Air Temp Mechanical faced the challenge of integrating multiple disparate HVAC systems at Miss Porter’s School. These systems included both VRF and non-VRF systems, along with layered automation systems that had been added over decades.

Additionally, monitoring a diverse subset of equipment types was proving to be complex and inefficient. Typically, all HVAC systems at Miss Porter’s School operated as standalone units. This approach lacked real integration or remote control capabilities, leading to inefficiencies in operation and maintenance.

CoolAutomation’s Cloud-Based Predictive Maintenance Suite

To tackle the complexities and inefficiencies of managing the existing HVAC systems at Miss Porter’s School, Air Temp Mechanical implemented CoolAutomation’s advanced predictive maintenance solution.

Now, they were able to centrally manage and monitor all HVAC units efficiently from a single platform. This integration facilitated precise control and scheduling based on real-time data and occupancy levels, significantly improving the ability to maintain desired setpoints and reducing unnecessary energy usage.

Additionally, the predictive maintenance capabilities enabled proactive identification and resolution of potential issues before they could escalate, ensuring optimal performance and comfort across the school’s facilities.

The traditional approach to HVAC management relied on local control systems in individual buildings, requiring the physical presence of personnel for direct system adjustments and issue resolution.

This method lacked centralized control, scalability, and efficient management, leading to operational inefficiencies and increased energy consumption. Specifically, the absence of coordinated control often resulted in suboptimal equipment performance and unnecessary energy usage.
