A Make-Up Air Unit (MAU) is an HVAC system designed to introduce fresh, conditioned outdoor air into a building to replace air that has been exhausted by process fans or ventilation systems. This is especially important in environments where the removed air cannot be recirculated due to contamination or specific ventilation requirements. By supplying clean air at a controlled temperature and humidity level, MUAUs help stabilize indoor pressure, improve air quality, and support the health and comfort of building occupants.
The primary purpose of make-up air systems is to achieve and maintain optimal Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). In commercial and industrial settings—such as kitchens, laboratories, and manufacturing facilities—these systems are essential for removing airborne contaminants, regulating temperature, and maintaining pressure balance. Compared to conventional exhaust fans, MUAUs offer a more effective and energy-efficient solution for ensuring a safe and comfortable indoor environment, especially in buildings where ventilation demand is high.
At ZenVent Engineering, we provide Make Up Air Units (MAU) Service designed to deliver fresh, conditioned air to maintain optimal indoor air quality in industrial and commercial HVAC systems.

A Make-Up Air Unit (MAU) is an HVAC system component designed to introduce fresh outdoor air into a building to replace air that has been exhausted through process ventilation, exhaust fans, or other ventilation systems. It is especially critical in spaces where air cannot be re-circulated because of contamination, humidity, odors, or regulatory requirements.
If your building exhausts air (from kitchens, labs, process equipment) or has ventilation systems that remove air, you need makeup air to replace it. Without makeup air, you can have negative pressure, infiltration of unwanted air (dust, smells), poor air quality, discomfort, or HVAC inefficiency.
Exhaust fans simply remove indoor air; ventilation fans may move indoor air around. An MAU brings in fresh outdoor air and conditions it (filtering, heating or cooling, possibly humidity control), providing more controlled, healthy, and comfortable incoming air.
Sizing depends on the volume of exhaust (how much air is being removed), building usage, occupancy, outdoor air conditions, required indoor air quality, temperature & humidity setpoints, and code or regulatory requirements. Our team performs load and airflow calculations to determine correct capacity.
Yes. To improve efficiency and comfort, MAUs often include heating or cooling coils, possibly humidification or dehumidification stages, to condition outdoor air before it enters the building.
Ensure your facility has clean, conditioned, and fresh airflow with ZenVent Engineering’s MAU services. Whether it’s installation, repair, or regular maintenance, we have the expertise to deliver excellence.
