WHAT IS AIDA?
Aida thermostats are like traditional thermostats in that they are wired to the HVAC
system. They feature six relays, and the occupants interact with them to adjust room
climate.
Aida thermostats are different than traditional thermostats in that they are “smart”.
Aida thermostats feature occupancy sensors, so it is important to install them in the
location where they can best sense occupancy
WHAT CAN THE TELKONET THERMOSTAT DO?
The Telkonet thermostat will automatically learn and adapt to the heating and cool-
ing patterns of each room.
For example, a room on the east side of a building will receive direct sunlight in the
morning and will either need less heating or more cooling. However, as the day pro-
gresses, the room will need more heating or less cooling as it moves into the shade. A
Telkonet thermostat will continually monitor the room, learn its patterns, and adjust
its heating and cooling profiles accordingly.
Telkonet thermostats also learn and adapt to occupant schedules. When a room is
unoccupied, the thermostat will enter an energy-saving mode, allowing the room to
drift away from the desired set point. During this drift period, the thermostat will oper-
ate the HVAC unit less often, reducing energy costs. When the room becomes occu-
pied again, the Telkonet Recovery Time™ technology built into each thermostat will
return the room to the setpoint without the occupant noticing.
SAMPLE USE CASES
Telkonet thermostats are available in several possible configurations, to address spe-
cific requirements of multiple applications including hotels, classrooms, university
housing, military residence halls, senior living facilities, multi-dwelling units, and a
wide variety of other commercial and industrial spaces.
