The five steps to understanding Matrix

The Matrix Fan Coil System

ThermaTrack Unoccupied Set Back

The Matrix Controller can be ‘hard wired’ to its own PIR sensor, linked to the lighting PIR or can be software linked to the main Building Management System to provide occupancy signals.

Further Energy Savings

This 'unoccupied set back' state means that further energy is saved when a space is in a totally unoccupied condition. Combined with demand based speed control, this feature is especially useful in meeting rooms or individual offices where occupancy and therefore demand is sporadic.

Occupancy Reactive

At the beginning of the working day, the air conditioning can be set to 'wake up' as employees progressively arrive. Conversely, individual Matrix units within a Matrix building will start to set back as those same employees leave at lunchtime or at the end of the day.

Standard Fan Coil Methodology

It should be borne in mind that all the features described; demand dependant fan speed and occupancy dependant fan speed can be either individually, or as a whole, ‘turned off’.

This means that any Matrix project can be set to operate like a conventional fan coil project but with all the Matrix features, whilst disabled, retained for future use.

Change

While some of the Matrix capability may cut across conventional design thinking, many are embracing it. With numerous prestigious projects already fitted with Matrix technology including the Environment Agencies headquarters which at the time of writing, is the building that holds the highest ever BREEM rating awarded.
