Graduate to Energy Efficiency

Convia’s integrated controls can be applied to a university’s unique energy strategies in multiple buildings on a campus setting. The Global Gateway gives facility managers the convenience of managing the school’s entire power distribution platform from a single, easy to read interface: every light setting and energy event can be programmed and monitored in real time.

Here are some real-world examples where Convia’s innovative platform can benefit your university:

• Lights can be dimmed and shades lowered for an A/V presentation, and can reflect the preferences of any professor or teacher via a simple touch of scene controller.


• An occupancy sensor can turn classroom lights on, open shades, and activate HVAC set points. Events can be programmed to keep lighting levels and HVAC levels to a minimum until a certain time of day, saving energy when the room isn’t occupied.


• Flexible daylight harvesting controls can dramatically lower energy consumption.


• Plug loads can be shutdown when rooms are unoccupied.


• Events can be programmed by predefined criteria to shed or move load in low priority areas and let users take advantage of rebates offered by power companies.

LEED® Points

Convia may contribute as many as 23 Points toward LEED® Certification, making university buildings greener, and the university a practitioner of sustainable energy initiatives.

The Full Report on Reporting

Convia’s Energy Track reporting tool gives administrators and facility managers a clear view of how well buildings are performing.

The Energy Track dashboard displays the floor plan of a given space and highlights areas that are consuming more energy than predicted. The application’s data view enables users to track past usage in simple-to-read graphs and tables. Based on the information learned from the Energy Track, facility managers can determine the efficiency in a space, and can make decisions about daylight harvesting, occupancy sensors, and HVAC. Energy strategies can be made with confidence, for immediate and ongoing improvement.
