Public buildings, such as schools, hospitals, and town halls, represent a significant portion of a city's energy consumption. Energy optimization of these buildings can help cities achieve significant energy savings, whether for electricity, gas or even water.
In this context, urban digital management solutions can be used to improve the energy efficiency of public buildings in a number of ways.
- Monitoring consumption by collecting energy data from public buildings. This data can be used to identify which buildings are consuming the most energy and to take steps to improve their energy efficiency. At the building level, this can also be used to identify the systems that consume the most energy to optimize their operation.
- Control of lighting systems: management solutions can be used to control the lighting systems of public buildings. This makes it possible to identify areas or periods of unnecessary lighting, turn off lights when not in use or when there is no one in certain areas and thus reduce energy consumption.
- Heating and cooling system control:?Analyze and optimize control of systems, sometimes by simply measuring electricity and gas consumption from suppliers of energy. This allows buildings to be kept at a comfortable temperature while reducing energy consumption.
Here are some examples of concrete applications of energy optimization for public buildings:
- Using sensors to detect the presence of people in a room and activate or deactivate lighting accordingly.
- Scheduling heating and cooling systems based on weather conditions and building occupancy.
- Installation and management of heat recovery systems to use wasted heat to heat other areas of the building.
Energy optimization of public buildings is a growing field. Urban hypervision solutions offer cities an effective way to reduce the energy consumption of these buildings and achieve significant savings while improving occupant comfort.
Urban hypervision solutions can help cities achieve these benefits by providing them with real-time data and analytics.
