results were transformative:
1. Cost Savings of 90%: By opting for a
wireless retrofit, the project was completed
at 1/10th of the cost of wiring, without
business downtime,
2. Time Efficiency: Manually adjusting all FCUs
took up to two days. The wireless system
allowed for remote adjustments, completely
removing the need for on-site thermostat
changes,
3. Operational Simplicity: The wireless system
allowed control of all 40 fan coil units from a
single interface, greatly improving
operational efficiency and responsiveness to
temperature adjustments.
