SmartStack helps facility and engineering teams capture exhaust fan assessment data for Measured Air Performance and ICO Vision review. Start with facility and contact information, then organize the site's fan sets. Record fan tags, nameplate details, quantity, total airflow, motor horsepower, fan speed, measured power, inlet static pressure and bypass damper information. Add notes and supporting files to keep the field evidence together. Prepare and save assessment drafts on your device. When connected, sign in to ICO Vision to submit an assessment, synchronize changes, and follow review feedback and available analysis results. Use SmartStack to: • Create and organize facility assessments. • Capture fan set identity, equipment details and operating measurements. • Record energy cost information and assessment notes. • Add photos and fan submittal documents. • Check required fields and numeric values before submission. • Synchronize assessments and send updates to ICO Vision. • Access review messages, feedback and analysis documents available to your account. Draft assessments can be prepared locally. An authorized ICO Vision account and an internet connection are required for submission, synchronization, messages and remote documents. Available services depend on your organization's access. SmartStack supports field data collection and engineering assessment workflows. Energy outcomes depend on site conditions and the subsequent engineering analysis.
