No one does it better than Bard.

Today’s modular buildings are durable – made to last in a wide variety of environments. But that’s no longer the entire story. Whether modular buildings are designed for schools or businesses, buyers and end users expect style, innovation, efficiency and something else – comfort. Because, no matter how great a building looks, it doesn’t mean a thing if it’s not comfortable. That’s why you need Bard. Our wall-mount units do so much more than simply heat or cool a space. Bard HVAC units can be optimized with optional features that create a much more pleasant environment through Indoor Air Comfort (IAC).

IAC Components

Humidity Control
Optional dehumidification equipment offers a range of benefits to modular buildings, including protection from moisture issues such as mold and mildew and helps to maintain a fresh, new look and feel to modular buildings of any size.

Fresh Air Control
Fresh air ventilation, such as our Energy Recovery Ventilator, creates a more comfortable environment, allowing for positive pressurization of space, eliminating stale air by pre-cooling air in the summer and pre-heating air in the winter. It’s also essential to school buildings where federal regulations must be met.

Sound Reduction
Bard units are designed for quiet operation, especially our I-TEC and Q-TEC interior models. But, you can further reduce operational sound by adding optional equipment that diminishes sound created by vibrations and energy transfer through walls and return air openings.
