A brief description of the technology used:
All University Vending Machines are equipped with energy efficiency features. The University uses Royal vending machines on campus, which are equipped with Econo-cool Technology that saves up to 50% on energy consumption. These venders meet or exceed the current Energy Star, Tier 2 requirements by utilizing new lighting, new evaporator fan/motor, new cooling systems, software features, and quieter operation technology. During non operation hours the machine will go into a standby mode and reduce the holding temp, reducing the refrigeration cycles. The University also uses Dixie-Narco vending machines with T-8 lighting, Vendo-Sanden venders with Energy Star Rated Technology, and Taher machines with LED lighting.
