About

In 1996, while a research engineer at a research institute of the University of Central Florida (UCF), supported by contracts from the U.S. Department of Energy, Armin Rudd got his start in HVAC controls by patenting the methods embodied in the original FanRecycler™ (UCF is the patent owner). His field testing, conference presentations, publications and articles attracted the attention of leading homebuilding consultants, Building Science Corporation, who helped introduce the low-cost, effective, and energy-saving ventilation control to home builders across the nation.

More patents followed, and today the FanCycler™ fan cycling and outside air damper cycling control methods have been sub-licensed to major companies in the residential and light commercial HVAC arena (see the Products page). High-performance home programs (like MASCO’s Environments for Living™) and many national, regional, and local home builders have adopted these methods in ten’s of thousands of new and existing homes.

With the right to sub-license, ABT Systems, LLC (717.867.0123) is the exclusive licensee of the applicable patents owned by the University of Central Florida (US 5,547,017; 5,881,806; 6,431,268; CA 2,245,135).
