Smart Management of Public Facility Use and Energy Consumption

Local governments operate many public facilities, including community centers, libraries, sports centers, and cultural venues.

When reservation status, visitor numbers, equipment operation, and utility costs are managed separately for each facility, it can be difficult to understand overall usage and operating expenses.

Integrating reservation data, sensor information, and energy data can improve facility operations while maintaining convenient services for residents.

01Challenge

Facility Usage and Operating Cost Data Is Distributed Across Multiple Systems

When reservations, attendance records, equipment inspections, and electricity, gas, and water consumption are managed in different systems or documents, significant work is required to compare performance across facilities.

Lighting and HVAC systems may continue operating during periods of low occupancy, resulting in unnecessary energy costs.

At the same time, popular facilities may experience high demand, preventing residents from making reservations at their preferred times.

02Solution

Integrate Facility Data to Optimize Usage and Equipment Operation

Reservation, entry, occupancy, HVAC, lighting, and energy-consumption data can be collected on a cloud platform.

AI can analyze usage patterns by facility and support demand forecasting, reservation-slot adjustments, equipment scheduling, and the detection of abnormal energy consumption.

For example, the following workflow can be established:

  1. 1Reservation, Usage, and Equipment Data Collection
  2. 2AI-Based Usage Analysis
  3. 3Demand Forecasting
  4. 4Reservation and Equipment Schedule Adjustment
  5. 5Usage and Energy Monitoring
  6. 6Performance Evaluation

Government employees can use these insights to review facility operations and identify opportunities to improve public services.

03Use Cases

Potential Applications

  • Centralizing public facility reservations and usage data
  • Forecasting demand by facility and time period
  • Providing information about available facilities and time slots
  • Optimizing lighting and HVAC operation
  • Detecting abnormal energy consumption
  • Analyzing operating costs by facility
  • Analyzing facility utilization and resident needs
  • Connecting usage data with equipment inspection and maintenance plans

04Expected Benefits

Balance Convenient Public Services with Efficient Facility Operations

Accurate facility-usage data helps local governments adjust reservation availability and operating hours according to resident needs.

Controlling lighting and HVAC systems based on actual usage can reduce energy costs and environmental impact while maintaining comfortable facilities.
