Higher Education
Campus-wide building automation across every controller vintage.
Common controls problems
The control fundamentals are the same everywhere. These are the problems that show up in higher education.
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.
