Smarter HVAC schedules driven by real building occupancy
The HVAC Schedule Optimization add‑on uses live and historical occupancy data from an OnGuard® security system to automatically optimize HVAC schedules—reducing energy use while maintaining occupant comfort.
The i‑Vu® HVAC Schedule Optimization add‑on (ADD‑OG‑AOS) is part of the OnGuard® Integration Add‑On suite, enabling close coordination between the i‑Vu Building Automation System and an OnGuard® security system. By leveraging access‑control data, the add‑on predicts when spaces are actually occupied and adjusts HVAC operation accordingly.
Instead of relying on static time schedules, the system dynamically adapts start and stop times based on real usage patterns, helping facilities reduce unnecessary HVAC runtime, improve energy efficiency, and maintain consistent comfort across changing occupancy conditions.
Operates as an add‑on within the i‑Vu Building Automation System.
Uses access‑control data to inform HVAC scheduling decisions.
HVAC schedules are adjusted automatically without manual intervention.
Suitable for facilities with varied occupancy patterns across different areas or buildings.
It automatically optimizes HVAC schedules by using real occupancy data from an OnGuard® security system instead of fixed time schedules.
It analyzes historical and current access‑control data from the OnGuard® system to predict usage patterns.
By avoiding HVAC operation during unoccupied periods and minimizing unnecessary preconditioning.
Yes. Adaptive start logic ensures spaces reach comfort conditions in time for expected occupancy.
