Education: Lakewood Public Schools

Problem:

Lakewood Public Schools has 6 schools covering a large geographic district. Each school used a different brand of control system; with dedicated access only available from that school’s location. HVAC service requests required staff to drive from school to school to make even minor adjustments or changes. Room comfort conditions required a site visit to assess or confirm. Hundreds of man-hours of labor were lost each year driving from school to school.

Needs:

Reduce travel time of LPS maintenance staff
Combine all LPS control systems under one umbrella system
Present all LPS HVAC information in a common, standardized format
Provide LPS remote access to this information from any location
Relay HVAC alarms from all schools to LPS staff via cell, email or pager
Improve LPS staff response time to requests
Provide HVAC status without specialized software or equipment
Provide LPS trending of all pertinent HVAC data
Provide LPS uniform operational scheduling of HVAC equipment
Provide an expandable platform to integrate future equipment (lighting, security, irrigation, etc) into system

Solution:

Tridium Ax Niagara Framework Integration by Temperature Control, Inc

Now LPS staff can respond to service requests with a mouse click from any location. They can verify run status, space temperature, valve positions and many other conditions remotely before needing to dispatch a technician for service. Large spaces like auditoriums can be pre-scheduled to warm up or cool down based on actual need and usage.
