Effortless Installation and Unmatched Compatibility
The Verdant VX4 smart energy management thermostat is designed for quick and efficient installation, allowing property teams to deploy the system with minimal disruption. Installation typically takes about 10 minutes per thermostat, making it ideal for large-scale rollouts across properties. VX4 offers unmatched compatibility with virtually all HVAC systems—whether modern or older—eliminating the need for costly infrastructure changes or expensive third-party 24V interface adapters. More importantly, there’s no need for tearing down walls or extensive modifications, making the VX4 an excellent choice for retrofits in existing buildings.
Additionally, the VX4 offers both wireless and wired installation options, allowing property managers to choose the best configuration based on their specific needs. For properties opting for the wireless setup, the VX4 forms a True Mesh Network that enables seamless communication between thermostats, ensuring reliable HVAC control without interfering with the property’s Wi-Fi. This 100% wireless system minimizes the need for additional networking equipment, offering a streamlined solution that simplifies both installation and long-term management. Whether opting for wired or wireless, the Verdant VX4 provides a flexible, cost-effective energy management solution that integrates effortlessly into both new constructions and retrofits.
Seamless Integration with PMS and VRF Systems
The Verdant VX4 integrates with Property Management Systems (PMS), allowing for automated temperature control based on check-in/check-out data. When a guest checks out, the thermostat automatically adjusts to energy-saving mode, reducing HVAC costs without requiring staff intervention.
Additionally, the VX4 smart thermostat offers enhanced compatibility with VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) systems, making it one of the most versatile energy management solutions available. This ensures that properties using VRF technology can fully leverage the VX4’s advanced control and efficiency capabilities.
The Bigger Picture: Industry-Wide Energy Savings with Verdant VX4
According to Hospitality Tech, energy costs are one of the largest operational expenses for hotels, with air conditioning alone accounting for 40% to 50% of total energy consumption. Additionally, commercial buildings in the U.S., including hotels, are responsible for 75% of all electricity use, with nearly half of that energy dedicated to heating and cooling systems.
By implementing the VX4 smart energy management thermostat, properties can significantly reduce energy waste while improving sustainability efforts. Thanks to its energy-saving features, the VX4 can reduce HVAC runtimes by up to 45%.
Advanced Occupancy Detection
Verdant’s proprietary occupancy detection technology ensures that HVAC systems only run when necessary. The VX4 smart thermostat detects motion and body heat, distinguishing between occupied and vacant rooms to minimize wasted energy.
- When a room is occupied, guests or residents have full control over the thermostat.
- When the room is vacant, the VX4 automatically adjusts temperature settings, reducing unnecessary HVAC runtimes.
- This process significantly lowers energy consumption without impacting comfort.
Adaptive Setback Technology
Unlike thermostats that rely on fixed setback settings, the VX4 dynamically analyzes room conditions to determine optimal temperature adjustments.
- It measures the room’s unique heating and cooling rates to ensure temperature changes remain undetectable to occupants.
- The system adjusts setback settings based on environmental factors, maintaining comfort while maximizing energy savings.
Demand Response Capabilities
The Verdant VX4 smart thermostat is also fully equipped to support demand response programs, which are initiatives that help manage energy consumption during peak demand periods. Demand response programs allow properties to reduce their energy usage at critical times, usually when the grid is under strain, by automatically adjusting HVAC settings in response to signals from the utility. This proactive energy management reduces operational costs by curbing energy use during high-demand periods.
In addition to cost savings, participating in demand response programs may also qualify properties for financial incentives from energy providers as a reward for reducing peak load. Beyond the financial benefits, demand response participation contributes to a more sustainable operation by lowering the overall strain on the grid and reducing the carbon footprint of the property. By integrating the VX4’s demand response capabilities, properties not only reduce energy costs but also take an active role in supporting energy efficiency and sustainability efforts at a broader scale.
