Alongside the requirements for proactive facilities management, asset management and sustainable energy efficiency, it is vital that we deliver a superior experience for our users, whether they are visitors, staff or students.
The integration of smart sensors — which monitor occupancy, air quality, CO₂ and environmental factors — provides vital data to drive automated room control.
With dynamic monitoring of user needs, along with comprehensive cybersecurity systems, everyone on campus can reap the benefits of a smart building experience.
Working with Schneider Electric also helps us avoid any unplanned downtime. This is because we have access to a 24/7 remote monitoring service and a dedicated team of experts who remotely monitor, troubleshoot and analyze connected assets to help maximize uptime, improve maintainability and reduce consumption of energy and costs.
Q. Could you share specific examples of how Schneider Electric technology has contributed to the University of Birmingham’s journey towards sustainability and improved building performance since its implementation?
Working with Schneider Electric has enabled us to take a data-driven approach, which means we can be more proactive when it comes to improving energy efficiency.
We adopted EcoStruxure Building Advisor, part of Schneider Electric’s suite of analytical monitoring services, to achieve continuous monitoring of the building management system. This allows our facilities team to proactively address inefficiencies, quickly identify errors and take preventative action.
