Make-up air units (MUAU) installed in your Raleigh business help to provide cool or heated air to your building. An air make-up unit then replaces air that has been ventilated out, as well as old and stale air. Make-up air units are needed where large volumes of air are being exhausted. MUAU supply healthy air to people indoors where they live, work, and play.
By pulling fresh air from the outside to the inside of your building, make-up air units improve indoor air quality. For buildings where frequent ventilation is needed to ensure the health and safety of occupants, make-up air units can be crucial.
For many commercial buildings, make-up air units can be more effective and energy-efficient than typical ventilation fans. In industrial facilities such as warehouses and factories, shop managers must take care to ensure that the ventilation meets safety standards, and having an air makeup unit helps do just that.
Make-up Air Unit Applications Include:
Multi-Residential Buildings
Hospitals
Manufacturing Facilities
Restaurants
Office Buildings
Shopping Centers
Air Makeup Units FAQ: What’s positive air pressure, and why is it important?
Make-up Air units also provide positive air pressure which occurs when the air pressure inside the building is greater than the outside, allowing air to flow out of the building.
Without an MUAU it may increase a Raleigh building’s heating and cooling costs. This could potentially reduce the useful life of mechanical equipment. In restaurants, make-up air units help to keep cooking odors out of dining areas. An MUAU also prevent carbon monoxide buildup and decreases the risk of back drafting.
