1. Introduction
Energy is a large cost for hotels, and an EMS (Energy Management System) is a way
of achieving energy savings in guest rooms. With the Orion EMS software option to
Visionline it is possible to
view the Orion EMS status of different rooms
modify the configurable parameters for a room (or group of rooms/
the entire property)
provide alarm conditions
provide energy savings reports
provide preventative maintenance reports
Note: For mounting of Orion EMS devices, installation of the software option etc,
see Installation manual Orion High VoltageThermostat.
Note: This thermostat is an independently mounted control for surface mounting.
A main task for Orion EMS is to determine whether or not a guest room is physically
occupied. When a room is not occupied, Orion EMS controls the HVAC (Heating
Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems based on the configurable settings of the
system.
Note: For information about what firmware to use in different Orion EMS
configurations, see the document Upgrading an RFID lock for an Orion EMS offline
scenario.
Note: The best conditions for Orion EMS are obtained if also the locks are online and
commissioned to the same ZigBee network as the thermostat and the motion sensor.
Certain Orion EMS operations cause alarms; see chapter Energy management
summary and Alarm list for details. Occupancy status is included in all alarms. This
allows the staff to fix the problem that caused the alarm without bothering the guest.
