Building Heating Control from Anywhere and Everywhere

Posted on by heat-timer

For HVAC professionals evaluating a commercial heating control solution for an apartment complex, school, office building, or other multi-unit property, the ability to monitor and manage a heating system remotely has become more valuable than ever. Building owners and managers increasingly expect the same convenience, connectivity, and visibility from their heating systems that they have come to expect from other building technologies.

Heat-Timer® delivers that flexibility through its Internet heating controls and BuildingNet®. Together, they provide sophisticated heating management, remote access, and detailed system information, so you can optimize comfort AND manage your system with ease. 

Put Your Heating System in the Palm of Your Hand

The Heat-Timer® Platinum Series is designed for building owners, managers, and heating professionals who want maximum control over their heating systems. and the energy they consume. Every Platinum Series control can be purchased with or upgraded to BuildingNet®, Heat-Timer’s internet communication solution.

With BuildingNet®, a Platinum Series control can be accessed through a secure web-based portal or the free Heat-Timer® mobile app on a smartphone or tablet. Instead of requiring a trip to the boiler room to check temperatures, review alarms, or make adjustments, authorized users can access their heating system remotely.

And this isn’t simply a remote on/off switch. BuildingNet® provides access to the sophisticated monitoring and control capabilities built into the Platinum Series. Users can review live sensor data, monitor system performance, adjust settings, program alarms, and receive notifications remotely. Security levels can also be established to control what different users are permitted to view or change.

Building managers can even set up automated reports to be delivered by email on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, providing an easy way to stay informed about heating system performance.

More Than Remote Access

One of the biggest advantages of Heat-Timer® controls is their ability to combine intelligent heating management with internet connectivity.

The Platinum Series utilizes information from outdoor sensors, wireless space sensors, and other system inputs to optimize boiler operation. Heat-Timer®’s self-learning control algorithms are designed to understand the unique thermal characteristics of a building and adjust heating operation accordingly. The result is more precise heating management, improved resident comfort, and the potential for significant energy savings.

BuildingNet® takes that capability a step further by making the information and control functions available remotely.

For building managers overseeing multiple properties, this can be especially valuable. Instead of visiting individual boiler rooms to check on each system, users can access their portfolio through a centralized online portal or mobile app.

What Can You Do with a BuildingNet® Enabled Platinum Control?

Once your Platinum Series control is connected through BuildingNet®, authorized users can manage and monitor many of the same functions available directly at the boiler room.

You can:

  • Monitor live sensor readings and heating system performance.
  • Change settings remotely from a computer, smartphone, or tablet.
  • Receive alarms and threshold warnings through the mobile app, email, text message, or web browser.
  • Set security levels so users have access only to the functions they need.
  • Monitor temperatures throughout the building to identify hot and cold spots.
  • Review historical heating data and system performance.
  • Receive automated daily, weekly, or monthly reports.
  • Manage multiple buildings and boiler rooms through a centralized portal or mobile app.

For building owners and managers, that means fewer unnecessary trips to the mechanical room and greater visibility into what is happening throughout the property.

Your Heating Control Doesn’t Need the Internet to Do Its Job

There is another important distinction when it comes to connected heating controls: BuildingNet® adds remote capability without making your heating system dependent on an internet connection.

The control continues to operate independently if internet connectivity is temporarily unavailable. Your heating system doesn’t simply stop working because the internet goes down. The control continues operating according to its programmed settings until connectivity is restored.

That combination of independent operation and remote connectivity gives building owners the best of both worlds: reliable local heating control and the convenience of modern internet-based management.

Ready to Take Your Heating System Mobile?

For today’s building owners and HVAC professionals, smarter heating management isn’t just about installing a more sophisticated control. It’s about having access to the information you need, when you need it, and being able to make informed adjustments without always being physically present.

Whether you’re managing one boiler room or an entire portfolio of properties, Heat-Timer® gives you the tools to monitor, manage, and optimize your heating systems from wherever you are.

Going mobile doesn’t have to be complicated. With Heat-Timer®, your heating system can be smarter, more connected, and easier to manage, all without sacrificing the independent operation you depend on.
