Smart Air Control Valves (SACV)

What is it?

The Distech Controls Smart Air Control Valve (SACV) replaces a traditional Variable Air Volume (VAV) box—delivering tighter airflow control, better accuracy, and a wider operating range.

Why it’s different: Up to a 100:1 turndown ratio with airflow measurement as low as 9 CFM.

Ready to install: The package ships assembled (pre-piped on reheat models) and includes a factory-fitted Distech ECLYPSE controller.

How does it work?

One box. Wide range. The SACV’s high turndown ratio lets you cover an entire project with a single box size—eliminating the need for multiple 4–12? VAV boxes.

Factory-ready: Each unit ships pre-programmed, tested, balanced, and packaged for immediate deployment.

Faster installs: Pre-assembled and calibrated terminal equipment reduces install time and simplifies system balancing—so projects get up and running faster.

What they’re saying

As a system integrator, you can cut costs dramatically by reducing time spent on mounting controllers, programming, commissioning, and air balancing.

With a turnkey solution, procurement is faster and simpler—no need to order boxes and controllers separately or manage extra programming steps.

Standardizing box sizes saves engineering time by allowing selection based on total project square footage instead of multiple airflow ranges.

Installations are faster, and pre-balanced systems significantly reduce overall system balancing time.

Using SACV in tracking pair and venturi valve applications delivers even greater value and long-term cost savings for your customers.

Bottom Line

Experience the game-changing performance of the Smart Air Control Valve with extraordinary turndown and pinpoint low-flow accuracy—far beyond what traditional VAV solutions can deliver.

Forget the complexity. SACV simplifies ordering, engineering, and design so your projects move faster with less friction.

Here’s the real advantage: SACV transforms HVAC design and operation with unmatched turndown, precise low-flow control, reduced noise, and improved energy efficiency—all while simplifying the overall ordering process.
