The integrated management and service area provides administrative, conference, commercial, and other supporting facilities for the campus, serving the operational and daily management needs of the entire research and innovation ecosystem.

Key Challenges

The large scale and diverse functions of the campus create complex requirements for building operation and energy management.


Centralized Management of Large-Scale Building Systems

Building equipment is distributed across five major functional areas, including HVAC systems, ventilation systems, heating and cooling sources, water supply and drainage systems, and other electromechanical equipment.

A unified management platform is required to provide centralized monitoring and control, improve operational visibility, reduce the workload of facility management personnel, and enable faster response to equipment and system conditions.

Stable and Precise Indoor Environmental Conditions

Research laboratories, academic spaces, science lecture halls, libraries, high-level conference facilities, and office areas have different requirements for indoor environmental conditions.

In particular, research and experimental environments require stable temperature and humidity conditions, comfortable surroundings, and a quiet environment to support precision experiments, scientific research, and high-level academic activities.

 

Refined Energy Management for a Mixed-Use Campus

The campus combines research, education, offices, incubation, living, and supporting services. Different functional areas have different occupancy characteristics, operating schedules, and energy consumption patterns.

This requires more refined energy monitoring, sub-metering, performance comparison, anomaly diagnosis, and operational optimization to identify energy-saving opportunities and support the campus’s green and low-carbon operation goals.

 

Centralized Control of Large Numbers of Fan Coil Units

A large number of terminal fan coil units are distributed across offices, colleges, incubators, and other functional areas.

Traditional decentralized operation can make it difficult to manage equipment consistently and may result in unnecessary energy consumption.

The campus therefore requires a flexible centralized control solution capable of managing terminal equipment according to zones, schedules, occupancy, and actual operational requirements.

HaiLin Controls EBA Energy and Building Automation Solution

 

To support intelligent operation across the large-scale and multi-functional campus, HaiLin Controls deployed an integrated EBA Energy and Building Automation solution covering Building Automation, Energy Management, and Networked Fan Coil Unit Centralized Control.

 

The solution integrates the HaiLin HAI platform, DDC controllers, sensors, smart gateways, energy meters, networked thermostats, and other system components.

 

With approximately 24,518 control points, the solution provides centralized monitoring, control, data collection, and energy management across the five major functional areas.

 

The integrated system connects building equipment, environmental conditions, and energy consumption data through a unified platform, providing the campus with a foundation for intelligent, refined, and efficient facility management.
