Webinar: Using Technology to Reduce Energy and Operational Costs in Student Housing

by Sarah Daniels

On June 16, Student Housing Business and sponsor ecobee hosted the webinar “Using Technology to Reduce Energy and Operational Costs in Student Housing.” Smart thermostats can help save energy and reduce operating costs in student housing. Expert panelists tackled topics like trends in students housing climate control, best practices for implementing IoT devices and the types of challenges these projects often face (including periods of low/no occupancy, lack of visibility/control and inefficient use of assets).

With tips on energy savings, reducing operating costs, avoiding costly repairs and enabling staff to control thermostats, this webinar offered great ideas for student housing owners and operators interested in boosting NOI. Systems like these represent an avenue for running on- and off-campus housing as efficiently as possible, while keep residents happy.

Tune in here to watch this presentation on smart thermostats and how best to implement them in student housing. A copy of the slides for this informative presentation can be accessed here.
