Make-up hair is an important addition to an HVAC system – although it should be present from day 1. Make-up air refers to the fresh air that returns into the building to replace the air that gets pushed outdoors. The balance between air in and air out is extremely important for maintaining indoor air quality as well as ensuring that your HVAC system is running smoothly.

When the HVAC system exhausts air, it creates negative pressure within the building. This can cause a variety of problems, including drafty rooms, difficulty in opening and closing doors, and increased energy costs. Make-up air helps to balance out this negative pressure by introducing fresh air into the building. This helps to keep the indoor air quality at an optimal level and reduces the strain on the HVAC system.

Make-up air also plays an important role in fire safety. In the event of a fire, the HVAC system can serve as a source of fresh air for fire suppression systems and emergency personnel. By introducing make-up air, the HVAC system can ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air to support these systems, reducing the risk of fire spread and ensuring that the building remains safe.

When designing an HVAC system, it is important to consider the size of the building and the type of activities that will take place within it. This information will help to determine the amount of make-up air that is needed and the size of the HVAC system required to accommodate it. In addition, it is important to choose high-quality, energy-efficient components that are designed to work together to provide optimal performance.
