PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) Pittsburg State University wants to become a little greener by better monitoring utility usage.
Workers have been installing devices that will record and transmit real-time information about electric, water, gas and steam use to an on-campus server.
The southeastern Kansas school says the information will be used to track campus utility use, evaluate energy conservation efforts and identify other ways to save energy. All data can be viewed instantaneously and recorded for historical comparisons and analysis.
Pittsburg State also plans to install one or more kiosks around campus this spring. They’ll give students, faculty and staff a chance to access all of the real-time data, as well as sustainability information.
