Case Study: University of Notre Dame reduces energy costs with Eaton power metering and monitoring solutions

University of Notre Dame reduces energy costs with Eaton’s power metering and monitoring solutions

The University of Notre Dame faced high and growing energy costs, a significant portion of its operating budget. To address this challenge, the university partnered with vendor Eaton to implement a comprehensive power metering and monitoring solution to track consumption and identify savings opportunities.

Eaton provided a wide array of products, including PowerNet, Power Xpert PXM meters, and IQ Data Plus II meters, to create a centralized energy management system. This solution enabled detailed analysis of energy use, real-time feedback for behavioral changes, and submetering of key facilities. The results included a substantial reduction in energy consumption, enhanced system reliability, and significant cost savings, justifying the investment. Eaton's technology has been essential to the university's ongoing sustainability and financial goals.
