Climate control systems such as heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems ensure that buildings provide a comfortable and productive internal environment for occupants. The buildings sector accounts for around20% of energy consumptionworldwide and the majority of this will be used by climate control systems.
Industry research has also illustrated significant, so-called, ‘performance gaps’ between the estimated energy consumption at design stage and the actual energy consumption which was recorded in use.
Accurate control of these systems including hot water is vital to ensure that this energy consumption is minimised. The atBOS Climate Control app is appropriate for any scale of building, and includescontrol hardware and software.
Suitable for both residential and commercial properties
Can be installed in new or retrofit projects
Can control any HVAC component and communicate with industry standard protocols
Self monitoring system ensures that climate control systems operate as intended.
SIMPLE
- The atBOS family of devices is small but highly adaptable so design is straightforward.
- Wireless communication leads to significant reduction in structured cabling for a building
- Mesh devices only require power so installation is simple by any certified electrician
- Realtime data and alerts to support maintenance teams
- Easy to use User Interface with different controls depending on user, ie occupant, facilities manager, building manager
HOLISTIC
- Single technology platform for all building functionality
- Different service functions share common infrastructure simplifying the installation
- Data from sensors and devices can be shared across functions to improve performance, for example, activating an entry control door can start preconditioning a bedroom
- Incorporate any 3rd party HVAC component
- All elements on the building visible on common ‘Single Pane of Glass’ (SPOG) User Interface
AFFORDABLE
- Accurate control leads to reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills
- Low first cost due to wireless nature of devices simplifying the installation and reduced commissioning period
- Advanced control can allow simpler HVAC systems to be used leading to further capital savings
- Small footprint wireless devices means system is easily retrofittable to existing buildings
- Data gathered by platform can be used to create value through improving building management
Examples of Climate control
atBOS uses a range of pre-programmed strategies to control climate control systems in a building. These range from simple zone based thermostatic controls to advanced Machine Learning (ML). They are used depending on the requirements of the building owners and occupants as well as the systems being controlled.
Examples include:
Simple thermostatic time based control
Occupancy based control - using PIR/ CO2 and other sensors to control HVAC based on occupancy
Demand based ventilation according to indoor air quality
Interfaces to manufacturers proprietary controllers
Variable temperature and/or flow hydronic systems
System interlocks that connect disparate HVAC systems together to improve energy efficiency eg preventing air conditioning use when windows are open, or closing shades on warm day when spaces are unoccupied
Machine learning based pre-heat or pre-cool
Machine learning based optimisers.
Climate Control Interoperability
atBOS can interface with the majority of common climate control devices using a combination of the following methods:
Digital input/output
Simple relay control
Analogue input and output
Wireless mesh communication
Industry standard protocols such as Modbus.
DOOR ENTRY CONTROL
Improve the peace of mind of occupants and protect assets
