Integrating HVAC Air Curtains into Your Building Ventilation Strategy

In high-performance buildings, ventilation isn’t just about ductwork—it’s about how air moves when people move. That’s where the HVAC air curtain plays a critical role.

Unlike stand-alone air curtains, HVAC-compatible models work as part of the overall climate control and ventilation strategy, reducing the load on heating and cooling systems while improving indoor air quality.

Why Integrate Air Curtains with HVAC Systems?

When installed at entrances, air curtains serve as dynamic air seals. They prevent:

• Outdoor air intrusion during door openings

• Heat or cold loss from conditioned interior zones

• Dust and pollutant entry in clean environments

• Pressure imbalances between HVAC zones

By synchronizing air curtain operation with HVAC schedules and door sensors, buildings can achieve smarter energy use and consistent thermal control—especially in LEED-compliant or smart building designs.

Where HVAC Air Curtains Deliver the Most Value

These systems are widely used in:

• Airlock-style entries in shopping malls or airports

• HVAC-zoned office lobbies and mixed-use towers

• Medical centers requiring air isolation between zones

• Cold room or freezer warehouses with ventilation needs

• Hospitality buildings where comfort and energy matter

Paired with air handlers, VAV boxes, or ERV units, Aosair HVAC air curtains act as first-line defense at the building envelope.

Aosair’s HVAC-Ready Features

What makes an air curtain “HVAC compatible”?
Aosair’s engineered units include:

• Low-voltage control integration ports

• Relay/trigger-ready for BMS (Building Management Systems)

• Optional EC motors for energy efficiency and variable speed

• Multi-speed modes for zone-specific airflow demands

• Support for PTC heaters or no-heating variants

• Custom-length modules to match doorway architecture

Whether you’re a ventilation system designer, general contractor, or facility operator, we provide system-matching consultation and OEM support.

Use Case: Entry Airflow Coordination in Mixed-Use Towers

In high-rise mixed-use buildings, lobby doors often open directly to the outdoors. Without an air curtain, HVAC systems work overtime to keep the lobby stable.

By installing an Aosair HVAC air curtain, the building:

• Cuts entry-based thermal loss by up to 30%

• Reduces drafts near reception or retail zones

• Maintains indoor pressure balance with rooftop or ducted systems

• Enhances comfort without redesigning ductwork

This integration supports both air quality goals and energy performance metrics.

Why Engineers Trust Aosair

Aosair supports B2B clients with:

• Detailed tech sheets and CAD diagrams

• OEM project support for system integrators

• CE/ISO-certified components

• Export packaging and voltage flexibility

• Multilingual team for design-stage collaboration

We’ve worked with building ventilation planners across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe to deliver door-level airflow control systems that sync perfectly with centralized HVAC.
