Edviro for universities and campuses

A campus has central plants, labs, housing and hundreds of buildings. Edviro reads the BMS and meters you already run, traces problems to a likely cause, drafts the fix for a person to approve and checks the result against the baseline.

What is facilities operations software for universities?

Facilities operations software for universities connects campus building systems, meters, work orders and capital planning. Edviro reads the BMS, central plant and meter data a campus already has, detects waste and equipment faults, drafts fixes for a person to review, and measures each fix against a weather- and schedule-adjusted baseline. Those measured figures are what go into sustainability reports and budgets.

The campus view

A campus runs like a small city with one facilities team: central plants, labs, housing, athletics and a deferred maintenance backlog. Edviro ranks open issues by cost and risk across campus, building, system and asset, and you can filter by building type. The rows below are an example.

What it catches on a campus

Central plant driftChilled-water ΔT running low and chillers staging inefficiently.

Lab ventilationAir-change rates held at occupied levels overnight. Labs are usually among the biggest energy users on a campus.

Breaks and summerEmpty residence halls and classrooms being heated and cooled.

Simultaneous heating and coolingReheat working against cooling in the same zone.

Demand peaksEdviro forecasts the days most likely to set a peak and proposes pre-cooling.

Steam and waterFailed steam traps and leaks that show up in the meter data.

How it works

Signal

BMS points and meters are checked against the learned baseline.

Diagnose

Edviro names the likely cause and attaches the evidence.

03Human

Review

A named person approves the fix.

Dispatch

The work order goes out in Edviro or in your CMMS.

Verify

Edviro checks the meter to see whether the fix held.

For sustainability and finance offices

The measurement method is the same one we use in schools, where a live high-school site cut energy use 21.4% against its weather-adjusted baseline.

Verified savingsEvery fix is measured against a weather-adjusted baseline.→

CarbonCO₂ is tracked in goals and in savings reports.

Repair or replaceRepeat failures and repair cost are tallied asset by asset, so you can see when replacing is cheaper.

Ranked planProjects are ranked by cost, risk and savings. Each line traces back to the work orders behind it.→

Keep your CMMS or use ours

Edviro works with SchoolDude, FMX, AssetWorks and other major CMMS, and with Niagara, Carrier i-Vu and other major BMS and BAS.

Connect

Keep your CMMS

Edviro sends reviewed work into your CMMS and reads the outcome back.

Getting started

There’s no hardware project. You can start with a few buildings.

First

Meters and bills. Interval and plant meters are enough for the first findings.

Next

BMS and work orders. Connect the BMS and import the asset list and open work.

Then

The rest of the campus. Add buildings once the first few have shown results.

Common questions

Do we need new hardware or a new BMS?

No. Edviro reads the BMS and meters the campus already runs.

Can we keep our CMMS?

Yes. Edviro sends work into it and reads the outcome back. We confirm what the integration covers system by system.

Does Edviro change setpoints on its own?

No. A named person approves every change.

Can it support our climate reporting?

CO₂ is tracked in goals and savings reports. We’ll go through the details for your campus on the demo call.

What are the security and hosting options?

SOC 2 is in progress. Zero data retention, air-gapped, on-premises and regional hosting are options.

How do universities buy it?

Edviro is a software subscription and is available through Sourcewell.
