Description of the platform

We have two technical platforms:

a home automation technical platform with residential space simulation. This technical platform/laboratory is at the disposal of students who use it to implement solutions as if they were in the field. It is not a teaching model, but a real piece of equipment that they learn to handle in order to be immediately operational in the professional environment.
a building automation technical platform with simulation of a tertiary space: the building automation technical platform is equipped with systems for managing openings, regulating lighting and video projection, enabling the simulation of a room in a tertiary type building. This space can be reconfigured to create a situation close to reality. It also serves as a training room.

The Beaulieu Campus is also a field for life-size experiments. In partnership with the DRIm (Department of Real Estate Resources), technological solutions can be tested on certain buildings.
