Without delving into confusing
terminology or technical jargon, this brief description of CCN's
operation is provided to assist readers in understanding the basics
of how CCN works.
The key to building-wide HVAC
performance is delivery of conditioned air to specific areas where
it is needed. This is the responsibility of the HVAC control system. In
years past, individual thermostats located in various areas of your
building would "call" for cooling or heating which would be followed
by a flood of air until the thermostat is "satisfied". This method
will keep the immediate area around the thermostat at the perfect
temperature. If the office down the hallway does not have it's own
thermostat, it then has a problem. Hot spots and cold spots can't be
controlled because the climate control system does not know about
the varied condition down the hall. Adding more thermostats won't
help because each separate space has it's own unique temperature
requirements which are not tied to nearby rooms. For instance, one
room with a big window always feels hot because of the sun's heat
while a nearby room is comfortable. If your thermostat is "calling"
for more cooling in the "big window" room the other room will start
to get too cold. This is where ZONING comes into play. HVAC zone controls allow
your HVAC equipment to send heating or cooling exactly to where it
is needed. This will put an end to inconsistent temperatures in
different areas of the building. CCN will deliver consistent comfort
to multiple "zones" and continually adjust for changing occupancy
conditions. CCN uses intelligent controls built right into the
equipment to report changing requirements and meet them by "pulling"
comfort into the space. This type of control system can be applied
to multi story buildings or something as small as a house. It also
monitors and controls humidity, C02 among other environmental
concerns.
In the simplest terms, CCN
utilizes sensors located in the equipment and in the rooms to create
an information network. With the network in place, the system can
police itself in terms of performance, efficiency and operational
reliability. If there is a problem we will be notified immediately
via the network (up to 100 users can be notified). Not only will
there be notification, it will be smart notification. System sensors
do more than indicate a problem, they can indicate the exact nature
of the problem and provide a means for instant repair over the
internet or your phone system. Computer integrated facility management means one less emergency service call to pay for! If a
service call is required the CCN provided information will
profoundly assist the repair tech in solving the problem quickly and
at low cost. CCN gives your equipment the ability to talk! What will
your equipment say when CCN is installed? We think it will say
"Thank You".
