affects mental health, reducing stress levels and fostering a sense of well-being among occupants.
CCM-204/NV Controller
The CCM-204 Natural Ventilation controller provides accurate 0-10V controlled ventilation for up to 2 spaces and BACnet MS/TP communications as standard.
The intelligent control incorporates flexible window and damper positioning strategies based on the measured internal temperature and Co2 and external temperature conditions. An extract fan boost option to improve air movement through the space when the vents are fully open is also available to maximise natural ventilation performance.
NVC-1204 Controller
Providing up to 3 zones of natural ventilation control, the NVC-1204 controller provides accurate proportional positioning control of 24VDC driven window and ventilation drive chains with BMS connectivity via BACnet MS/TP communications.
The 3 zones of control can operate independently for individual zone control or be driven in unison for banks of windows or ventilation systems that require the same control positioning.
Flexible CO2 & Temperature monitoring
Whether looking to retrofit reliable wireless sensors, integrate networkable BACnet sensors, or connect 0-10V sensors directly to a controller or I/O device, the options available for control and/or monitoring sensors is truly flexible catering multiple install options.
All sensors benefit from the market leading feature set of the Gen 3 sensor range including modern & slimline aesthetics, anti-microbial plastics, intuitive CO2 HALO indications and ease of install.
Manual window override
ACO user interfaces can be connected directly to the controllers and allow for manual override of the automatic window control via the touch-sensitive buttons. The operating mode is shown clearly by LED indication.
It operates on 24V AC/DC and has an incorporated temperature sensor. It is housed in a Titan Products Gen 2 room enclosure or on a flush single-gang plate.
