Airside Economizer

An airside economizer is a system used in HVAC to improve energy efficiency by leveraging cool outdoor air for indoor cooling instead of relying solely on mechanical air conditioning. When the outside air conditions (temperature and humidity) are favorable, typically during cooler weather, the economizer brings in fresh outdoor air and reduces or bypasses the use of the system’s compressor for cooling. This process can significantly reduce energy consumption. It’s commonly used in commercial buildings and data centers to maintain comfort or proper operating temperatures with reduced energy costs.
