**Problem**Most Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) have the potential to reduce energy usage by 25% but to achieve this, you need a building energy management system (BEMS). However, current BEMS have a centralised architecture that makes it very expensive and less flexible and are therefore not widely used.**Solution**Our solution is a distributed energy management system (DEMS): every room has its own simpler energy management system called EyeNode, while all these EyeNodes (rooms) are coordinated wirelessly by a simple central server. EyeNode has been developed by EyeseaGreen over the last 12 months. A small number of EyeNode components have been successfully trialled over the last 6 months but to enter the PBSA market with this disruptive product, it is essential to conduct a large-scale trial at a reputable institution.**Project, Objectives and Focus**Our project is to prove the business case for the use of a novel DEMS by conducting a large-scale trial in 200 rooms at Churchill College, University of Cambridge. The objectives of the project are (i) adaptation of EyeNode for site-deployment, (ii) demonstration of the use of EyeNodes in 200 rooms and (iii) data collection and comparison against a prior energy usage baseline to prove the energy savings achieved. Our focus is to ensure that this project provides evidence of a strong value proposition for EyeNode, which will give strong credibility to the technology and reduce the barriers to market entry. This will directly lead to EyeNode's commercialisation at a time when it is most required to tackle the current energy and climate crisis.**Innovation**EyeNode integrates EyeseaGreen's novel room sensor, EyeSense, with smart devices. This enables EyeNode to control energy usage in a room at less than one-tenth the cost of BEMS, whilst adding more functionality and better scaling potential. The implementation of DEMS in PBSA is novel and has the potential to disrupt a stagnating industry.**Benefits**In the UK, there are 680000 PBSA rooms (42% University-owned) and this total addressable market of EyeNode has an estimated potential annual CO2 emissions reduction of 162000tons with an annual energy saving of £88million. The rapid growth of EyeNode technology will reduce energy wastage, reduce CO2 emissions, promote better wellbeing, improve productivity and actively target net-zero.

**问题**大多数专门建造的学生宿舍(PBSA)有可能减少25%的能源消耗，但要实现这一点，您需要一个建筑能源管理系统(BEMS)。然而，当前的BEMS具有集中式架构，这使得它非常昂贵且灵活性较差，因此没有得到广泛应用。**解决方案**我们的解决方案是分布式能源管理系统(DEM)：每个房间都有自己的更简单的能源管理系统，称为EyeNode，而所有这些EyeNode(房间)都由一个简单的中央服务器无线协调。EyeNode是由EyeseaGreen在过去12个月里开发的。在过去的6个月里，已经成功试用了少量EyeNode组件，但要想以这种颠覆性的产品进入PBSA市场，必须在知名机构进行大规模试验。**项目、目标和重点**我们的项目是通过在剑桥大学丘吉尔学院的200个房间进行大规模试验来证明使用新型DEM的商业案例。该项目的目标是(I)使EyeNode适应现场部署，(Ii)展示EyeNode在200个房间中的使用情况，以及(Iii)收集数据并与以前的能源使用基准进行比较，以证明已实现的能源节约。我们的重点是确保这个项目为EyeNode提供强有力的价值主张的证据，这将使技术具有强大的可信度，并降低市场进入壁垒。这将直接导致EyeNode在最需要应对当前能源和气候危机的时候实现商业化。**创新**EyeNode将EyeseaGreen的新型房间传感器EyeSense与智能设备集成在一起。这使EyeNode能够以不到BEMS十分之一的成本控制房间内的能源使用，同时增加更多功能和更好的扩展潜力。DEM在PBSA中的实施是新颖的，有可能颠覆停滞不前的行业。**好处**在英国，有680000个PBSA房间(42%由大学拥有)，EyeNode的这个总的潜在市场估计每年可减少16.2万吨二氧化碳排放，年节能8800万GB。EyeNode技术的快速增长将减少能源浪费，减少二氧化碳排放，促进更好的福祉，提高生产率，并积极实现净零。
