DDC Controls Provide Precision Control Of Your HVAC System And Reduced Energy Use

Direct Digital Control or “DDC Control” refers to the use of automation to control a process or condition with a digital device such as a computer. DDC controls are often used to control HVAC systems. These high-tech HVAC systems utilize microprocessors and computer software to control valves and other HVAC devices. Such systems have sensors installed throughout to receive information that is delivered to the control computer. The computer uses software to perform the control logic. According to that control logic, the computer provides analog or digital outputs that control the HVAC system devices. HVAC systems with DDC controls sometimes are sometimes packaged with special software that allows system operators to graphically monitor and control building equipment from a remote control center.

DDC controls offer many significant advantages including precision control, reduced energy use, and the ability to collect and store data about the HVAC system’s performance. Perhaps most importantly, DDC controls can help make people more comfortable. Although the cost of installation for a good DDC controls system is not insignificant, that cost is easily recouped through savings in utility bills as DDC controls can drastically reduce overall energy consumption.
