Indirect Evaporative Cooling for Office Buildings
Smart Cooling for Modern Workspace
In today’s fast-paced commercial world, office environments require more than just standard air conditioning. They need intelligent systems that deliver low-energy cooling for workspaces, enhance comfort, and improve indoor air quality—all while minimizing operational costs. This is where Indirect Evaporative Cooling(IEC) for offices by S Flo stands out.
S Flo’s IDEC systems for office buildings are engineered to deliver powerful, sustainable performance tailored to the needs of modern commercial spaces. Whether you manage a high-rise tower, a tech campus, or a co-working space, IDEC system offers a cost-effective cooling solution for buildings that supports productivity and wellness.
Why Office Buildings Need Indirect Evaporative Cooling?
Office spaces demand a smart balance of comfort, efficiency, and quiet operation. S Flo’s fresh air cooling systems for commercial buildings are designed to meet these demands with:
100% fresh outdoor air (no recirculated indoor air)
Stable indoor temperatures with no added humidity
Substantially lower energy consumption
Low-noise air conditioning for conference rooms and open-plan offices
Whether it’s a new commercial development or a retrofit project, S Flo delivers green building cooling systems that align with energy regulations and sustainability goals.
How S Flo’s IDEC System Works
S Flo’s IDEC systems use a two-stage air cooling solution without added humidity, ideal for electronics, documents, and human comfort.
Stage 1: Indirect Cooling via Eco-Ice™ Technology
- Outdoor air is divided into two streams.
- One stream is evaporative cooled and used to chill the other through a counter flow heat exchanger.
- The cooled primary air is supplied indoors—dry and comfortable.
Stage 2 (Optional): Enhanced Cooling
- Air can pass through Eco-Cool™ pads for additional temperature reduction during extreme heat.
This two-stage process ensures fresh air ventilation for offices, while consuming significantly less energy than traditional HVAC systems.
