When building systems aren’t integrated and don’t “talk” to one another, major opportunities for energy conservation are lost. What building owners may not realize, however, is that a building information model (BIM) can help solve this problem.
One of the benefits of BIM is that is provides rich information about all the rooms in a building. When that data is blended with behavior patterns of building occupants, it’s possible to schedule intelligent behavior for HVAC systems, lighting, and more.
At Lincoln Public Schools in Nebraska, for example, IMAGINiT integrated its facilities management system with intelligent building systems. Information about the school schedule and extra-curricular activities is now available to the heating and lighting systems, so rooms are comfortable when students are in the building and energy is conserved during off-peak times like nights, weekends, and vacations.
