Goals of smart campus

Main goalSub-goalMotivation
Enhance efficiencyEnergy efficiency (n = 5)Boosting energy efficiency through sensors, resulting in being more efficient in resources and financial savings
Efficient in operations/services (n = 5)Data provides a foundation for managing operations and services in a more efficient way. E.g. data provides a more solid base for decision-making than just “guess work”
Boost productivity (n = 4)Technological advancements can contribute to creating a better environment, taking over work that can be done through e.g. a digital assistant for boosting productivity
Compliance in regulations (n = 2)Data can provide accurate information for compliance on regulations
Financial savings (n = 4)E.g. Data can help in decision making for example better utilization of rooms instead of building a new building, can contribute to efficiency of resources, energy, operations for cost savings
Data-driven decision making (n = 5)Data provides foundation for decision making
Enhance user experienceUser-based (n = 9)(Smart) technologies should have the purpose to serve the user and the user experience (when implementing new technologies)

Collect feedback users (n = 4)For enhancing user experience feedback of users is of importance, a feedback tool can be placed in interactive screens (for example, in a booking system next to the rooms door)
Enhance efficiency and user experienceCollect data (n = 8)Collect data for the goals named in this table to create an efficient and user-oriented environment
Reduce ecological footprint (n = 3)According to the experts, campus users value this aspect, reducing footprint will therefor also contribute to enhancing experience
