SmartSynch Partners with the University of Mississippi to Lower Campus Power Consumption with Smart Meters and Social Networking Tools

SmartSynch has partnered with the University of Mississippi (UM) to reduce the power consumption of campus buildings while publishing real-time results for the general public on Facebook, Twitter and RSS feeds. SmartSynch is working with UM to design an online dashboard for SmartSynch SmartMeters, which will enable the university to monitor, analyze and report on energy utilization among its campus buildings in real-time to social networking websites. The program is part of UM's "Red, Blue and Green" campaign.

Through the deployment of SmartSynch SmartMeters, UM hopes to identify a detailed pattern of electricity usage at its buildings and, using the smart meter data, determine methods to alter behavior to reduce electricity consumption and carbon emissions.
