MIXED-USE BUILDING
FAN APPLICATION GUIDE
FIND A FAN
Mixed-use buildings (MUBs) combine residential living with shopping, entertainment, and dining to provide a convenient planned community. MUBs are generally classified into two categories: low rise and high rise. Three stories and below are considered low rise while four stories and above are considered high rise. MUBs need HVAC systems that can address both their residential and commercial comfort and ventilation needs.
All buildings share similar ventilation needs: maximize energy efficiency and provide fresh air for occupants. As buildings become tighter, they can seal in pollutants if not properly ventilated. Indoor air quality refers to the quality of the air within buildings, as it relates to the health and comfort of the occupants. Poor indoor air quality can pose health risks to occupants and cause structural damage to buildings.
Mixed-use developments often include multifamily housing as a key component. A multifamily property is a building or complex that contains two or more separate living units within it. These units are designed for different households and typically include their own kitchens and bathrooms. Examples of multifamily include apartment complexes, townhouses, and condominiums.
These buildings are designed to accommodate numerous families, providing shared amenities like fitness centers, laundry rooms, and club houses. Because of the high volume of occupants, healthy ventilation is critical in multifamily environments. TRLPe110 energy recovery ventilator or PCD110XP fan can help provide the outside air needed to support healthier indoor environments for residents and visitors alike.
Hotels and resorts offer a variety of amenities and services. These include pools, restaurants, gyms, meeting rooms, parking garages, laundry facilities, and the guest rooms themselves. With a multitude of transient occupants in these diverse spaces, these buildings require ample airflow to create a healthy atmosphere.
S&P Canada Ventilation Products offers a comprehensive range of ventilation solutions, including the STXD commercial ventilation fans and residential TD Inline fans, designed to maximize the airflow performance.
Assisted living and nursing home residences are homes to our family members, friends, and loved ones. Poor indoor air quality can expose them to allergens, pollutants, and toxins that weaken their body's natural defenses. Seniors are the most vulnerable demographic to fall to illness.
Increasing airflow indoors is associated with better health, faster recovery times, and reduced viral spread. Fans like the reFresh series with its built-in filtration system and the PCLPD100XHP which utilizes AUTOFLO™ Technology to increase efficiency and lower energy costs are perfect for this type of application.
