Introduction

Managing your HVAC system can feel overwhelming, especially when juggling multiple thermostats across a large facility. Fortunately, with COOLSPACE HVAC Integration by eSPACE and Pelican Wireless Systems thermostats, you can achieve a seamless, centralized control system that saves time, energy, and money. 

Here’s how you can transform your HVAC management process.

What Is eSPACE’s COOLSPACE HVAC Integration?

eSPACE’s COOLSPACE is a powerful tool designed to streamline HVAC scheduling and management. It integrates directly with your existing HVAC systems, providing:

  • Automated scheduling based on facility usage.
  • Real-time adjustments for unexpected changes.
  • Energy efficiency by ensuring HVAC systems only run when needed can save 15-25% of your energy consumption.

This integration connects effortlessly with Pelican thermostats, creating a robust ecosystem for centralized control.

Why Pelican Thermostats?

Pelican thermostats are smart, Wi-Fi-enabled devices designed for commercial buildings. Their benefits include:

  • Cloud-based access allows control from any device.
  • Easy Integration with eSPACE costs far less than a centralized Building Automation system.
  • Energy usage analytics gives insights into cost reduction.

When paired with eSPACE’s COOLSPACE, these thermostats amplify your ability to manage HVAC systems precisely.

How It Works: Centralized Control

Here’s how eSPACE’s COOLSPACE and Pelican thermostats work together to centralize your HVAC control:

  • Step 1: Connect Thermostats to eSPACE’s COOLSPACE
    Integrate Pelican thermostats with the eSPACE COOLSPACE platform. This connection enables eSPACE to communicate with each thermostat, syncing facility schedules with HVAC operations.
  • Step 2: Set Facility Schedules in eSPACE
    Use eSPACE to schedule facility usage. For example, if a meeting room is booked from 9 to 11 a.m., eSPACE will trigger the HVAC system to turn on at 8:45 a.m. and turn off at 11:15 a.m., ensuring comfort while avoiding unnecessary energy usage in unoccupied spaces.
  • Step 3: Monitor and Adjust Centrally
    From the eSPACE dashboard, you can monitor the status of all thermostats in real-time. You can also adjust settings for individual zones without leaving your desk or using the Pelican app for on-the-go changes.
  • Step 4: Analyze and Optimize
    Pelican’s energy analytics can identify areas where energy use can be reduced. Then, within the eSPACE platform, schedules or thermostat settings can be adjusted accordingly.

Key Benefits of Centralized HVAC Control

1. Enhanced Energy Efficiency

One of the biggest challenges for churches and large facilities is reducing wasted energy. With eSPACE COOLSPACE and Pelican thermostats, your HVAC system runs only when necessary, following pre-set schedules based on actual facility usage. This eliminates unnecessary heating and cooling of unoccupied rooms, reducing energy consumption. Additionally, real-time adjustments prevent overheating or overcooling, further optimizing efficiency.

2. Cost Savings

A more efficient HVAC system directly translates into lower utility bills. Churches can see significant cost reductions by automating temperature controls and reducing unnecessary runtime. Additionally, energy analytics provided by Pelican thermostats help identify further savings opportunities by tracking usage patterns and highlighting inefficiencies. Over time, these savings can be reinvested into other ministry or facility improvement areas.

3. Operational Savings

Facility managers can find it time-consuming to manually adjust thermostats across multiple buildings or rooms. By integrating eSPACE COOLSPACE with Pelican thermostats, churches can reduce the labor spent on HVAC adjustments. Some organizations have reported saving from 3 to 5 or more hours per week in staff time, allowing teams to focus on more critical facility needs rather than constantly monitoring and adjusting temperature settings.

4. Improved Comfort

A comfortable environment is crucial for worship services, meetings, and events. With centralized HVAC control, churches can ensure that every room is at an ideal temperature when needed. By scheduling the system to pre-condition spaces before use and automatically turning it off afterward, attendees and staff can enjoy a comfortable setting without constant manual intervention.

5. Streamlined Operations 

Manually managing multiple thermostats can lead to errors, inconsistencies, and inefficiencies. eSPACE COOLSPACE allows facility teams to oversee and adjust HVAC settings from a single platform, reducing the administrative burden.
