A brief description of the technology used:
All Coca-Cola vending machines on the PSU campus are Energy STAR Efficient machines. All Coca-Cola retail coolers on the PSU campus are Energy STAR Efficient machines with EMS-55 (Energy Management System) built in. EMS-55 'smart' controllers can sense changes in the local environment and react to usage patterns, reducing energy consumption by up to 35%. Implemented in 2004, our EMS-55 is used in every piece of new equipment with a capacity of 250L and above.
