1. Demand controlled ventilation
2. Dedicated outdoor air systems—conditioning outdoor makeup air separately from indoor return air.
3. Displacement ventilation—uses a low velocity stream of fresh, cold air at floor level to displace stale air near the ceiling
4. Electronically commutated motors—variable-speed HVACR Blower
5. Energy recovery ventilation (ERV)—captures energy from exhausted air and uses it to precondition incoming makeup air.
6. Zero-degree heat pumps
7. Duct sealing
8. Adaptive logic control—adapting to HVACR systems with a wide range of operating states.
9. Desiccant dehumidification—absorbs moisture with a liquid desiccant solution and then evaporates it using heat.
10. Micro channel heat exchangers
11. Micro environments—create a virtual zone for occupant environmental control.
12. Thermal energy storage—provides cooling capacity by extracting heat from storage material, such as ice or chilled water.
13. Chilled beam cooling—uses natural convection and radiative heat transfer.
14. Adjustable speed drives (ASD) reducing motor speed to accommodate varying HVACR loads.
15. Variable flow volume (VFV) systems—are ductless systems with multiple compressors to provide part-load performance and zoned temperature control.
