Model OAFE-1500 Outdoor Airflow Measurement System

To meet ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1 Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality and the energy efficiency requirements of the “green building movement”, Paragon Controls Inc. developed an AMCA certified outdoor airflow measurement system (Model OAFE-1500) that is capable of producing an overall ±0.5% accuracy through the velocity range of 200 to 1,200 fpm and ±5% accuracy at 100 fpm.

The airflow measurement system consists of multiple airflow elements, factory mounted and pre-piped in a casing designed for flanged connection to ductwork, control dampers, louvers, etc.  An optional inlet bell is available for plenum applications.  The integral signal processor utilizes current state-of-the-art digital microprocessor technology with unequaled 20-bit (1,048,576 steps) A/D and 12 bit (4,096 steps) D/A signal conversion resolution and has twelve-point linearization capability.  The OAFE-1500 is capable of providing full scale operating ranges as low as 800 fpm.  The signal processor accepts a temperature input signal for air density compensation for standard (scfm) or actual (acfm) airflow calculations. 

The OAFE-1500 can be used to fulfill Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)® Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) Credit 1: Outdoor Air Delivery Monitoring for 1 point.  EQ Credit 1 requirements state, “For each mechanical ventilation system serving non-densely occupied spaces, provide a direct outdoor airflow measurement device capable of measuring the minimum outdoor airflow rate with an accuracy of plus or minus 15% of the design minimum outdoor air rate, as defined by ASHRAE 62.1-2004.”  Because of the exceptional accuracy of the OAFE-1500 it can also be used to minimize the additional energy consumption associated with higher ventilation rates (30% above the minimum rates) on projects seeking to obtain 1 point for LEED® EQ Credit 2: Increased Ventilation and on projects seeking to obtain 1-10 points for LEED® Energy and Atmosphere (EA) Credit 1: Optimize Energy Performance.  In addition, the OAFE-1500 can be used to measure the required air volume (14,000 cu.ft. of outdoor air per sq. ft. of floor area) during building flush-out to obtain 1 point for LEED® EQ Credit 3.2: Construction IAQ Management Plan.
