Maximising Energy Efficiency: ZPN BIZ And HUBZ For University Energy Management

Josh Clarkin • May 3, 2024

As stewards of both education and resources, universities are constantly seeking innovative ways to manage energy consumption effectively while also exploring avenues for revenue generation. With ZPN BIZ Business Energy Management Systems in tandem with HUBZ battery-backed rapid EV charging and onsite renewables, universities can transform their energy management strategies, create new revenue streams, and significantly reduce energy costs. Here's how these integrated solutions can help your institution achieve these goals.


Utilising HUBZ Battery-Powered Chargers For Off-Peak Energy Storage

HUBZ battery-powered chargers provide universities with a unique opportunity to leverage off-peak energy. These chargers can draw energy during periods of low demand and store it for premium markup rates during peak hours. By strategically managing energy consumption and storage, universities can optimise their revenue potential while reducing strain on the grid. This not only benefits the institution financially but also contributes to overall energy efficiency.


Installing On-Site Renewables For Energy Generation

Maximising available real estate, such as rooftops and open spaces, enables universities to install onsite renewables like solar PV systems. These renewable energy sources generate clean, sustainable power that can be utilised to offset energy consumption or sold back to the grid. By generating their own energy, universities can significantly reduce their reliance on external energy sources, thereby lowering energy bills and contributing to a more sustainable energy ecosystem.


Reducing Energy Bills And Enhancing Reliability

Utilising on-site renewables not only helps universities cut energy costs but also enhances reliability by providing a backup source of power during grid strain and blackouts. During peak demand periods or grid disruptions, onsite renewable energy sources continue to power essential campus operations, ensuring continuity of services for students, faculty, and visitors. This increased reliability not only safeguards against potential disruptions but also enhances the institution's reputation for reliability and sustainability.


Conclusion: Embracing Integrated Energy Solutions

In an era where energy efficiency and sustainability are paramount, universities must embrace integrated energy management solutions to achieve their goals effectively. By combining ZPN BIZ Business Energy Management Systems with HUBZ battery-backed rapid EV charging and on-site renewables, universities can optimise energy usage, create new revenue streams, and enhance reliability. These solutions not only benefit the institution financially but also contribute to a more sustainable future for education and the broader community.
