DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF INTELLIGENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO OPTIMIZE RESOURCE CONSUMPTION ON UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES

Abstract

The article presents a systematic step-by-step approach to optimizing resource consumption on college campuses through the implementation of intelligent energy management systems (IEMSs) and energy efficiency education programs (3EP). The implementation methodology is discussed, highlighting the stages of evaluation, selection of IEMS, as well as their benefits, functionalities and challenges. We have also highlighted the types, benefits and made a number of recommendations aimed at providing energy resilience to university campuses. The major benefits of this approach are highlighted, including cost reduction, improved energy efficiency, increased awareness and responsibility of students and staff and building a modern and high-performing learning environment.
