The table of considerations linked here can be used by building owners to help define the roof-top (RTU) control solution features required to meet the needs of their building or building portfolio. The considerations listed in the table are not exhaustive, but are meant to spur conversation with different stakeholders within an organization (e.g., IT, maintenance, energy management, etc.) to determine their requirements. The owner can then use the defined requirements in discussions with manufacturers to help determine if a solution meets the needs of the building(s) and stakeholders.

Each product is categorized into one or more of the following control categories: 1) Networked Thermostatic Control; 2) Advanced RTU Control; 3) Light Commercial BAS – Integrates with Multiple-Zone HVAC Systems; and 4) Light Commercial BAS – Integrates with Other Energy End Uses.
