Boosting building performance
When the school’s leadership team wanted to sharpen the site’s performance and improve internal air quality, its operations team turned to Novacene.
Novacene’s proven approach to measuring, monitoring, and controlling building performance makes it easy to gather the data needed to enable buildings - regardless of age - to work as efficiently as possible.
Working in close partnership with Novacene, the team at Cistercian College Roscrea began by identifying the aspects of building performance to be measured, including Co2, energy use, temperature, humidity, and occupancy.
Why contextualise data?
Data is only as powerful as its comprehension. That’s why Novacene presents more than ‘just the numbers’.
Novacene digitally maps out sites to help users understand the whole space - including individual rooms within it.
Mapping out sites for users enables them to see data within context, so they understand what it means for overall performance.
New capabilities for powerful insights
Working with Novacene’s innovative approach to measuring, monitoring, and managing school environments has delivered its operations team with deep, actionable insights.
A network of 20 sensors gathers real-time data for the college’s management - offering 24/7 monitoring of performance factors, including temperatures, humidity, occupancy and Co2 emissions across the academic building’s rooms.
Novacene's easy-to-use interface offers an overview of the performance across the whole site, alongside information related to specific spaces, such as chemistry labs.
Insights like these enable managers to identify any issues related to energy efficiency, building occupancy, and internal air quality.
