Tour the SACV: A Quick Look with Steve Smitherman
Get the scoop from our BAS expert, Steve Smitherman, as he walks through the Distech
Smart Air Control Valve (SACV) from our Orlando location.
Whether you’re tackling a retrofit or new construction, this all-in-one airflow solution is worth a closer look.
Watch the video to see why SACV is becoming a go-to for smarter buildings.
Advanced Air Control Solution
Distech’s Smart Air Control Valve (SACV) is a highly accurate, fully dynamic,
pre-assembled air control solution with a 100:1 (typical) turndown ratio and airflow
measurement down to 9 CFM.
That extended low-flow performance means one SACV model can cover a wider range of applications
and occupancy conditions—supporting better efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality.
Disrupting a Market That Hasn’t Evolved in 40 Years
The SACV challenges the typical Variable Air Volume approach where multiple box sizes are required
to cover a building’s full range of airflow needs. With its high turndown ratio and accuracy at low CFM,
it performs where many traditional VAV solutions struggle.
Bottom line: Standardizing box models can simplify design and help HVAC systems operate efficiently across a much wider range of real-world conditions.
The Distech Controls Smart Air Control Valve (SACV) streamlines procurement and shortens lead times by reducing the steps needed to deliver a complete, fully installed, and balanced air control system.
