Meet the organization and understand the context behind the transformation.
A leading university operating a large and diverse campus committed to delivering high-performance facilities and sustainable outcomes. The organization faced growing energy expenses and inefficiencies due to siloed building systems. By implementing ITHENA’s Ignition-based building automation solution, the university achieved significant energy savings, reduced manual intervention, and gained centralized, scalable control of its infrastructure.
ITHENA’s Ignition platform has transformed how we manage our campus infrastructure. From energy savings to improved occupant comfort, it’s enabled our facilities team to operate smarter and more sustainably, while creating a better environment for everyone on campus.
Director of Campus Operations
Building systems that never talked.
HVAC, lighting, security and metering were siloed, and energy costs kept rising.
- Limited visibility across disparate building systems (HVAC, lighting, security, energy metering)
- Inability to monitor and optimize operations from a centralized platform
- Increased energy costs due to inefficient system management
- Inconsistent environmental control impacting operational efficiency and occupant comfort
