HVACUsing a ZigBee network, controllers allow electrical loads to “talk to each other” in a swarm
Each controller makes a decision every few minutes to ensure the most efficient use of energy
Controllers broadcast power readings to each other every 2 minutes
Controllers and monitored and adjusted via a web based portal
A Gateway provides 2-way Internet communications without the need to access the site’s IP network. Power readings and controller decisions are uploaded to the Server every 5 minutes.

• EnviroGrid “dials down” duty cycles
• Maintains occupant comfort better than t-stat setback
• Eliminates DR rebound
• Provides improved fault resilience over BAS
Using swarm logic for Demand Response provides peak reduction while minimizing impact on comfort
