HVAC Schedule Optimization

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.

HVAC Schedule Optimization

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.

HVAC Schedule Optimization

Occupancy‑Driven HVAC Scheduling

Uses access‑control data from the OnGuard® system to anticipate when spaces will be occupied and align HVAC operation with actual usage.

Adaptive Start Logic

Continuously evaluates day‑of‑week trends and adjusts optimal start times to ensure comfort for early arrivals without excessive preconditioning.

Reduced Energy Waste

Prevents HVAC systems from operating unnecessarily during unoccupied periods, lowering energy consumption and operating costs.

Anomaly Filtering for Reliable Performance

Automatically identifies and excludes unusual events such as holidays or atypical access patterns, preventing one‑off situations from distorting future schedules.

Native Integration with i‑Vu BAS

Operates as an add‑on within the i‑Vu Building Automation System.

OnGuard® Security System Connectivity

Uses access‑control data to inform HVAC scheduling decisions.

Automated Schedule Adjustment

HVAC schedules are adjusted automatically without manual intervention.

Supports Multi‑Zone & Multi‑Building Applications

Suitable for facilities with varied occupancy patterns across different areas or buildings.
