Depending on the location, building managers can reduce overall energy costs by as much as 30 percent with the thermostat's energy-saving features. Now Honeywell has made a good thing better by adding network and remote access capabilities using open system technology. That means building staff or service technicians can easily program, monitor, troubleshoot or change their networked T7300 thermostats without going to each individual thermostat. Any T7300 thermostat on the network can be easily accessed either by connecting a PC directly to the network on-site, or connecting remotely via a modem for remote system access. Remote access makes it possible to diagnose system problems remotely, reducing costly physical service calls.
Remote monitoring can provide better comfort, convenience and security.
The remote access feature allows owners to make adjustments to schedules, setpoints, and overrides. Ability to remotely adjust for daylight savings time is a significant savings. Tamperproof design prevents unauthorized personnel from changing settings. With the new capability to communicate over a LonWorks communication bus, the T7300 communicating commercial programmable thermostat can be used on a simple network of T7300 thermostats, or can be an integrated part of an open DDC building automation system.
