Make-up air units provide cool or heated air to your building, replacing air that has been ventilated out along with old and stale air. They’re needed wherever large volumes of air are exhausted, supplying healthy air to the people who live, work and play indoors. By pulling fresh air from outside in, make-up air units improve indoor air quality — and where frequent ventilation is needed to protect the health and safety of occupants, they can be crucial. For many commercial buildings they’re more effective and energy-efficient than typical ventilation fans, and in industrial facilities such as factories, managers must ensure ventilation meets safety standards.1

What is positive air pressure, and why is it important?

Units can also provide positive air pressure. Positive air pressure occurs when the air pressure inside the building is greater than the outside, allowing air to flow out of the building.2 A lack of makeup air could increase a building’s heating and cooling costs, and potentially reduce the useful life of mechanical equipment. In restaurants, make-up air units can keep odors out of dining areas, prevent carbon monoxide buildup, and decrease the risk of back drafting.3
