Impact #1	In Longmont United Hospital, ICONICS is implemented even at the patient level. Climate control is put in the hands of the patients, and panic buttons at various “at risk” locations throughout the campus connect to the self-monitoring alarming system. When a panic button is pressed, appropriate personnel are notified via pager and cell phone.
Impact #2	GENESIS32 has proven to be an effective teaching tool for Longmont United’s facilities department. Quality graphics offer visualization of the facility and can be used to show the exact sequence of operations in any area of the building.
Impact #3	With Longmont United’s buildings efficiently controlled and monitored by ICONICS, the hospital can focus on its primary concern of providing the best healthcare. GENESIS32’s WebHMI capabilities will eventually be leveraged to allow Longmont United’s facilities operators to manually respond to alarms and adjust conditions from remote sites.
