Optimizing HVAC Control
at the Balaruc les Bains Municipality
The Customer
The Challenge
1
Managing and monitoring multiple HVAC brands in multiple sites.
2
Synchronizing HVAC system operation with occupancy hours using different 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 the 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
The municipality's facility management team utilized local control systems to manage the HVAC systems across various buildings and sites. This requires multiple onsite visits and physical system access.
