Quest Controls Lead/lag Controllers: Optimizing HVAC Efficiency in Remote Facilities

In today's interconnected world, remote facilities play a critical role in maintaining our digital infrastructure. These facilities often house sensitive equipment that requires precise environmental control to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Quest Controls Lead/Lag Controllers offer a smart solution to optimize HVAC operation and reduce energy consumption in these remote locations.

Understanding Lead/Lag Control

Lead/Lag control is a common HVAC strategy used to improve energy efficiency, distribute wear and tear on HVAC equipment and maintain consistent temperature control in facilities with multiple HVAC units. In a lead/lag system, one unit (the lead unit) operates continuously to maintain a stable temperature, while the other unit (the lag unit) cycles on and off as needed to assist in temperature regulation. This approach reduces energy consumption by minimizing the total operating time of the HVAC units.
