Personal Environmental Control System (PECS) with the functions of heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and acoustic has the advantage of controlling the localised environment at the occupant’s workstation by their preference instead of conditioning an entire room. This substantially improves personal comfort, health and energy efficiency of the entire heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. Personalised ventilation will also provide improved protection against cross contaminations, critical in open-plan offices and workplaces with close distance. The application is for workplaces with mainly sedentary activities like offices (open plans, banks, control centres, etc.).

As a part of the IEA EBC Annex 87 on Personalized Environmental Control Systems, this webinar presents field applications of PECS with a global perspective and discusses its benefits and limitations in buildings.

This webinar is organised by the IEA-EBC Annex 87, the Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre & venticool and facilitated by INIVE.
