Versatile wired or wireless room controller designed to meet comfort and efficiency requirements in new or retrofitted buildings
The only room controller that optimizes comfort, enhances well-being, and delivers energy savings using AI "at the edge"
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, announces the launch of the SpaceLogic™ Touchscreen Room Controller, an all-in-one device that leverages modern technology and seamlessly merges an innovative user interface with advanced functionality, setting a new standard for energy management and room control in buildings.
At this week's AHR Expo in Orlando, Fla., Schneider Electric debuts its new SpaceLogic™ Touchscreen Room Controller, which uses AI "at the edge" to control temperature, lighting, blinds and other features in commercial office buildings, hospitals and schools, optimizing occupant comfort and energy efficiency.
Building owners and facility managers in both new and retrofit projects are under increasing pressure to meet regulatory requirements and reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions—all while ensuring occupant comfort and well-being. The SpaceLogic Touchscreen Room Controller addresses these challenges by bridging the gap between simplicity and advanced functionality. Unlike traditional thermostats, which are easy to use but lack advanced features, or complex Building Management System (BMS) controllers, which are powerful but can be more costly and time-consuming to install, the SpaceLogic Touchscreen Room Controller combines the ease of a thermostat with the capabilities of direct digital control, enabling efficient energy management and maintaining occupant satisfaction.
"By combining simplicity with sophistication, we've created a solution that meets the diverse needs of modern facilities while simultaneously driving down energy usage costs through efficiency," said Sadiq Syed, Global Senior Vice President, Digital Buildings, Schneider Electric. "SpaceLogic Touchscreen Room Controller redefines convenience and technology by delivering actionable insights and automation that enhance operational efficiency, reduce energy waste, and lower CO2 emissions. By addressing customer needs with innovative, easy-to-use technology, we are driving building decarbonization and operational excellence with an exceptional user experience."
AI-driven HVAC optimization* capabilities in the SpaceLogic Touchscreen Room Controller facilitate users' participation in energy-saving programs and personalized energy reduction strategies. This is the industry's only controller that dynamically optimizes room conditions to ASHRAE 55-compliant comfort standards using AI on the edge fully embedded within the device itself, rather than in the cloud. This ensures occupant comfort is maintained in seconds and removes the extra complexity and expense of internet and cloud connections and data storage. Having AI on the edge incorporated directly in the Touchscreen Room Controller enhanced energy optimization and overall occupancy comfort, leading to a reduction in occupant complaints by up to 23%.1
"This flexible and fast-to-deploy technology is designed to help building operations enhance energy efficiency and adapt to evolving occupant expectations," said Justin Lavoie, Vice President of Channel Development for Schneider Electric. "It's an ideal solution for hotels and commercial offices, where operational excellence and customer satisfaction are paramount, as well as education buildings and retrofitted buildings that benefit from its wireless options."
Other key benefits include:
Increased Energy Savings: This all-in-one, fully programmable room controller integrates seamlessly with hotels' building management and property management systems (PMS) for an end-to-end guest room management solution. It includes sensing for temperature, humidity and occupancy. By integrating HVAC, lighting, and blinds into a single room controller, energy savings of up to 35% can be achieved.2
Optimized Energy Management: Automated Demand Response implements load shedding and pricing applications compatible with regulations for Occupant Controlled Smart Thermostats. For example, in commercial offices, facility managers will have an advanced, flexible solution that reduces energy waste while enhancing occupant comfort through intelligent temperature and environment adjustments.
Streamlined Operations: Facility managers can reduce maintenance staff hour costs by up to 25% through simple engineering tools and wireless connectivity options.3
Comprehensive HVAC Support: Support of common modern HVAC applications, including rooftop units, fan coil units, and heat pumps, ensures broad applicability across different building types. With 17 input and output connection points—the most of any room controller on the market today—the controller sets a new standard for versatility.
Enhanced System Scalability: The Touchscreen Room Controller is equipped with 40% more capacity (terminals) compared to similar products in the market, allowing for scalability for advanced application integration.
The SpaceLogic Touchscreen Room Controller is currently available, with additional features rolling out in 2025, ensuring continuous enhancement and additional value over time.
*Donotes that this feature will be available in late Q1 2025.
