The Customer
The Challenge
1
Managing and monitoring multiple HVAC brands in multiple sites.
2
Synchronizing HVAC systems with occupancy hours across separated management solutions, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption.
3
Achieving compliance with energy regulations such as the Tertiary and BACS Decrees.
The Solution
CoolAutomation’s cloud-based Predictive Maintenance Suite
By using CoolAutomation’s remote management and maintenance solutions, the Balaruc les Bains Municipality was able to centralize control of multiple HVAC systems, optimize energy usage in line with building occupancy, conduct remote diagnostics, and comply with energy regulations.
Traditional Course of Action
1
Reliance on Local Control Systems
Traditionally, the municipality's facility management utilized local control systems to manage the HVAC systems across various buildings and sites. This requires on site attendance and system access to address issues on the site.

Integrating Various Systems
The local control systems operated separately, preventing a centralized view of all information required to view complete site status

Optimizing operational processes
As a result of this separation, the equipment was not operating efficiently, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption.

High energy consumption in unoccupied periods
As the system was not integrated, the equipment also operated during unoccupied hours, resulting in high energy consumption even when the facilities were unoccupied.
