The Challenge

Large amount of rooms with varied room schedules make it difficult to achieve energy-saving goals.

In common, school facility team receives class and event schedules from registrar offices. To run the HVAC system more efficiently, a designated person is assigned to enter all the classes or events into BMS, which is very time-consuming and difficult to maintain overtime. Often time, we see facility teams set up a fixed schedule (ex: 7am to 9pm) to cover the majority of the rooms schedules. That results significant energy waste.

Our solution

Connect calendar system with BMS via Roby. No additional procedures are required.

Customers use Roby to connect varied classroom schedule system (ex: 25Live, Ellucien, EMS Schooldude…etc.) with your BMS to automatically schedule HVAC for each rooms. Both registrar office and facility team do not require to change their current operations, which reduce the hurdle of implementing Roby.
