Viconics Portable Classroom HVAC control solution

Problem:

Portable classrooms are outbuildings which are not connected to local area BMS system networks. This renders time of day scheduling useless and leaves the HVAC and lighting running 24hrs a day using costly energy and causing premature wear to HVAC equipment.

New Opportunity:

Wireless communicating networks, using reliable Zigbee (802.15.4) technology present a new opportunity for governments and school systems to connect these devices to existing BACnet BMS systems without running new communication wiring. This allows for time and event scheduling as well as equipment monitoring dramatically reducing energy and service costs.

Additional Savings:

Additional savings can also be had by applying passive motion detection to trigger HVAC and lighting services based upon actual occupant demand.

General Notes:

“Viconics wireless solution for portable classroom offers the comfort, reliability and redundancy of typical stand-alone thermostat operation.

Temporary loss of wireless connectivity will not degrade system operation or cause classroom to be uncomfortable.

However, wireless connectivity can be affected in some cases by portable classroom construction and the number of windows, their types and location.

Your authorized Viconics representative will be glad to assist with the review of the application, system architecture as well as a field survey using Viconics wireless field survey tool.”
