AirTest Helps New Burbank Development Go Green

DELTA, BC, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - AirTest Technologies (TSXV: AAT)
is pleased to announce its LonWorks(R) communicating carbon monoxide and
carbon dioxide sensor/transmitters have been incorporated into a large, green
office development project called "The Pointe" located in the heart of the
entertainment industry in Burbank, California. The LEED silver development
includes a large four level parking garage and 14 floors of Class A office
space.
The Pointe is located in the former NBC/Universal main lot, set between Walt
Disney Company and Warner Bros Studio and incorporates AirTest technology from
top to bottom, to better manage energy use, indoor air quality and sustainable
operation of the building. According to Alan Slabodkin, the project manager
for the installing contractor, Western Allied Corporation, "We selected
AirTest products for this project because of the excellent support we have
received from AirTest personnel, and the high dependability we have
experienced with Airtest products used in our past projects."
The 1,000 space parking garage at the Pointe is designed to operate 24 hours
per day, and because it is enclosed, it utilizes 12 large fans for ventilation
of exhaust fumes. By incorporating the AirTest TR2000-Lon carbon monoxide
sensors along with variable speed drives on all the fans, the project was able
to significantly reduce operating costs of the ventilation fans. Without the
AirTest sensors to control ventilation based on the level of automobile
activity, it is estimated that it would use over 2.3 million kWh of
electricity annually costing over $322,000 to operate the 500 horsepower of
fans in the structure. Using AirTest sensors, electrical use is estimated to
be 90% less at about 230,000 kWh costing only $32,000 annually. According to
Slabodkin at Western Allied, "The AirTest sensors and associated controls
along with the variable speed drives provide an energy saving payback of well
under a year".
AirTest sensing technology is also used in the 197,000 square feet of office
space above the garage. Here the TR9294-Lon carbon dioxide sensors (CO(2)) are
used to control the fresh air ventilation system on each floor. AirTest's
self-calibrating CO(2) sensors save energy in buildings by regulating outside
air ventilation based on the actual number of people in a space. This ensures
that only enough outside air is heated or cooled to meet the immediate needs
of occupants. Much of the demand for this type of sensor is driven by the
growing interest in making buildings energy efficient, an important
contribution to the creation of green and sustainable buildings. CO2
sensor-based ventilation control can represent a simple but highly effective
way for almost all buildings to reduce energy use while ensuring good indoor
air quality for occupants.
According to George Graham President of AirTest "In new projects like the
Pointe, payback on energy savings with CO(2) sensors will occur within a few
months, and the building owner is able to secure additional LEED related
points to meet their Certification level from the US Green Building Council."
Graham added "As concern about energy savings and sustainable operations
increase, we expect to see in the not too distant future, that carbon dioxide
sensors will become as common as thermostats in most new and existing
buildings."
