Murray State Installs System to Save Energy

By Associated Press

Murray, KY – Murray State University says it has installed a system used to save energy by monitoring and adjusting voltage levels throughout its electric distribution system. The university says the AdaptiVolt system is expected to increase efficiency of the school's campus-wide electric distribution network. Murray State Chief Facilities Officer Kim Oatman says the university is eager to finish the measurement process that will confirm its energy savings. The university says it's anticipated that in a typical year the project will save enough energy to power more than 150 homes.
