Budget-constrained schools can free up sorely needed cash for instructional needs by reducing consumption in unoccupied classrooms. Classroom temperature levels can be adjusted automatically to assure teacher-student comfort while avoiding unnecessary heating and cooling consumption when school is out.
.
Smart Thermostats adjust temperature set points based on when students, teachers, and staff are in the building or not. Temperature set-points can be adjusted to reflect changes in weather conditions. Classrooms can be easily grouped or ungrouped (e.g., wing-by-wing or floor by floor) for ultimate flexibility of control.
Smart Plugs eliminate parasitic loads such as projectors when not occupied and computer monitors when the building is unoccupied. They can also control water heaters, and thermal loads when the building. Is unoccupied.
Sensors can de-activate lighting and smart devices when people leave the room. They can also turn down lights when natural lighting provides sufficient illumination levels. Outdoor lighting can be scaled up when people are present for added security.
Access to the wholesale electricity market allows schools to derive revenue from demand response payments by responding to favorable market price signals.
All data is encrypted and secured safely in a remote data center and can only be accessed by authorized personnel from anywhere in the world. Integrate fire, carbon monoxide, and water alarms into the energy management system so a single dashboard can monitor and control building systems.
Maintenance notifications can alert facility staff to equipment that needs service.
