General Dynamics Armament Systems was looking for a way to improve the performance of the ventilation system in their Lakeside Avenue industrial plant in Burlington, Vermont. By utilising adjustable speed drives (ASDs) and making other modifications to the system, they were able to improve the plant's overall operating efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the work environment and worker health and safety. This Motor Challenge Showcase Demonstration Project has resulted in annual savings of more than USD 68, 000, with a payback of just under one and a half years.

Canada's Space Centre in St Hubert, Quebec, is a new 27,870 m2 complex which was awarded first place in the ASHRAE Technology Awards (1996) for new commercial buildings. A dual duct ventilation system was installed to provide a comfortable and pleasant research environment. Dual duct systems, which are the heart of the mechanical concept, provide high indoor-air quality, along with design flexibility, energy efficiency and low capital costs.
