Higher Education & Campuses
Campus-wide building automation across different controller generations.
Common controls problems
Controls issues to consider when planning work for your buildings.
Mixed vintages
A campus can span several controller generations. Compatibility and hardware condition determine what can work together and stay in service.
Energy and rebates
Campus schedules and setbacks affect energy costs across many buildings. The energy office needs documented results and a clear account of rebate eligibility.
Semester rhythm
Campus occupancy changes with the academic calendar. Controls schedules should account for those changes when addressing energy waste.
