Enhancing HVAC Control for Balaruc les Bains Municipality Sites
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
Achieve compliance with energy regulations such as the Tertiary and BACS Decrees.
The Solution
CoolAutomation’s remote diagnostics cloud-based solution
By using CoolAutomation’s remote management solutions, 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.
