Microsoft Outlook‑based scheduling for smarter building operation
MS Scheduling allows WebCTRL® users to manage HVAC and lighting schedules directly through Microsoft Outlook, improving occupant comfort while reducing energy consumption through intelligent occupied and unoccupied control.
The MS scheduling add-on uses Microsoft® Exchange Web Services (EWS), to read Outlook room reservations from the Microsoft Exchange server. As Outlook room reservations are read from the Exchange server, they are written to the WebCTRL building automation system. They are then used to operate heating, cooling, and lighting systems in the room based on the desired schedule, promoting optimized comfort for occupants and energy savings for building managers.
Uses Microsoft Outlook calendars as the scheduling interface for building automation control.
Supports scheduling of HVAC and lighting systems based on room and space usage.
Schedules are translated into occupied and unoccupied operating modes within WebCTRL®.
Maintains temperature setpoint ranges during unoccupied periods to reduce energy consumption.
