Environmental Control System functionality centers on creating and maintaining a safe, comfortable cabin environment by regulating how the cabin is pressurized, how the air is cooled or heated, and how the air is cleaned and refreshed. On the 787, this system is powered electrically and uses air-cycle machines to condition cabin air, with outflow valves and automated controls to maintain the desired cabin pressure and differential pressure, while keeping temperature within comfortable limits and ensuring good air quality through filtration and ventilation. That combination—cabin pressurization, temperature control, and air quality management—is exactly what the ECS is designed to do. The other functions listed belong to propulsion, flight control, or landing gear systems, not environmental control.
