Since 1982, Ross Dress for Less has focused on bringing customers a constant stream of high-quality department and specialty store brands at extraordinary savings. Their relaxed, fun and organized shopping experience is a hallmark of their brand. Another big part of their shopping experience is occupant comfort, so designing a system that provides comfort and efficiency stems from appropriately sized zones of control.

Accuspec created many small zones that provide exceptional levels of control, leading to outstanding occupant comfort. VAV diffusers are a cost-effective and practical way to provide this level of personalized control. Each VAV diffuser has an integrated thermostat and damper, allowing it to act as an individual VAV zone of control. The damper is continuously adjusted to vary the airflow volume (warm or cold) into the room in response to room temperature and setpoint.

Studies have shown that customer comfort and the time they are willing to spend in a changing room directly correlate to their purchase potential. Better comfort leads to improved sales.
