Improving Energy Efficiency in Schools with Predictive Analytics

Using smart technology in schools can really help save energy. Here are some ways that this works:

1. Better HVAC Use:

   • By looking at past energy use and weather conditions, smart systems can change the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) settings as needed. This can save schools up to 30% on energy costs!

2. Managing High Energy Use:

   • Smart technology can predict when a lot of energy will be used. This allows schools to move big energy tasks to times when less energy is used, helping to cut down on extra charges by about 15% to 20%.

3. Automatic Lights:

   • By using data about whether people are in a room, schools can automatically turn off lights when no one is there. This can save up to 50% of the energy used for lighting in empty spaces.

4. Watching Energy Use in Real Time:

   • By constantly collecting and analyzing energy data, schools can find out where they are wasting energy. This helps them fix problems quickly and can reduce energy waste by about 10% to 15%.

All of these strategies help schools use energy more wisely and encourage more sustainable practices.
