| Scheduler
The Scheduler is a core component of the ClimaVision ecosystem, empowering users to manage and optimize HVAC operations efficiently across a site. It serves as the central control system for defining when and how heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems operate, ensuring both comfort and energy efficiency.
Within the ClimaVision platform, the Scheduler is designed to provide flexibility, automation, and precision. Recognizing that every building has unique operational patterns and occupancy needs, the 75F ecosystem supports multiple types of schedules, each tailored to specific use cases and control requirements.
These different schedule types allow facility managers, building operators, and occupants to:
Align HVAC operation with occupancy patterns and business hours.
Achieve energy savings by avoiding unnecessary usage.
Ensure comfort and consistency across zones and equipment.
Support customized workflows for different building types or user preferences.
Each schedule type is built with a specific purpose and application scope, ensuring users can choose the most effective scheduling model for their building’s operational goals. Whether it’s for daily routines, event-based control, seasonal adjustments, or advanced multi-zone coordination, the ClimaVision Scheduler provides a seamless and intelligent framework for managing environmental conditions.
| Types of Schedules
The following are the types of schedules within the ecosystem
For the ClimaVision native profiles/ equipment, we have the following schedules at the building level.
- Zone Schedule
- Shared Schedule
- Vacation Schedule
- Special Schedules
- Effective Schedule
For the external equipment control, we have the following schedules
- Point-Based / Custom Control Schedule
- Recurring Schedules
- Events
| Zone Schedule
A Zone Schedule defines the combination of schedule durations and desired user limits for a specific zone within a building. Each zone schedule must operate within the boundaries set by the building’s occupancy schedule, ensuring alignment with overall site usage patterns.
Once configured, the zone follows its defined schedule, automatically adjusting zone-level control equipment—such as dampers and variable frequency drives (VFDs)—to maintain the desired conditions. By optimizing control at the zone level, the system significantly reduces the load on central HVAC equipment (such as Air Handling Units [AHUs] or Rooftop Units [RTUs]), leading to improved energy efficiency and system performance across the building.

| Shared Schedule
A Shared Schedule is a powerful feature in the ClimaVision ecosystem designed to simplify and centralize scheduling for Facility Managers and Organization Managers. Managing schedules across multiple zones or buildings can often be time-consuming and repetitive, especially when updates are required frequently.
With the Shared Schedule, managers can create a single schedule and apply it to multiple zones or buildings within the organization. This eliminates the need to manually configure or update schedules for each individual zone.
By simply selecting the shared schedule from a dropdown, users can assign it across various areas. Any future changes made to the Shared Schedule are automatically propagated to all linked zones and buildings, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and significant time savings in managing large-scale HVAC systems.

| Vacation Schedule
A Vacation Schedule functions similarly to other schedules in the ClimaVision ecosystem, but serves a distinct purpose. Unlike a standard building schedule that operates on recurring daily or weekly patterns, a Vacation Schedule is defined for a specific day or date range when the building is expected to be unoccupied.
When a Vacation Schedule is active, it informs the system that the building is on vacation mode, and therefore, normal HVAC operation is not required. During this period, the system automatically shifts to a setback or unoccupied mode, maintaining relaxed temperature setpoints compared to regular operating schedules.

| Special Schedule
A Special Schedule allows Facility Managers to create schedules outside the regular building occupancy—for instance, activating HVAC systems for a short duration on a weekend or public holiday. It provides the flexibility to override existing schedules, including Vacation, Zone, or Shared Schedules, for a specific time period.
Functioning as a temporary master schedule, it ensures that HVAC equipment operates as needed during exceptional circumstances, while automatically reverting to normal scheduling once the special period ends.

| Effective Schedule
The Effective Schedule is an algorithm-driven feature within the ClimaVision ecosystem, designed to optimize HVAC operation at the system level. Unlike other schedules, it is not a user-configurable option, but rather an intelligent outcome generated automatically based on real-time zone activity.
When a Central Control Unit (CCU)—operating under a system-level profile such as VAV or VVT-C—manages equipment like Air Handling Units (AHUs) or Rooftop Units (RTUs), it often serves multiple zones with their own individual zone schedules. The algorithm continuously monitors the statuses of these zones and dynamically adjusts the system-level schedule to match actual demand.
The resulting Effective Schedule is typically shorter than the standard building schedule, as it only keeps system-level equipment active when zones require conditioning. This intelligent coordination reduces the load on central HVAC units, leading to significant energy savings and enhanced operational efficiency across the building.

| Point-Based / Custom Control Schedule
The Point-Based and Recurring Scheduling feature automates equipment control by writing values directly to specific points—such as setpoints, fan modes, or operating states—across connected devices. It supports Modbus, BACnet, and Connect Module Zones, enabling seamless integration with diverse building systems.
Each schedule or event is linked to one or more equipment points and can be configured as a recurring schedule (e.g., weekdays 9 AM–6 PM) or a one-time event (e.g., holiday override). These schedules are automatically pushed to CCUs for execution, ensuring consistent, error-free operation.
With bulk scheduling capabilities, users can apply schedules across multiple sites simultaneously, streamlining management for large enterprises. By automating point-level control, this feature enhances operational consistency, reduces manual effort, and promotes energy efficiency across the organization.
