Setting Up Your Floorplan

4 Minute Read

| Overview

In the 75F ecosystem, we have multiple profile types that control and monitor various levels of equipment and devices. The system-level profiles, which are controlled by the CCU, act as the master controller. The module-level profiles serve to control the zone-level equipment and devices.

On the "Site Overview" page, we monitor the HVAC parameters for the different levels of profiles. The heat map gives a snapshot of the room conditions by zone in a building in predefined colour codes, as shown below.

'Floor Planner' is a feature within the system that provides the option to upload the floor plans for the buildings and plan the zones to display on the Site Overview page.

Buildings are incredibly unique in their characteristics, to the point where no two building floor plans can be approached in the same manner to generate the zones.

A typical lobby and meeting room shape can range from a semicircle to an octagon, or any other number of unique shapes that lay in between.

However, this variance is far from being limited to just lobbies and meeting rooms.

The aisles of buildings today are so complex in both shape and orientation, which makes it all the more difficult for BMS providers to create the exact zoning needed for all those configurations within a building.

To address this and create the most effective zoning possible, we provide varied shapes of support within the Floorplan system. This helps 'Facility managers and 'support users map zones on the floor of a building to an exact shape, however complex the shape of the zone.

Advantages

Exact viewability of the device position and the exact zone covered by the device.
Enhanced floor planning functionality
More accurate, reflecting the actual zones mapped in the building layout

The following geometrical shapes are considered:

Square
Circle
Triangle 
Rectangle or Parallelogram
Pentagon 
Hexagon  
Octagon

Note: The zones in a floor can be created or assigned from both the Internal and Facilisight portals, floor planner can be accessed from both the Internal and Facilisight portals.

Alternatively, you can also use the mouse roller to pan the floor plan vertically, and use the shift+mouse roller to pan horizontally.

Or you can use the touchpad and pan the floor plan using two fingers, and drag.

Once the floor plan is uploaded, the shapes available for creating the zones are displayed, and the zones created for the floor in the CCU are also displayed.

Click on the zone you want to add to the floor plan.

You can also search and select zones using the search field provided.

Drag and drop the zone from the zones list to the floor plan.

The selected zone is created in the floor plan with the default shape, square. The action bar also displays.

Hover over the edges of the shape to rotate it as required using the shape rotation option.

Hover over the sides and resize the shape as required by clicking the vertices and dragging.

Click the dropdown to select a different shape for the zone.

Click the Add vertices option to add more vertices to the shape used.

Double-click any side in a shape to add additional nodes, click and hold a node, and press delete to delete a node in a shape.

Click and drag additional nodes to different locations to reach the expected shape goals.

Note: The nodes snap into place by default for accurate alignment.

Press and hold the Shift key on the keyboard to cancel out the snapping and for free movement of the nodes.

Click the resize option to resize or rotate the newly created shape.

The newly created shape gets added the list of available shapes, as shown below.

Repeat the above steps to add more zone in the floor plan.
Click Publish to save changes made.

Click Reset to reset the floor plan and remove the changes created.

Once saved, the same can be seen on the Site Overview Page of the Internal and the Facilisight Portal, with the colour codes for the different levels of temperature that are predefined.

Note: Whether the floor zones are planned and set in the Internal Portal or Facilisight, the changes made are reflected on the site overview page of the other.
