Audiovisual equipment has gradually taken up a noteworthy larger part of investments when designing education spaces and buildings. Even today, style and design of buildings keeps on receiving the significant attention, while qualitative education related issues are undervalued. Often, this results in expensive changes during the building process, if only possible.
Writing proper Programs of Requirements yourself saves lots of time and money normally spent on third parties before and during the building processes.
AV-IT and Asset managers have complete overview in the Education Space Management page with aggregated and derivative numbers on campus and building level, and individual parameters on room level.
ESViewerPlus
Carbon footprints (both Embodied and Usage) are rather unknown for AV-IT devices and furniture in teaching and learning spaces. This 16-part Green AV series describes our journey into sustainability. It gives practical examples for making things visible and calculable through Space Management, Assets, CO2, and KPI dashboards.
Universities, as end-users, have significant influence on AV-IT life-cycle chains. Thus, focus on the Use-Phase as well, which takes up about eighty percent of systems’ life cycles. Take our KPI dashboard as example to start with, your influence is not to be underestimated.
Make your very own Education Spaces Viewer with an ESViewerOnly license for just one third of the license costs. Have your institute’s branded (logo, colours, definitions) online catalogue showing an overview of education spaces in a public accessible webpage where teaching and scheduling staff do not have to log in. See for instance https://erasmusmc.esviewer.com or https://strath.esviewer.com.
Detail pages display all properties of a particular space and are just one click away. An impression is given hereunder.
Admin pages manage Overview and Detail Pages, these are role based access controlled (RBAC), secured and dedicated. The ESViewerOnly submodule serves as stepping-stone towards our comprehensive TUDesc application.
