‍Modular MAX: The Orchestrator for Heating Systems

Modular MAX transforms boiler and radiator operations by integrating them into a cohesive network alongside other HVAC components. Acting as the orchestrator, Modular MAX ensures that boilers, radiators, VRFs, rooftop units, and ventilation systems work in harmony. Its integration eliminates inefficiencies and enables precise control across all heating zones.Using Niagara-powered software kits, Modular MAX optimizes boiler setpoints while coordinating with radiator operations. This allows the heating system to respond dynamically to building demands, reducing energy waste and ensuring optimal comfort.
‍Florawise Thermostatic Valves: Smart and Wireless ControlFlorawise Thermostatic Valves bring wireless flexibility to radiator management. Equipped with LoRaWAN communication, these valves eliminate the need for extensive cabling and provide real-time data on temperature and system performance. In addition to temperature control, these valves feature presence sensors and light sensors, enabling advanced functionalities:
‍Presence Detection: Identify occupied and unoccupied areas to adjust temperature settings dynamically. Unused rooms automatically have lower setpoints, reducing energy consumption.Light-Based Automation: Monitor light levels to manage lighting systems, ensuring lights are turned off in unoccupied areas.
‍Open Window Detection: Detect open windows and automatically shut off radiators to prevent energy waste.

‍Flora AI and Demand-Based Heating Optimization

Flora AI enhances the entire heating system by processing data from thermostatic valves, wireless air quality sensors, and other HVAC components. Its advanced algorithms dynamically manage boiler setpoints, radiator temperatures, and coordination with other systems like VRFs and ventilation units.For example, if occupancy data indicates that certain zones are empty, Flora AI adjusts radiator settings and boiler output to prioritize occupied areas. Similarly, Flora AI ensures efficient operation by analyzing CO2 levels, temperature, and light data, reducing unnecessary heating in underutilized spaces. By integrating all HVAC components, Flora AI enables a demand-driven heating approach that minimizes energy consumption while maintaining comfort.
