(room or duct), pressure sensors (static or velocity), and humidity sensors (room,
duct, or outdoor).
airflow
Rate at which a volume of air moves through a duct. Usually expressed in cubic feet
per minute (cfm) or liters per second (lps).
algorithm
Mathematical formula that uses varying inputs to calculate an output value.
AVS
Air Velocity Sensor.
AZM
Autozero Module. Equipment controller device used to calibrate the Variable Air
Volume Controller's internal air velocity transducer without changing the volume of
air being delivered to a space.
centralized control
Type of control offered by a controller that is connected by means of Field Level
Network (FLN).
cfm
