Dallas, Texas — July 9, 2015 — Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, announced an ambitious energy efficiency project with the San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD).
When completed, the project will improve energy and operational efficiency across three district campuses through the installation of utility metering technology, new user interfaces for building and utility management, and advanced system analytics.
The upgrades will create a cohesive facility management system that will help increase efficiency, improve maintenance and operations capabilities, and assure that 82 buildings throughout the district support student learning while reducing energy waste.
SMCCCD is a three-college district located between San Francisco and Silicon Valley serving more than 40,000 students each year. It offers the first two years of instruction in a wide variety of transfer programs as well as more than 90 vocational-technical programs. Students can earn either Associate in Arts or Science degrees or receive Certificates of Proficiency in their chosen fields.
As part of the project, Schneider Electric will upgrade the district’s building automation and control systems and install its Building Analytics solution, which provides continuous real-time analysis of all building systems and converts data into actionable insights to identify energy and cost-saving opportunities.
SMCCCD is the first community college in California to bring building control, energy management, and building analytics onto one platform, allowing facility managers to visualize, analyze, and realize significant energy savings.
Once completed later this year, the district will have the ability to continually monitor and improve its energy performance from a single interface while achieving its broader education goals.
“San Mateo County Community College is committed to being intelligent and intentional about resource use. We know that we can effectively protect the environment, maximize our utility savings, and appropriately focus on maintaining affordable, high-quality education to our community,” said
