The Challenge of Energy Management in Student Housing
CSUS student housing struggled with rising energy costs and HVAC strain as doors and windows were frequently left open. With manual energy management proving unreliable, the need for an automated solution became clear.
Smart Solutions
Verdant’s solution integrated smart door and window sensors with HVAC systems to reduce energy waste. When a door or window was opened, the sensors signaled the thermostat to pause HVAC operation, resuming once closed. Facility managers could monitor energy use and receive real-time alerts through Verdant’s platform for more efficient management.
