Facility Management  

Optimal scheduling, including shorten HVAC schedule, wider zone temperature setpoint deadband, and optimal start/stop, can achieve significant energy savings with low implementation cost. In this session, the concepts, application, and design of optimal scheduling will be introduced, including different HVAC system control modes: warm-up, cooldown, setback, and setup. Factors impacting the optimal start recovery time will be discussed, and optimal start implementation examples will be given.

This presentation first introduces the Utility Monitoring and Control System (UMCS) concept and architecture, as well as UMCS Frond End and its components. Why and how to integrate field control systems (FCS) with an Open UMCS Front End will then be explained, followed by highlights of key requirements in UFC 3-470-01 and UFGS 25-10-10.
