1. What are HVAC control solutions?
HVAC control solutions monitor and manage heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and cooling equipment to optimise energy use, comfort, thermal performance, and uptime — whilst enabling remote monitoring and automation. Built on Schneider Electric EcoStruxure architecture, they connect products, edge control, and analytics, and integrate natively with BMS and data centre platforms for scalable control across buildings, data centres, and industry.
2. How does automation improve HVAC performance?
HVAC automation uses sensors, controllers, drives, and software to adjust equipment in real time based on occupancy, temperature, humidity, thermal load, and energy demand. In buildings and data centres, it improves comfort and cooling reliability whilst cutting energy use, operating costs, and maintenance — with Schneider Electric drives and controls delivering up to 30%+ energy savings and predictive, near-autonomous operation.
3. How do HVAC control systems support data centre cooling?
In mission-critical data centres running 24/7, HVAC control systems regulate air and liquid cooling equipment based on temperature, airflow, humidity, pressure, and IT load. Connected controls enable centralised monitoring, alarms, optimisation, and remote diagnostics to maximise cooling efficiency, resilience, and uptime. Schneider Electric extends this with EcoStruxure solutions that help OEMs deploy AI-ready, high-density cooling faster and with less risk.
4. What HVAC equipment can be automated and controlled?
HVAC control solutions automate the full chain — air handling units, chillers, heat pumps, cooling towers, pumps, and, for data centres, CRAC, CRAH, in-row, and coolant distribution units (CDUs). Sensors, controllers, drives, actuators, and software regulate temperature, airflow, humidity, pressure, and equipment operation to boost energy efficiency, cooling performance, reliability, and uptime — powered by Schneider Electric Modicon M17x controllers and Altivar ATH HVAC drives.
