Higher Education & Campuses

Campus-wide building automation across every controller vintage.

Common controls problems

These are the problems that show up most in higher education & campuses — and the ones that get expensive when controls fall behind.

Mixed vintages

A campus runs every controller generation from the last thirty years. The work is making them behave as one system without replacing what still works.

Energy and rebates

Utility costs land on a single budget line the whole campus sees. Scheduling, setbacks, and utility rebate programs pay for controls work faster here than almost anywhere.

Semester rhythm

Buildings swing from packed to empty on an academic calendar. Controls that follow the schedule, not a static weekday profile, are where the savings live.

How Clark & Soma helps

  • Bring the oldest buildings onto the same front end as the newest, without a needless rip and replace.

  • Run campus-scale scheduling and setpoint work, with rebate paperwork handled.

  • Give the energy office savings it can verify.

Documentation and risk

Documentation needs

A campus-wide points and sequence record across building eras.

Verified savings documentation for the energy office.

Risk considerations

Energy waste compounds across a portfolio of buildings on one budget line.

Each undocumented building era makes the next integration harder.
