Verdant thermostats cut guest-room HVAC runtime by about 45% on average and typically lower energy cost by 15–20%, without changing how the room feels when a guest is in it.

They do it with built-in motion + thermal occupancy sensing, patented Night Occupancy (so the unit does not set back while someone is sleeping), and set-point limits that stop extreme guest settings. Install time is about 10 minutes per room. Wired and wireless models are available. The wireless mesh does not use the property Wi-Fi.

AIDCO supplies Verdant alongside Amana, GE / Hotpoint, Islandaire, Applied Comfort, and Distinctions PTAC / VTAC units. One quote. One Canadian supplier. GTA installation and aftercare available.

What you get in the number

• ~45% less HVAC runtime in vacant rooms (Verdant published average)
• ~15–20% lower energy cost on the rooms those units serve
• 12–18 month typical payback, faster when utility incentives apply
• ~10 minute install per thermostat — retrofit or new build
• Approved by major hotel brands including Hilton, Marriott, and IHG programs
• Ontario Save on Energy Retrofit currently lists Hotel Occupancy Control incentives of $100/room (gas heat) and $200/room (electric heat) for HVAC + lighting occupancy control. AIDCO will help you check current eligibility before you order.

How it works

1. The thermostat watches the room with a motion sensor and a thermal sensor.
2. When the room is empty, temperature setback starts automatically. Limits keep the room from drifting too far.
3. When a guest returns, Dynamic Intelligent Recovery brings the room back to the set point within the time you allow.
4. Night Occupancy keeps setback off while a sleeping guest is detected — no door switch required.
5. Optional online management (Verdant Thermostat Manager) lets you see and adjust every room from a phone or desktop. The mesh network is proprietary 900 MHz RF. It does not sit on guest Wi-Fi.

Models we quote

Most hotel and LTC PTAC jobs land on the VX / VX4 family. ZX is the flagship guest-facing design (e-paper display). We match the model to the unit, voltage, and whether you want standalone or networked rooms.

Family	Best fit	Occupancy	Install	Display
VX / VX4	PTAC, PTHP, VTAC, fan coil, most hotel retrofits	PIR + thermal (occupancy models)	Wired or wireless	LCD, black or white
VX4-GEA	GE / Hotpoint Zoneline V12 and make-up air PTACs	Yes	Plug-and-play harness	LCD
ZX	New builds and brand-standard guest rooms	Yes + Night Occupancy	Wired or wireless	E-paper

Common part families: VX4-TR (wired), VX4-TW (wireless), VX4-HW (line voltage wireless), VX-TR-KT / VX-TW-KT, ZX wired/wireless. Black or white. Networked (-XMF) or standalone.

PTAC and VTAC compatibility

Verdant is built for the equipment AIDCO already ships:

• PTAC and PTHP with electric heat
• VTAC / VTHP
• Fan coil (2-pipe and 4-pipe, PSC and ECM)
• Water-source heat pump
• Selected VRF / mini-split (LG, Mitsubishi, Carrier, Daikin, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Hitachi — model-specific)
• GE / Hotpoint Zoneline including newer V12 and make-up air chassis (VX4-GEA)

If you already run Amana, GE Zoneline, Hotpoint, Islandaire, Applied Comfort, or Distinctions units, send the model number. We confirm terminals (R, C, Y, W, O/B, GH, GL, AUX) before we quote.

Who this is for

• Hotels and motels replacing wall stats on PTAC / VTAC rooms
• LTC and senior living that need set-point limits and quieter overnight operation
• Student housing and multifamily with random occupancy
• Owners doing a PTAC refresh who want the thermostat and the unit from one Canadian supplier
