Brown University Health (formerly Lifespan) – Compliance, Regulatory, and Energy Performance
Brown University Health, formerly Lifespan, is a leading integrated academic health system in Rhode Island affiliated with Brown University. Its hospitals and healthcare facilities operate complex clinical environments where uptime, compliance, patient comfort, and cost control are critical.
Challenge
Large healthcare campuses face continuous pressure to maintain strict environmental and operational standards while controlling costs. Brown University Health needed stronger visibility into building systems and critical environments to support regulatory readiness, improve response times, and identify energy waste across facilities.
- Compliance & Regulatory Demands: Critical spaces require documented conditions, alarms, and defensible records.
- Limited Real-Time Visibility: Legacy systems can make it difficult to quickly detect issues across multiple sites.
- Rising Utility Costs: Hospitals run 24/7 with energy-intensive HVAC, chilled water, steam, and electrical loads.
- Operational Risk: Equipment failures or poor conditions can impact care delivery and patient experience.
Solution
FacilityConneX deployed an intelligent monitoring and analytics platform that connected existing building systems, meters, and critical assets into one actionable view. The solution combined real-time dashboards, automated alerts, trending, and analytics to support both compliance initiatives and energy optimization.
Key aspects of the solution included:
- Unified Monitoring: across campuses and facilities.
- Automated alarms, notifications, and historical records.
- Energy dashboards for electric, steam, water, and HVAC performance.
- Analytics to identify inefficiencies and emerging equipment issues.
