# Smart Spaces Sustainability Accelerator



Created for pro-football and then scaled for all facilities managers who are under more pressure than ever to respond quickly and with greater precision to fluctuating demands on their HVAC systems. Energy costs are continuing to rise, flexible and hybrid work models are changing the way space is used, and new technologies like Internet of Things sensors are creating more opportunities to track and optimize energy use in real time.



The Smart Spaces Accelerator helps facilities managers optimize HVAC systems quickly and proactively for efficient and cost-effective energy use. It integrates your building management system (BMS) with external weather data and uses predictive modeling to deliver real-time reports and actionable insights to a visual dashboard in desktop and mobile applications.



### Challenges



* Operational inefficiencies can be challenging to pinpoint, leading to excess energy use.

* Rising energy costs increase pressure to conserve.

* Siloed data from internal and external sources does not integrate easily.

* Lack of fast and accurate predictive modeling makes it difficult to effectively forecast energy needs.

* A mobile application is needed so facilities managers can work from anywhere.



> 23% of facility managers cited a lack of resources available to interpret data and translate it into actionable goals as being a barrier to implementing building maintenance technologies.



### Benefits



* **Integrate with your existing BMS** and draw from external data to generate rich, predictive analytics.

* **Generate real-time predictive modeling** to optimize lead times for temperature setpoints.

* **Provide a holistic, mobile dashboard** so facilities managers can track and adjust systems on the go.

* **Easily launch a simulation** using pre-configured Microsoft IP.
