Benefits:
- Possibility of individual room control
- Increased staff productivity
- Effective monitoring and targeting energy consumption
- Improved plant reliability and life span
- Effective response to HVAC-related complaints
- Save time and money during maintenance
- Occupancy sensors allowing automatic setback override during unoccupied periods as well as adaptive occupancy scheduling
- Lighting controls reducing unnecessary artificial lighting via motion sensors and schedules as well as by controlling daylight harvesting louvers
- Controllers saving water and energy by controlling rainwater harvesting and landscape irrigation
