The Challenge

Managing a 50-hectare campus with disconnected systems

The facilities team was drowning in data silos. Energy readings in one system, HVAC in another, water monitoring on spreadsheets. When issues arose, they were always reactive—finding out about problems after complaints, not before.

8 different monitoring systems with no integration
2+ hour average response time to facility issues
No visibility into energy waste patterns
Manual water meter readings once a month
Greenhouse operations disconnected from facilities

Data silos = Slow response = Wasted energy
Digital Twin Technology

A living virtual replica of the entire campus

The Digital Twin integrates all 600+ sensors into a unified 3D visualization—energy flows, water systems, air quality, and occupancy all visible in real-time. When a sensor triggers, the Digital Twin shows exactly where, what, and why.

Connected Systems

6 IoT systems. One Digital Twin.

Every sensor feeds into the Digital Twin with Smart Workflows that automatically create work orders when issues are detected.

Energy Monitoring

Real-time power consumption tracking across all buildings with automated anomaly detection and peak demand alerts.

120+ power meters
Smart Workflow Auto work order when consumption exceeds baseline by 15%

Smart Toilets & Occupancy

Occupancy sensors for cleaning optimization, consumable level monitoring, and crowd management during peak hours.

200+ occupancy sensors
Smart Workflow Auto dispatch cleaning crew when usage threshold reached

Water Monitoring

Flow meters and leak detection sensors across water mains, preventing costly water damage and reducing wastage.

85+ flow & leak sensors
Smart Workflow Instant alert + auto work order on leak detection

Solar PV & ESS

Rooftop solar panels with battery storage powering the campus greenhouse hydroponics system for sustainable food production.

45 kWp solar + 100 kWh ESS
Smart Workflow Auto-switch to grid when battery < 20%

Indoor Air Quality

CO2, PM2.5, temperature, and humidity monitoring with automated HVAC and air purifier control for optimal learning environment.

150+ IAQ sensors
Smart Workflow Auto-trigger air purifiers when PM2.5 > 35μg/m³

Smart Lighting

Daylight harvesting and occupancy-based lighting control reducing energy consumption while maintaining optimal illumination.

300+ lighting zones
Smart Workflow Auto-dim when daylight sufficient, off when unoccupied
Sustainability Highlight

Solar-Powered Greenhouse Hydroponics

The campus greenhouse uses rooftop solar PV (45 kWp) with battery storage (100 kWh ESS) to power its automated hydroponics system—growing fresh produce for the campus cafeteria while teaching students about sustainable agriculture.

Smart Workflows

Automatic work orders. Zero manual effort.

Every sensor is connected to Smart Workflows that automatically create, route, and escalate work orders based on real-time conditions.

1
Trigger

Temperature > 28°C in lecture hall

Action

Auto-create HVAC work order, notify technician, escalate if not resolved in 30min

2
Trigger

Water leak detected in Building B

Action

Instant alert to facilities team, auto-close water valve, create emergency work order

3
Trigger

CO2 > 1000ppm in classroom

Action

Increase fresh air intake, alert if not resolved, log for compliance

4
Trigger

Solar inverter fault detected

Action

Switch to grid power, create maintenance work order, notify energy manager
