Improve Ventilation. Control Humidity. Save Energy. Altaire Systems' purpose is to protect and serve building owners and occupants by providing better humidity control while meeting outdoor air requirements and lowering total costs for chilled water HVAC systems. Advanced Dehumidification Airstream Pretreat Technology (ADAPT™) 1) ADAPT™ reduces risk of humidity control issues while supporting proper ventilation. Follows industry best practice for humid environments by decoupling ventilation load from building air return load while providing continuous dehumidification. 2) ADAPT™ reduces demand on the chilled water system with better dehumidification performance while utilizing waterside energy recovery to eliminate independent reheat to save energy and provide better building efficiency and resiliency. 3) ADAPT™ dehumidifies and conditions supply air before it is distributed throughout the building leading to better building health and comfort for occupants. 4) The ADAPT™ approach enables energy recovery without the need of additional systems which increase complexity and operations and maintenance costs. Altaire’s patented ADAPT™ products are configured to manage 100% of dehumidification loads, enabling the air handler to maintain optimal supply air temperature and providing sensible cooling only. Altaire’s products can be installed in any building type but have particular utility in industries where interior air quality, occupant health, comfort and productivity, and energy efficiency are of paramount concern, including healthcare, pharmaceutical, hospitality, commercial office, manufacturing, and education.
