Birmingham City University

iVolt’s award-winning technology slashes over 100 tonnes of CO2 missions and achieves more than 10% energy savings.

Birmingham City University, with roots tracing back to the Birmingham College of Art in 1843, is a leading educational institution with over 25,000 students and 3,000 staff members. As part of their commitment to environmental sustainability, BCU set an ambitious carbon reduction target of 43% by 2020, compared to the 2005 baseline.

In 2013, Jonathan Hammond, BCU’s Carbon and Energy Reduction Manager, contacted iVolt to help achieve this target. iVolt’s award-winning dynamic voltage stabilisation technology was selected as part of BCU’s carbon reduction strategy, alongside other measures such as the construction of a new state-of-the-art City Centre Campus in Birmingham’s East side Complex.

After conducting in-depth surveys of BCU’s estate, iVolt demonstrated how implementing their voltage stabiliser in several buildings could benefit the university. Using solid-state technology, the iVolt monitors the incoming voltage and provides a stable output voltage at 220 volts. This stable voltage reduces energy consumption and extends equipment service life. Additionally, iVolt’s patented IRTTM energy monitor gives the university full remote savings verification, visibility, and control of their estate.
