iVolt Exceeds Proposed Savings at Edinburgh College Campuses

Having set themselves an ambitious target to reduce CO2 emissions by 250 metric tonnes over 3 years (2015-2018) as well as reducing their utility costs by up to 10% over the same period, Edinburgh College surpassed this this goal in the first year following the installation of iVolt’s unique technology. With only the Sighthill Campus selected for IRT, the college saved 229 metric tonnes of CO2 and over £63,000.

Edinburgh College, whose TFM services are managed by ISS Facility Services, is set across 4 campuses – Granton, Midlothian, Milton Road and Sighthill – and offers higher and vocational education for Edinburgh, the Lothians and surrounding communities by providing a varied range of courses including music, performing arts, construction, hair, beauty and contemporary therapies, electrical engineering with renewables, computing, business and languages. All 4 campuses have undergone significant refurbishment over the past few years; including the addition of one of the most advanced technology teaching centres in Scotland that features an Oil Production Platform Simulator at Midlothian Campus.

In 2014 contact was made by Sandy Clark, Head of Hard FM at ISS, to discuss the benefits of voltage stabilisation as a way to further reduce CO2 and energy costs at the college campuses, as well as understand the processes that are undertaken by iVolt from initial contact to completion of a project. Following an explanation of the thorough engineering audit process and post evaluation validation iVolt were instructed to carry out surveys at each campus and provide a detailed proposal; this would include financial summary, projected kWh consumption reduction, energy saving and CO2 emissions reduction along with a detailed schematic of each installation.

From the subsequent surveys 3 of the 4 campuses were identified that would benefit from installing voltage stabilisation; these were Granton, Midlothian and Sighthill. In March 2015 the 3 projects were approved by ISS and Edinburgh College, with Sighthill going ahead in May and Midlothian and Granton following in June. Utilising iVolt’s IRT™ system and secure web based portal for accessing information, both Edinburgh College and ISS were able to measure and verify actual energy savings compared to the proposed ones; all in real time.

“iVolt were selected as our preferred partner as we found they had the most thorough process for identifying and evaluating the savings across the sites. The work was completed to a very high standard. Would highly recommend using iVolt as a credible company for reducing electrical consumption in your building.” – Sandy Clark, Head of Hard FM
