HVAC Integration Strategy:

Occupancy-Based Setpoints:
- Occupied: 72°F ± 2°F (heating/cooling)
- Unoccupied: 68°F (heating) / 76°F (cooling)
- Pre-conditioning: 30 minutes before scheduled meetings

Advanced Climate Logic:
→ Occupancy level affects setpoint (more people = slightly cooler)
→ Meeting type influences settings (presentation = cooler for alertness)
→ Outdoor temperature factors into strategy
→ Energy cost optimization during peak demand periods
→ Zone-based control for large spaces

Load Shedding Integration:
→ Priority system during peak demand
→ Critical spaces maintain comfort
→ Non-essential spaces use wider temperature bands
→ Occupancy sensors enable rapid load restoration
→ Real-time energy monitoring integration

HVAC Optimization Calculations:

Conference Room Climate Control:
- Room size: 400 sq ft
- HVAC load: 3 tons (typical for meeting space)
- Power consumption: 12 kW during operation

Scientific Sensor Positioning:

PIR Sensor Guidelines:
- Mount height: 8-12 feet for optimal coverage
- Avoid direct airflow from HVAC vents
- Angle downward 15-30 degrees from horizontal
- Multiple sensors for rooms over 400 sq ft
- Corner mounting reduces blind spots

Coverage Pattern Analysis:
→ Map detection zones with manufacturer software
→ Account for furniture and equipment obstacles
→ Test coverage with actual occupancy scenarios
→ Verify detection through glass partitions if needed
→ Document blind spots and mitigation strategies

Environmental Considerations:
- Temperature differential requirements (PIR)
- Acoustic reflection patterns (ultrasonic)
- Electromagnetic interference sources (microwave)
- Lighting conditions for camera-based systems
- Vibration and mechanical interference factors
