关于客户
Microsoft is a multinational technology company headquartered in Redmond, Washington. It develops, manufactures, licenses, supports, and sells computer software, consumer electronics, personal computers, and related services. The company's campus spans 500 acres and includes 125 buildings, a soccer field, a cricket pitch, and miles of wooded walking paths. The campus has 14.9 million square feet of office space and labs. Until recently, Microsoft was using disparate building management systems to manage 30,000 unconnected, sensor-enabled pieces of equipment. The company was considering a significant investment to turn the campus into a smart campus to achieve energy savings and other efficiency gains.
挑战
Microsoft's 500-acre headquarters was operating with a disparate network of sensors from different eras, leading to inefficiencies and high energy costs. The company was considering a $60 million investment to turn the campus into a smart campus. However, a team of engineers proposed a different solution. They suggested creating a data-driven software solution that could unify the different systems and provide valuable insights into the buildings' operations. The challenge was to integrate the incongruent network of sensors and enable them to communicate with each other, providing a wealth of data to building managers.
解决方案
The team of engineers at Microsoft developed a pilot program in 13 of the buildings on the campus. They created an 'analytical blanket' based on ICONICS software to overlay the diverse systems used to manage the buildings. This software enabled the equipment and buildings to communicate with each other and provided a wealth of data to building managers. The new tool extracted data from the buildings, providing engineers with insights into everything from wasteful lighting schedules to battles between air conditioners and heaters to maintain temperatures. The engineers could then use this data to make more intelligent decisions about building operations. The solution was so successful that Microsoft and its partners are now helping building managers across the world deploy the same solution.

Case Study
Energy Saving & Power Monitoring System
Recently a university in Taiwan was experiencing dramatic power usage increases due to its growing number of campus buildings and students. Aiming to analyze their power consumption and increase their power efficiency across 52 buildings, the university wanted to build a power management system utilizing web-based hardware and software. With these goals in mind, they contacted Advantech to help them develop their system and provide them with the means to save energy in the years to come.

Intelligent Building Automation System and Energy Saving Solution
One of the most difficult problems facing the world is conserving energy in buildings. However, it is not easy to have a cost-effective solution to reduce energy usage in a building. One solution for saving energy is to implement an intelligent building automation system (BAS) which can be controlled according to its schedule. In Indonesia a large university with a five floor building and 22 classrooms wanted to save the amount of energy being used.
