| Wireless Energy Efficiency Can Help Schools Conserve Energy and Save Budgets
|
There are various approaches to reduce energy consumption (new windows, insulation, HVAC), but few have a significant near-term effect. Many require 5 to 15 years to achieve payback. An intelligent energy conservation program is the key to both short and long term sustainability.
Conserving energy on one individual school building is just the tip of the conservation iceberg. The majority of energy cost--and therefore the opportunity for conservation—is across the many buildings making up a school district. This effort requires a broader view and approach. Energy policy and compliance need to be addressed across many levels in the district, schools, equipment, rooms, and usage.
Since most schools are occupied only 40% of the time, there is a huge waste of energy.
School districts need a flexible and effective way to consistently provide comfortable classrooms and reduce energy consumption when rooms are empty.

| Millennial Net’s Solution |
Millennial Net’s Energy Management System helps to balance both budgetary constraints and operational priorities. It is designed for rapid and affordable deployment across multiple buildings. It uses wireless devices and the internet to reduce installation costs and provide greater coverage of sensors and control points.
The system is an integrated framework for comprehensive remote monitoring and control of key energy sources, supply and demand. The framework combines the recent advances in technology including wireless sensor networks, the internet and hosted software applications.
Every classroom and office is monitored with a network of intelligent wireless devices in each school that collect and move data bi-directionally in real-time. For HVAC management, the primary intelligent devices are wireless thermostats feeding data via internet to a software system that controls the temperatures versus an established energy management profile.
Result: Consistent energy savings up to 30% with no loss in comfort and learning effectiveness.
