One of the key drivers behind the rising demand for energy-efficient technologies lies in the ever-expanding regulatory standards aimed at enhancing building energy efficiency, such as California’s Title 24 Building Code.
Among many other things, the code has stringent requirements for HVAC systems, mandating the use of fans that can operate at multiple speeds. This allows systems to adjust their output based on actual need, rather than running at full capacity continuously.
This regulation is stricter than most, but reflects a broader shift towards energy conservation.
