Lower Energy Costs
Integrating Syllabus Plus with your Building Management and Automation systems can provide significant benefits:
- Savings in security staff time in locking and unlocking venues.
- A single point of entry for location booking and security information, reducing human errors and omissions.
- Energy savings as lights, air-conditioning and other services are switched off when the rooms are not in use.
- Enhanced security - locked doors reduce the level of theft of equipment such as data projectors.
Space Analysis
By providing data on the current utilisation of space - room frequency, seat occupancy, by department, by time of day, Scientia Enterprise can help identify those areas for improvement, leading to optimisation of space.
Resource Optimisation
Because Syllabus Plus considers the needs of all resources when helping to construct the timetable for the institution, overall resource optimisation is increased. Room utilisation and room occupancy are significantly improved by adjusting the scheduled time of each activity, and this also provides other benefits for staff and students. The resource inefficiencies that result from a fixed timetable can be removed.
Syllabus Plus can also consider other factors when allocating resources, for example to leave space that is suitable for external events
that generate income, e.g. conferences.
Modelling New Buildings
The business case for new buildings is enhanced by demonstrating the need for the new space.
This can be achieved by measuring the existing utilisation levels and testing the new building against the planned timetable to
ensure the mix of rooms will meet future needs. Spending large sums of money on new buildings doesn't happen every day,
so you need to ensure you spend it in the best possible way.
Scientia consultants can help you demonstrate the economic benefits for a new building by providing qualitative analysis about how
well the building meets the requirements.
