March 7, 2014: Demand Response Feature Added to HVAC Rooftop Unit Optimizer
Accepts Demand Response Load Limit Factor Signal from Any Third Party’s Demand Response Controller
OMAHA, Neb. — Bes-Tech Inc. has announced a demand response option for its Digi-RTU™ HVAC rooftop unit optimization technology. The new feature accepts the demand response load limit factor signal from any third party’s demand response controller.
The Digi-RTU is an aftermarket control package designed to optimize rooftop units, matching space load with the rooftop unit’s output. The company said the Digi-RTU supports load limiting from 0 to 100 percent by modulating the speed of the rooftop unit’s compressor(s) and supply fan.
