The University of Pennsylvania replaced an obsolete building automation system with a centralized HMI/SCADA platform. GENESIS64 monitors HVAC, chillers, electrical substations, lighting, and space conditions across the occupied campus. The solution delivers real-time visibility, system redundancy, and remote fault resolution from a single Operations Control Center.
