1. Our Approach to HVAC Controls
Every HVAC application presents different challenges.
Some require advanced heat recovery strategies.
Others demand strict environmental control for healthcare.
Some focus on smoke ventilation and life safety.
Others prioritise room-level comfort or energy optimisation.
Rather than developing separate systems for every project, iACS has built a family of intelligent control platforms designed around real-world HVAC applications.
This approach delivers:
- Simplified engineering
- Faster production
- Reduced commissioning time
- Consistent software
- Easier maintenance
- Improved remote diagnostics
2. HVAC Applications We Support
Air Handling Units (AHUs)
Air Handling Units remain the foundation of modern commercial HVAC systems.
Our AHU control solutions support:
- Supply and extract AHUs
- Fresh air systems
- Mixed air systems
- Heat recovery AHUs
- Hygienic AHUs
- Healthcare AHUs
- High-efficiency ventilation systems
Using our iX platform, AHUs benefit from intelligent temperature control, airflow optimisation, humidity management, energy recovery and seamless Building Management System integration.
Heat Recovery Units (HRUs)
Energy efficiency is becoming one of the biggest priorities in building design.
Our MV-X platform has been developed specifically for:
- Plate heat exchangers
- Thermal wheels
- Run-around coils
- Mechanical ventilation
- Demand-controlled ventilation
The platform continuously manages airflow, frost protection, bypass control and heat recovery optimisation while simplifying commissioning and improving long-term system performance.
Fan Coil Units (FCUs)
Our Fan Coil Unit platform delivers intelligent room-level control for:
- Commercial buildings
- Hotels
- Healthcare
- Education
- Residential developments
Supporting EC fans, multi-speed fans, heating and cooling valves, occupancy strategies and BMS integration, the solution provides consistent comfort while reducing energy consumption.
Smoke Extract Systems
Life safety applications demand a different level of engineering.
Our ES-X platform has been developed specifically for:
- Smoke extraction
- Smoke ventilation
- Stairwell pressurisation
- Corridor ventilation
- Environmental ventilation
- Multi-zone smoke control
By integrating with fire alarm systems and Building Management Systems, ES-X provides intelligent smoke management while simplifying commissioning and improving operational visibility.
HVAC Retrofit Solutions
Replacing an entire HVAC system isn't always necessary.
Our retrofit solutions modernise existing HVAC infrastructure by replacing outdated controls with intelligent platforms that improve:
- Energy efficiency
- Connectivity
- Reliability
- Remote monitoring
- Long-term maintainability
From AHUs and heat recovery systems to smoke ventilation and specialist environments, every retrofit is tailored around the building's operational requirements.
