Event Timeline

The following time designators are used in MinistryPlatform event calendar:

Reservation Start Time

The time that setup of the event will begin. This is calculated based on the number of minutes for setup.

Event Start Time

The date and time when the event starts.

Event End Time

The date and time when the event ends

Reservation End Time

The time that cleanup of the event will end. This is calculated based on the number of minutes for teardown after the event.

Events2HVAC uses event triggers to initiate actions in the BAS/HVAC systems. These triggers are dictated by the start and stop times for each event.

The following table shows the correspondence between the event calendar fields and Events2HVAC triggers:

Event Calendar Fields	Events2HVAC Triggering Events*
Start	Event Start
End	Event Stop
Start – Setup Minutes	Setup Start*
End + Teardown minutes	Teardown Stop*

*If setup and cleanup minutes are zero, then no setup or teardown time is added for the event rooms.
