HVAC Room Control

HVAC plants and their HVAC devices in the room influence the room conditions in closed rooms. A pleasant room climate is achieved during occupancy by controlling temperature, humidity, and air quality.

HVAC plants in the room are divided up into plant families that differ in principle in design and how they act. The following plant families are supported:

  • Radiators
  • Chilled and heated ceilings
  • Floor heating
  • Fan coils*
  • Variable air volume systems*
  • Fan-powered box*

* may include additional radiators

Within an HVAC plant family, the differences are much less among family members. Examples for family members include the family Fan-Coil.
