Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS): Improving Industrial Ventilation Efficiency

In industrial environments, ventilation is more than just a comfort issue—it’s a health and efficiency priority. Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS) are gaining popularity as a way to improve indoor air quality, reduce HVAC loads, and better manage humidity levels.

What is a DOAS?
A DOAS conditions 100% outside air separately from the main HVAC system. It delivers dehumidified, fresh air directly to occupied spaces while the main system focuses on heating and cooling.

Why It Works for Industrial Facilities:

  • Better Indoor Air Quality: Constant ventilation with filtered air.
  • Humidity Control: Independent dehumidification reduces mold risk.
  • Energy Savings: Allows main HVAC units to run smaller and more efficiently.
  • Flexibility: Works well with VRF, chilled beam, and other modern systems.

Best Applications:
Warehouses, production floors, and facilities where airborne contaminants are a concern.

Temple Tip: Pairing DOAS with a Building Automation System allows precise monitoring and zoning for maximum energy savings.
