Smart campus products and solutions

Increase reliability and resiliency

An unplanned power outage on a campus or in a building can result in the disruption of critical systems that keep everyone connected, jeopardize the results of ongoing research projects and compromise cybersecurity protocols. Eaton helps to ensure that your facility has the electrical power it needs with innovative back-up power protection, advanced power distribution equipment, predictive diagnostic tools, and maintenance and testing services.

Modernize operations

Many higher education environments have aging equipment that’s beyond its anticipated useful life. Older equipment is more likely to fail, and replacement parts can be hard to find. Eaton can help extend the useful life of older equipment through preventative maintenance or by reconditioning or retrofitting to improve capacity to meet or exceed electrical system demands.

Improve energy efficiency

Schools are increasingly under pressure to meet stringent energy efficiency standards and reduce operating costs. Eaton provides solutions that help reduce operating costs by taking a comprehensive approach to power system design and operation to maximize energy saving opportunities. Increase energy efficiency with real-time energy management, reduce the lifecycle costs of electrical systems and increase the operational agility and flexibility of the electrical system.

Enhance safety

The safety of students and faculty is of the utmost importance, and it’s critical to implement solutions that protect, alert and inform. Eaton can provide solutions to meet NFPA requirements with arc flash safety studies, training and products that are designed to reduce outages, alert in case of emergency, provide for uninterruptible power to key systems and facilities, and maintain secure communications within facilities and across networks.
