Achieving sustainability goals

Company:University of Wollongong

Siemens Software:Building X

Tomorrow's Vision:Reduce energy costs and environmental impact of laboratory.

Challenge

Laboratory and specialized equipment resulted in high gas consumption. They faced difficulty remotely monitoring the building, finding assets and documenting maintenance activities.

Solution

Implemented Energy Manager for consumption tracking, Operations Manager for building health monitoring and critical event response, and Lifecycle Twin for asset information management.

Benefits

Reduced energy consumption. Enhanced visibility of assets. A centralized and remote building management approach that reduces complexity and time needed searching for information.

Industry use cases
