Smart Campus

Smart Campus connects the sensors and systems already running across your buildings, smart meters, environmental sensors, HVAC controls, and lighting, into a single AVEVA PI System. Once that data lands in one place, WatchPost can analyze it, visualize it, and put it in front of the people who need to act on it.

Getting there takes a few deliberate steps: ingesting data from BACnet and Modbus devices, building an asset framework that follows the Haystack Schema (ASHRAE 223) so information stays organized by building, system, and equipment type, and cleaning the data so gaps or bad readings don't throw off the analysis.

A multi-building campus like this is exactly what Smart Campus is built to unify, one platform pulling in data from every building on the grounds.

With insights from the PI System and predictive analytics, you can make data-driven decisions instead of running every zone on the same fixed schedule:

• Adjust HVAC settings based on occupancy and weather instead of a fixed schedule
• Optimize lighting schedules to cut electricity costs
• Catch equipment inefficiencies and maintenance needs before they get expensive
• Predict demand charges so you're not caught off guard by peak pricing
• Pre-cool or pre-heat spaces and coast through the most expensive hours of the day

The result is a campus, center, or site that runs on data instead of guesswork, and one that saves money while supporting sustainability and net-zero goals.
