Challenge
Faced with multiple building monitoring challenges, a major school district sought a fully integrated system for its buildings that would integrate both Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT). Additional requirements included the improvement of indoor air quality (which became especially important following the COVID-19 pandemic), temperature and humidity control, lighting control, occupancy tracking, management of safety measures for building accessibility, and more.
Overall, the goal was to increase overall energy efficiency, decrease operating and maintenance costs, maintain the health and safety of building occupants, and provide access to data for more analytics-based building monitoring and management.
