Manage Distributed Campus Facilities From One Platform

A campus is a portfolio with one owner: many buildings of different ages and uses, sharp seasonal demand, and a maintenance window that only opens between terms.

The business problem

Many buildings, one thinly stretched team

Campus estates run buildings from several decades with different systems, while demand swings between full occupancy in term and near-empty in recess. Requests come from academics, students and residence staff through informal channels, and the limited between-term window is often planned too late to use well.

The IntelliGrid approach

One estate view with term-aware planning

All buildings sit in one location hierarchy with a shared asset register, so the estate can be seen and compared as a whole. Requests are captured through app and messaging channels, and planned work is scheduled explicitly against the academic calendar.

AI use cases

Building comparison

Consumption and fault rates compared to identify the worst-performing buildings.

Seasonal load anomalies

Consumption during recess inconsistent with low occupancy.

Lab ventilation performance

Airflow and pressure monitored where safety depends on it.

Sustainability opportunities

Recess setback

Conditioning and lighting reduced during low-occupancy periods.

Building retrofit priority

Retrofit targeted at buildings with measured worst intensity.

Campus-wide reporting

Estate consumption and emissions reported for institutional disclosure.

Challenges

What makes this environment demanding

Multiple buildings

Estates spanning decades of construction and system generations.

Classrooms

Teaching spaces where a fault interrupts scheduled classes.

Laboratories

Specialist ventilation, gases and equipment with safety obligations.

Residential blocks

Student accommodation with resident request volumes and duty-of-care obligations.

Term schedules

Occupancy and demand varying sharply through the academic year.

Work order volume

High volumes of small requests across a wide area.

Energy

Significant consumption across buildings with varying efficiency.

Security

Open campuses with access control and out-of-hours protection.

Workflow

Campus request handling

STEP 1

Report

Staff, student or residence team reports an issue.

STEP 2

Locate

Building, room and asset identified from the hierarchy.

STEP 3

Schedule

Urgency assessed against teaching and occupancy schedules.

STEP 4

Dispatch

Assigned to the technician covering that zone.

STEP 5

Review

Recurrence and building condition tracked across the estate.

Campus estate KPIs

Metrics reported by the platform. Values depend on your operation.
