Turning a Community Center Into a Smart, Energy-efficient Space
Case overview
This busy community center hosts daily classes, services, and events, with spaces like gathering halls, offices, a full kitchen, and bathrooms—all with different energy needs. However, the building lacked centralized control, making it an ideal candidate for ROOMSYS automation to address widespread inefficiencies.
Previously, systems ran in isolation, with lights and HVAC often left on in empty rooms. Staff spent time manually checking equipment without clear data on usage, leading to wasted energy, security issues from open doors, no alerts for leaks, and little insight into how spaces and devices were actually used.
