Leveraging the existing time clock infrastructure allows for web-based scheduling for occupied and unoccupied settings where building management systems controls are absent. An annual savings of up to $200,000 is possible for the time clocks installed to date after costs for the time clocks have been recovered in two years. The “smart” time clocks will be installed throughout the District in the next few years with the largest campuses taking top priority.
