From Pneumatic Time Clocks to Digital Schedulers: The Evolution of Day/Night Building Control
✅ Digital scheduling powered by DDC and BMS systems.
🔁 What Has Changed?
💨 Old Way – Pneumatic Time Clock:
1. Time-based mechanical control
2. Limited flexibility (usually one fixed schedule)
3. Manual adjustment
4. Only controls pneumatic actuators
💡 New Way – Digital Schedulers via BAS:
1. Schedule control via graphical software
2. Adjustments for weekdays, weekends, holidays
3. Real-time override options
4. Integration with occupancy sensors, lighting, and alarms
5. Can be monitored and modified remotely
🎯 Real Benefits of Going Digital:
1. Energy savings through optimized operation hours
2. Comfort control with fine-tuned temperature settings
3. Remote access to make live changes or view schedules
4. Data logging for system performance and faults
🌍 Final Thought:
Modern buildings require intelligent control, not just automation. If your system still relies on pneumatic clocks, it's time to consider a digital upgrade—where comfort, efficiency, and control are at your fingertips.
