Direct Digital Control (DDC) System "Flipping A Switch With A Mouse"



View Large Image

The Alliance switched from pneumatic (air pressure) temperature controls to computerized direct digital controls (DDC) to set heating and cooling levels. The DDC system allows us to customize the temperature and air-flow in zones throughout the building. The system monitors the internal climate of the building, which minimizes energy costs without sacrificing the comfort of tenants and visitors.
