Eliminate HVAC Energy Waste with Intelligent Building Scheduling
Transform your building's energy efficiency by connecting external scheduling systems to BMS controllers. Only operate HVAC systems when spaces are actually occupied.
The Energy Challenge
HVAC systems are generally configured to function continuously during business hours. This results in significant energy loss when the space is not occupied.
As the world moves towards net zero and with rising energy costs, building owners and managers are looking for ways to reduce energy consumption without compromising occupant comfort.
Existing Solutions vs. Smart Scheduler
Traditional Live Schedule Integration
Pros:
- HVAC systems enabled only when space usage is scheduled
Cons:
- Compromises initial comfort for occupants
- Network interruptions cause disruptions
- Limited reliability and backup systems
