Take HVAC projects to the next level with Advanced Rooftop Unit Controls

Advanced Rooftop Unit Controls (ARC) in a nutshell

Unlock better HVAC performance and greater energy savings for your customers with ARC, a retrofit solution that modernizes an existing rooftop unit (RTU). Traditional RTUs with constant speed fans waste energy, especially when demand is low. By automatically adjusting fan speed and monitoring building needs in real time, ARC provides measurable savings and enhanced comfort for your customers.

The components of ARC

Unit control – acts as the digital brain of the unit.
Supply fan VFD or multi-speed fan motor – adjusts the speed of the fan as needed, rather than running at a constant speed (100%).
CO₂ or occupancy-based sensor – detects building occupancy with CO₂ sensors and automatically adjusts ventilation rates, minimizing unnecessary fan operation.
Digitally controlled economizer – brings in the fresh air from outside to help cool your space naturally and reduce the load on the cooling system.
