Predictive HVAC control of a retirement home

     Objective: Control the AHU, the variable flow boxes and the heating in the EHPAD, making the right compromise between indoor air quality and outdoor air quality.

Context

Deployment - Smart Offer

Building

  • Retirement home
  • 600m2 – Ground floor
  • Around Paris
  • 10 rooms

Ventilation system

  • Double flow AHU
  • 10 variable flow boxes
  • Adjustable operating speed for each zone

Heating system

  • Gas boiler

1. IAQ Monitoring

Installation of 5 sensors in the facility:
– 3 CO2 sensors – VOC – PM
– 1 CO2 sensor – VOC – PM – NOx

2. Piloting

The piloting of the CMV is controlled by CO2 and fine particulate concentration limit values

Results

Reduction of 76% of the AHU load thanks to predictive regulation. 

Expert plan simulation: Predictive HVAC control

Predictive control of heating according to occupancy, external disturbances (weather) and the building’s thermal inertia.
In this way, we limit situations of over-consumption and discomfort.
