ClimaVision Key Benefits

ClimaVision’s industry-leading control sequences, scheduling capabilities, and zoning features automatically adjust when and where your HVAC system needs to run, helping lower operational costs.

How does the ClimaVision system save energy?

• Pre-packaged control algorithms that make adjustments to the HVAC system over time to reduce energy while maintaining occupant comfort.
  • SAT reset reduces the need for reheat when the cooling load is low on cooling zones.
  • Duct static pressure reset allows the air source to scale back the fan when the load is low.
  • Use of setback temps during occupied times reduces the load on the system.
• Only condition spaces as needed:
  • Flexible and advanced scheduling
  • Utilizing technology like PIR and CO2 sensors to sense occupancy, so that we can provide the appropriate levels of conditioning.
  • Precise zoning control eliminates overcooling or overheating spaces.
  • Use zone prioritization to ensure comfort of high-priority spaces.
  • Occupant app allows for users to enter out of office schedules.
• Professional commissioning ensures the controls are optimized for operational efficiency and comfort.
• Early notifications about problems allow building management to respond to equipment failures before they become more problematic.
• Advanced Energy Reporting: ClimaVision offers advanced reporting including two predefined visualizations
  • Carbon Footprint Reduction: Track the reduction of energy over a period of time
  • Portfolio Energy Usage: Compare energy usage in your building to a benchmark or to another building in your portfolio

In comparison to traditional building automation systems, ClimaVision works out-of-the-box with easy-to-install components that are designed to work together to provide maximum comfort and efficiency.

How does the ClimaVision system achieve being cost effective while still providing great features and functionality?

• Pre-programmed control algorithms eliminate the need for custom programming and engineering labor.
• Controllers communicate wirelessly, eliminating the need for network wiring.
• Cloud-hosted software eliminates the need for an on-premise server and IT/security expertise.
• ClimaVision software provides pre-built dashboards and reports saving time and engineering labor.

Specifications for HVAC systems are changing all the time. Having a system that has the ability to adapt to those changes ensures that the system will remain optimized and efficient.

How does the ClimaVision system stay up to date with the latest specifications?

• ClimaVision’s control algorithms are frequently being evaluated and tweaked to stay current with the latest standards.
• As these algorithms change, controllers receive them automatically via over-the-air updates.

ClimaVision provides many tools to help operators understand and troubleshoot their HVAC systems.

How is the ClimaVision system simple to troubleshoot?

• Trends and alarms, along with alarm notification options, help to pinpoint when and where a trouble condition occurred.
• Heatmaps provide a quick-glance overview of building comfort conditions, making it easy to see any hot/cold spots in the building.
• Custom Heatmap Filter: This feature allows the user to apply color coded filters to zones in the heatmap based on specific conditions.
• Access to system points from a variety of user interfaces:
  • ClimaVision Web UI: Powerful and full-featured interface to navigate and manage the system.
  • Central Control Unit (CCU): The CCU has a 10" tablet interface with intuitive access to the system.
  • Mobile Apps: Two mobile apps are available: the Facility app, which provides a similar interface to the CCU, providing full access to the system. Also available is the Occupant app, which gives the tenant the ability to adjust the setpoint and schedule override in their specific area.
  • Controller User Interface Screens: The built-in screens provide a menu-driven navigation of status, parameters, and setup info for the specific controller.

The ClimaVision Alerts feature allows the facility manager and/or the servicing contractor to monitor the performance of their HVAC equipment and take corrective action if their equipment is not performing as expected. The facility managers who monitor these systems can be notified and can mute/unmute notifications based on their preferences and requirements.

How does the ClimaVision system support alerts and notifications?

With the Alerts feature, the primary facility manager can:

• Choose their preferred alert method – SMS text, email, push mobile notifications, and/or desktop notifications.
• Get notified of any alert per their preferred method.
• Assign notifications to secondary facility managers.
• Mute/unmute alert for specific equipment for a preferred time duration (per user muting).

With the Alerts feature, the secondary facility manager can:

• Choose their preffered alert method – SMS text, email, push mobile notifications, and/or desktop notifications.
• Get notified for any alert per their preferred method.

One of the great benefits of the Carrier ClimaVision system is the fact that it is installed and supported by mechanical contractors that sell Carrier equipment and controls. This means there is a single place to go for support.

Even more important is the power of the ClimaVision system to be maintained remotely by your Carrier contractor. The cloud-based system can be reached from anywhere 24/7 and can often be diagnosed and corrected without a site visit.

ClimaVision is ideal for mechanical contractors because it provides a robust HVAC controls solution that is simple to install and maintain.

There are a number of reasons why 87% of buildings under 50,000 square feet don't have building automation systems today. Two of the biggest reasons are the overall cost of the system and the expertise typically required to install and support these systems. The ClimaVision system seeks to change that by reducing the installed cost and ensuring it is simple to install.

What makes the ClimaVision system easy to install & how does it reduce cost?

• Built-in control algorithms that are flexible and field configurable. No custom programming is required. During the installation process, the installing technician simply chooses the equipment type and desired features.
• The wireless controller-to-controller network feature reduces time and installation cost. With ClimaVision’s 900 mHz wireless mesh network, the installer does not need to worry about wiring problems. The only thing the installing contractor will need to keep in mind is the recommended spacing between controllers to ensure the wireless mesh network functions effectively.
