| Overview

In the 75F® system, we have various levels of profiles that control and monitor various levels of equipment and devices, we have system-level profiles controlled by the CCU which is the master controller, and we have module-level profiles that control the zone-level equipment and devices.

In the heatmap page of the 75F® system, we monitor the HVAC parameters for the different levels of profiles. The heat map gives a snapshot of the room conditions in a building in predefined color codes, as zones as below.

Floor Planner is a feature of the 75F® system, which provides us the option to upload the floor plan for the building floor and set up the zones in the floor plan so that the heatmap viewability is achieved.

Buildings are continuously transforming; the layout of a newly constructed building is not the same as another building. The shape of a lobby or a meeting room in one building is different from the other. 

Lobby and meeting room shapes today, range from a semicircle to an octagon or any other complex shape that the traditional shapes cannot accommodate, not just lobbies and meeting rooms which are of a complex shape, the aisles of buildings today, as well are of complex shapes and complex orientations, which makes it more difficult for the BMS providers to create the exact zoning for all those complex zones/rooms in a building.

To address this the multiple shapes support for zones in the Floorplan is introduced in the 75F® system.

This feature helps facility managers and support users to map zones in the floor of the building to an exact shape, however, complex the shape of the zone or room may be, thus providing accurate viewability of the actual building zones on the heatmaps.

Advantages

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

Following are the shapes added to the existing list.  

  • Square
  • Circle
  • Triangle 
  • Rectangle or Parallelogram
  • Pentagon 
  • Hexagon  
  • Octagon  

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