Belimo Zip

Ventilation controller with economizer with modular upgrade to allow for CO2-based demand control ventilation capabilities.

Hub Highlights:
  • Monochrome LCD display and buttons for commissioning, troubleshooting, or viewing status.
  • Optional module available for BACnet MS/TP communication.
  • Good performance under Hub simulated occupancy profiles.
  • Modular expansions available.


Honeywell Jade (Fast Configuration)

Ventilation controller with economizer with available inputs for CO2-based demand control ventilation capabilities. Using Honeywell Sulk Bus enabled sensors enables more fault detection features. Two configurations were evaluated (fast and slow).

Hub Highlights:
  • Monochrome LCD display and buttons for commissioning, troubleshooting, or viewing status.
  • No direct connection to building management system.
  • Great performance under Hub simulated occupancy profiles.
  • Purchasing a USB adapter allows PC based commissioning software to be used. This will allow the user to choose a "fast" mode which performed better in Hub testing protocols.


Honeywell Jade (Slow Configuration)

Ventilation controller with economizer with available inputs for CO2-based demand control ventilation capabilities. Using Honeywell Sulk Bus enabled sensors enables more fault detection features. Two configurations were evaluated (fast and slow).

Hub Highlights:
  • Monochrome LCD display and buttons for commissioning, troubleshooting, or viewing status.
  • No direct connection to building management system.
  • Great performance under Hub simulated occupancy profiles.
  • Purchasing a USB adapter allows PC based commissioning software to be used. This will allow the user to choose a "fast" mode which performed better in Hub testing protocols.


Johnson Controls Peak

Ventilation controller with economizer with available inputs for CO2-based demand control ventilation capabilities.

Hub Highlights:
  • Monochrome LCD display and buttons for commissioning, troubleshooting, or viewing status.
  • BACnet MS/TP supported.
  • Good performance under Hub simulated occupancy profiles.


Johnson Controls TEC

Ventilation system controller with economizer and CO2-based demand control ventilation capabilities. The device may be configured locally or with wired communication protocols.

Hub Highlights:
  • Color touchscreen display.
  • BACnet MS/TP supported.
  • Good performance under Hub simulated occupancy profiles.
  • Also functions as a thermostat.


Pelican Pearl (1000 PPM Setting)

Ventilation system controller with economizer and CO2-based demand control ventilation capabilities. The device may be configured and monitored wirelessly with Pelican’s Site Manager. We evaluated two settings of this model (the default 800 PPM setting and a 1000 PPM setting).

Hub Highlights:
  • No on-board display, all information and commissioning done on a web browser via cloud connection.
  • Proprietary wireless connection with API available.
  • Good performance on Hub CO2 accuracy testing protocols


Pelican Pearl (Default 800 PPM Setting)

Ventilation system controller with economizer and CO2-based demand control ventilation capabilities. The device may be configured and monitored wirelessly with Pelican’s Site Manager. We evaluated two settings of this model (the default 800 PPM setting and a 1000 PPM setting).

Hub Highlights:
  • No on-board display, all information and commissioning done on a web browser via cloud connection.
  • Proprietary wireless connection with API available.
  • Good performance under Hub simulated occupancy profiles.


XCSpec Air Quality Display

Ventilation system controller with economizer and CO2-based demand control ventilation capabilities. The device may be configured and monitored wirelessly with XCSpec’s Mini Access Point.

Hub Highlights:
  • LED status indicators, information and commissioning available through integrated WiFi.
  • WiFi connection but no supported building management system (BMS) protocols.
  • Poor performance under Hub simulated occupancy profiles.
