iVolt Exceeds Proposed Savings at Edinburgh College Campuses

Utilising next 2-3 years, as well as reducing their ‘process for identifying and iVolt’s IRT™ system and secure web based utility costs by up to 10% over the same evaluating the savings across the portal for accessing information, both period, Edinburgh College is very close sites. The work was completed Edinburgh College and ISS were able to to achieving this goal in the first year to a very high standard. Would measure and verify actual energy savings following the installation of iVolt’s highly recommend using iVolt as compared to the proposed ones; all in unique technology. With higher than a credible company for reducing real time.
