Smart technologies are changing how we use energy in schools and campuses. Here’s a look at some of the key ways they are making a difference:

1. Energy Management Systems (EMS):

   • These systems help schools save money on energy by using less of it.
   • With EMS, energy bills can drop by 20 to 30%.
   • They also provide important data that helps people make smarter energy choices.

2. Smart Lighting Systems:

   • By using LED lights and sensors that detect when rooms are in use, energy savings can be between 30% and 75%.
   • Studies have shown that smart lighting helps lower energy use, especially during busy times of the day.

3. Building Automation Systems (BAS):

   • BAS connects heating, cooling, lights, and security systems all in one place.
   • This can cut down energy use by 10 to 40%.
   • These systems adjust settings based on how many people are in a room, making them very efficient.

4. Renewable Energy Integration:

   • With solar panels and wind turbines, campuses can meet up to half of their energy needs.
   • Schools that use renewable energy have found ways to reduce their carbon footprints by 25%.

5. IoT Sensors and Analytics:

   • Internet of Things (IoT) devices keep track of energy use to help save between 15% and 20%.
   • They also use smart predictions to help schools know how much energy they will need, so they can use resources better.

In summary, adding these smart technologies to campus buildings not only helps save energy but also supports efforts to be more eco-friendly. This leads to lower costs and less harm to the environment.
