Frequently Ask Questions
Q: Is S.C.E.M.S. difficult to install?
A: Not at all. Our system is designed for ease of integration. It is a straightforward, scalable process that starts with a single test classroom before expanding to the entire school.
Q: What is a "Digital Twin" and why is it important?
A: A Digital Twin is a virtual replica of your physical school. In the context of S.C.E.M.S., it allows you to manage your school’s electricity in a 3D interface. Instead of looking at complex spreadsheets, you see a visual map of your building. You can click on a classroom to control its power, check its usage, or see its maintenance status, all in real-time. This brings unparalleled convenience and control to energy management.
Q: Can S.C.E.M.S. really save us 20% to 35% on our bills?
A: Yes. The savings come from eliminating the major factors that drain electricity, such as air conditioners and lights left running after hours, inefficient AirCon settings during break times, and a lack of proactive maintenance. By optimizing these areas, schools can significantly reduce their operational costs.
Q: How does the system handle AirCon maintenance?
A: Our system tracks the exact hours of usage for each AirCon. Based on this data, it automatically schedules maintenance and sends text message reminders to the owner when a filter needs cleaning or immediate service. This proactive approach prolongs the lifetime of your units and prevents costly breakdowns.
Q: What happens if there is unusual electricity usage?
A: The system is programmed to detect unusual usage patterns. If a classroom is consuming power outside of its allocated schedule or showing signs of an overload, the Digital Twin will send an instant alert to the administrator. This allows for a physical check to be carried out immediately, preventing potential short circuits or power outages.
