Purpose
1. Automate centralized, real-time monitoring and control of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC), and energy systems in regional airport facilities.
2. Enable automated alerts, reporting, remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and immediate action for energy savings and compliance.
3. Reduce manual inspections and optimize operational efficiency through automation of sensor data collection, analysis, and system response.
4. Automate logging of temperature, humidity, occupancy, equipment status, and energy usage for regulatory and operational reporting.
Trigger Conditions
1. Automatedly detect abnormal temperature, humidity, energy use, or equipment status via sensor data.
2. Scheduled intervals—hourly/daily/weekly automated scans of system health.
3. Manual override by facility staff to initiate automated diagnostics.
4. Automated integration triggers via maintenance ticketing systems or facility management requests.
