Higher Education Building Analytics for Universities, Campuses & Colleges

Higher education institutions—spanning sprawling universities, technical colleges, and vocational campuses—are among the most operationally diverse in the built environment. With dozens or even hundreds of facilities, from lecture halls and libraries to research labs and student accommodation, each building presents its own usage patterns and system demands.

Meeting Net Zero commitments, managing high expectations for comfort and learning environments, and controlling energy and maintenance costs across large, decentralised portfolios is no small feat. It demands data-driven tools that unify performance tracking and help teams act quickly.
