  • Publication number: 20250043982
    Abstract: A system for enabling scheduled ventilation of an area of interest (AOI) is disclosed. The system comprises a controller that is configured to receive first historical data and first real-time data associated with one or more of temperature, humidity, air quality, and occupancy within the AOI. The controller is further configured to receive second historical data and second real-time data associated with one or more of temperature, humidity, air quality, and weather attributes outside of the AOI. The controller accordingly determines a scheduled time and duration for ventilation of the AOI based on the received first and second historical data and the received first and second real-time data.

  • Publication number: 20240418389
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure describe a Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system and method for generating fire alerts for an indoor environment having a plurality of zones. The method comprises receiving, from an outside air temperature (OAT) sensor of the HVAC system, a current outside temperature value for an outdoor environment. Further, the method comprises receiving, from a zone sensor associated with the HVAC system, a current zone temperature value associated with a corresponding zone, from among the plurality of zones, in the indoor environment. Furthermore, the method comprises detecting, when the current zone temperature value is greater than the current outside temperature value, whether a rate of change of the current zone temperature value is greater than a predefined threshold value. Additionally, the method comprises generating a fire alert for the zone based on the detection step.

  • Publication number: 20240418381
    Abstract: A system for detecting low IAQ and enabling ventilation in a multi-zone environment is disclosed. The system comprises dampers configured in supply air channels associated with zones of the environment, and an IAQ sensor configured in a common return duct associated with the environment. When the IAQ values of combined return air are detected to vary, a controller successively operates one of the dampers in an open state while operating remaining zone dampers in a closed state, so that supply air flows into the zone having zone damper in the open state. The controller further successively monitors IAQ values of the return air received from each of the zones and accordingly detects a low IAQ condition in the zones when a difference is detected between the IAQ values of the return air from the respective zone, and the IAQ values of the combined return air received collectively from the zones.

  • Publication number: 20240401832
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure describe systems and methods for managing the allotment of rooms based on indoor air quality (IAQ). The method comprises detecting, based on an IAQ sensor located within a room of a plurality of rooms, a current IAQ of the room. The method further comprises determining whether the current IAQ of the room exceeds a predetermined threshold value. The method further comprises, in response to the determination that the current IAQ exceeds the predetermined threshold value, performing at least one of triggering a control action for the room, and generating and sending a room status change signal to an allotment module configured for allocating the room.

  • Publication number: 20210320731
    Abstract: A system and a method for determining location of an asset. A method includes receiving a request from a user for locating an asset and transmitting the signal to a plurality of sensors. Each of the plurality of sensors configured to transmit a beacon for locating the asset and to receive a communication in response to the transmitted beacon from a module coupled with the asset. The method further includes receiving the communication from each of the plurality of sensors for evaluation and determining the location of the asset coupled with the module by evaluating the communication received from each of the plurality of sensors.
