Digital controls allow our team to adjust room temperature set points, airflow, and/or program schedules remotely from our offices on campus. Visibility into campus buildings' Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems through digital controls allows the engineering team to schedule buildings to turn down over holidays and weekends when spaces are unoccupied. They also allow us to fine-tune the HVAC controls to find comfort solutions that satisfy both comfort needs and energy efficiency. The majority of campus buildings have digital controls and can be seen remotely, but over 100 smaller buildings across campus are part of a SWARM program. SWARM (Small Workplace Automation & Remote Monitoring) places wifi-connected thermostats in isolated buildings so they can be monitored remotely. When HVAC controls are limited in a building and we can't remotely see what's happening with the HVAC system, a Facilities technician visits the space to troubleshoot and address all work requests.
