Bosch Home Comfort Group is redefining light commercial HVAC installation and performance with the launch of SkyQ. The intelligent control system is engineered specifically for small to mid-sized buildings to deliver advanced, system-wide HVAC control without the complexities and costs of traditional building automation systems (BAS). Small and mid-sized facilities account for an estimated 95% of commercial buildings within the U.S. Yet fewer than 20% utilize a BAS, leaving many operators without the data required to verify proper HVAC commissioning and optimize ongoing building performance.
“Building automation has experienced incredible advancements in recent years, but many of these innovations fail to address the practical needs of light commercial operations. The complexity of many platforms slow day-to-day workflows with complicated interfaces, and elaborate networking structures can make it difficult to integrate legacy equipment,” said Dan Tyson, senior product manager, Bosch Home Comfort Group. “SkyQ was engineered with a clear understanding of how these buildings actually operate to deliver an intuitive, streamlined control experience that unlocks the full value of light commercial HVAC systems.
Using a centralized platform, SkyQ connects rooftop units (RTUs), sensors, thermostats and field devices across the building to optimize performance, drive energy efficiency, reduce operational costs and minimize unplanned downtime – all without requiring extensive control knowledge.
With intelligent insight from day one, building teams gain clear energy and performance data with centralized control via easy-to-use dashboards and remote access. Built-in self-monitoring provides fault detection and performance data to empower building teams with the information they need to reduce energy waste, lower operating costs and ensure occupant comfort. If an issue arises, a simplified alert system quickly detects and pinpoints the problem and sends a notification, reducing downtime and minimizing unnecessary run-time.
The SkyQ platform is pre-programmed to connect to both new R-454B and existing R-410A packaged and split light commercial HVAC systems with smart equipment controls. For contractors, this streamlines equipment installation and eliminates complex commissioning. Using the intuitive SkyQ interface, technicians can standardize equipment setup and view each RTU system from a single platform, allowing them to quickly assess proper operation. With a suite of flexible options, SkyQ can be easily adjusted to meet the needs of most small and mid-sized commercial buildings. For zoned applications, individualized controllers establish distinct areas of independent airflow and temperature control based on real-time demand. For applications with challenging wiring requirements, wireless connectivity with a 2,000-foot line-of-sight range adds unmatched flexibility. In addition, SkyQ is equipped with premium features including graphics and cloud connectivity without added costs or subscription requirements.
SkyQ is available now and backed by a three-year parts warranty and experienced controls support staff. For more information about the Bosch SkyQ controls platform for light commercial buildings visit: https://skyqcontrols.com.
