JCI MSEA Send Attendance Action
This new action will read either expected attendee count or calculated % occupancy based on expected attendees and room capacity and will send this value to an analog point. The HVAC system can use this data to change the loading of the HVAC control and/or room OA intake requirements based on expected occupancy.
Note: This currently only works with CollegeNet R25, Google Calendar, and ChMS Event Providers. Future support for other providers may be included later if that data is available in the event schedules.
