Restaurants (sit-down lunch and dinner) that have HVAC systems are prone to wasting energy because most have flat-line thermostats and some have time clock or set-back thermostats (most are not set properly or do not work properly). They generally use electricity for cooling and gas for heating. With the ETE HVAC program, we will manage all of the HVAC systems with online time temperature schedule programming. Access to the time-temperature schedules is via the Internet which will discourage tampering with thermostat settings. Programming logic will monitor all conditions necessary to make adjustments to schedules and automatically send reports about maintenance and alarm conditions. This program will reduce spike loads to a minimum by not allowing the compressors to start at the same time. It will also be able to reduce peak load by staging each compressor or system properly. The operator can set a minimum and maximum set point for each time zone. This provides a ‘dead band’ where only the fan will operate. The thermostat will operate outside this ‘dead band’ but only above the maximum set point for cooling and below the minimum set point for heating.
