Energy Management System |
 |
Description and Purpose
Energy management systems ensure wise energy
conservation practices, and save costs related to facility heating and air
conditioning.
There are two ways to integrate with an
energy management system:
Central EMS, and Distributed EMS. |
Figure 1: Creating an Energy Management System |
This document discusses integrating the
intrusion system, or
remote control system with a new or existing thermostat or a
distributed Energy Management System to further enhance its capabilities
and to dramatically increase energy savings. Capabilities and
configuration depend on the
control panel you choose.
The VISTA-ICM and Energy-ICM modules work
together through a LAN connection to save energy. Users can access the
“http://honeywell” page on a any PC that is locally-connected to the LAN.
A page appears allowing users to set temperature ranges for armed and
disarmed status changes, along with other energy-saving functions.
The Energy-ICM uses a distributed energy
management concept, with thermostats assigned to designated areas for the
manipulation of all HVAC and Heater fans, ducts, or other environmental
appliances. Thermostat cables route from the thermostat to control
individual rooms or departments within the facility, and connect to fans,
duct dampers, or HVAC appliances. Usually, each thermostat connects to its
own associated Heat or Air conditioning appliance.
By routing a ECP bus to the location of the
thermostat, you can use the intrusion system to provide the room’s armed
status and deliver their status to the thermostat.
By Integrating the VISTA Control Panel from
the intrusion detection system to the thermostat, you can make
cost-cutting decisions based upon the armed state of a department. This
dramatically improves energy savings and cost savings.

The intrusion system can provide status when a
room is occupied and notify the thermostat, allowing for the system to
make environmental adjustments to the room as needed.
Performance Specifications
Specifications of the unit shall be compared
