Product: i-Vu weather forecasting add-on

Description: The i-Vu weather forecasting add-on, for the i-Vu building automation system, enables intelligent control strategies based on real time outside air quality data, helping buildings adapt to changeable climate conditions. The building automation system communicates with leading weather forecasting agencies, with the weather add-on. Ten-day hourly weather forecast data can be used to optimize energy efficiency indoors and the use of water in irrigation systems outdoors. During times of high pollution, such as wildfires with heavy smoke, the outdoor air quality data can be used to control how much outside air is allowed in the building to keep indoor environments safe and comfortable. Facilities professionals can create their own custom control strategies using the outdoor air quality data, or they can deploy best-in-class ASHRAE Guideline 36 compliant control sequences that will automatically adjust ventilation rates based on current and past data. The weather add-on retrieves air quality components including fine particulate matter, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide, and retrieves hourly weather forecast data for temperature, dew point, wet bulb temperature and humidity. The hourly precipitation forecast is also included with rain, snow and ice, along with the wind conditions for direction, speed and gust.
