Lowering Energy Costs In Schools, Colleges And Universities

The over 18,000 K-12 school districts in the US along with colleges and universities spend nearly $20 billion on energy each year. Of that amount over 40% is on electricity. Space heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting not to mention the increasing use of computers and other technology drive the cost and demand for power in education. Budget constrained educational institutions are always looking for ways to lower operating expenses and direct those resources to the educational experience of their students. MPTS devices have the ability to reduce the total electrical energy consumption of a school or university by as much as 20% to 30%. In addition, the MPTS technology can reduce utility demand charges which can account for as much as 50% of the cost of electricity in some markets.
