How Universities Use Real-Time Data to Improve Efficiency and Reliability
Modern campuses operate with countless moving parts, including utilities, HVAC systems, laboratories, and central plants, that must function flawlessly every day. Rising energy costs, aging infrastructure, and sustainability goals make these tasks more challenging than ever. The AVEVA™ PI System™ integrates these systems, transforming raw data into real-time insights. This enables facility leaders to observe what is happening, understand the underlying reasons, and take action before issues escalate.
Inside, you’ll learn how:
- How UMass Amherst saved $900 K each year by aligning plant operations with live data.
- University of Maryland used data visualization to improve crisis response and resiliency.
- MIT uncovered a hidden equipment fault that saved $60 K–$80 K annually.
- UC Davis reduced gas use by 62 % and lowered energy-use intensity by 46 % through connected optimization.
Discover the strategies behind the world’s most connected universities.
