The room concept is fundamental in Desigo Plug and Play Automation as it improves the efficiency of the cloud-based control functions. Desigo Plug and Play Automation allows independent temperature control of a given room in a building when defined as a room in the cloud app.
The temperature control in individual rooms is based on a specific set demand. The system only controls a room at the comfort temperature in response to this demand. Division of building areas into rooms allows dedicated heating or cooling schedules to minimize energy waste while maintaining comfort levels.
Room temperature control is based on three basic principles to reduce the total energy cost:
- Reducing the total area being heated or cooled by dividing it into smaller purposeful areas
- Heating or cooling a given area more efficiently by reducing the duration
- Using equipment with higher efficiency
The room concept in Desigo Plug and Play Automation extends the cloud management functions and continuous energy monitoring, with advantages such as compensation for control deviation.
Simultaneous modifications by different users within the same location (i.e. the same room) during commissioning is not recommended, as this can cause unpredicted app behavior.
