Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In addition to the motion sensors on the Edmonton Coin Vending machines, all new snack machines are equipped with LED lighting, reducing energy use.
The university also participates in an energy saving initiative with Coca-Cola, which includes 80 machines that turn their lights off between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and an EMS-55 energy management system. EMS-55 is a “smart” temperature control unit for cold drink equipment; it can increase energy efficiency by up to 35 per cent by developing a user profile for each piece of equipment that regulates how often the cooling compressor needs to operate to ensure cold drinks are dispensed.
