Independent testing shows significant energy savings with EcoMode
In today’s environmentally conscious world, and with energy costs at record levels, efficiency is more critical than ever. Recent independent testing of Borg & Overström’s EcoMode technology has been conducted in collaboration with the University of Roehampton to determine the potential savings offered by this energy-saving technology.
This article will help to explain what EcoMode is and how it helps to save energy and illustrate how EcoMode created vast energy savings for the University of Roehampton.
What is EcoMode?
EcoMode is central to reducing energy consumption. This feature intelligently puts the water dispenser into a low-power ‘sleep’ mode when not in use, ensuring that energy is not wasted during periods of inactivity. The result is not only a significant reduction in energy costs but also a smaller environmental footprint, aligning with our efforts to promote sustainability.
Independent testing
A recent case study at the University of Roehampton involved a four-month independent test of the Borg & Overström E6 Chilled only drinking water dispenser with EcoMode, compared to the older B2 model without EcoMode. The aim was to assess and evaluate the energy consumption of each product.
Significant energy savings
The results from the study found that the E6 EcoMode model delivered impressive energy savings of 92% over the 4 months of typical usage, significantly lowering the University’s operational costs. The B2 consumed on average 15 times more energy than that of the E6 Chilled only. By switching to the E6 Chilled only, the university achieved notable cost reductions while also making a positive impact on environmental sustainability.
Why switch to EcoMode?
Incorporating Borg and Overström’s drinking water dispensers with EcoMode technology is a smart choice for any organisation looking to enhance energy efficiency and reduce costs, with potential energy savings of up to 92% as demonstrated in this independent study. By upgrading to an E6 water dispenser, E7 water dispenser, T3 integrated tap, or a T2 integrated tap with EcoMode, a workplace can demonstrate its commitment to both economic and environmental responsibility, making EcoMode technology a stand out option for forward-thinking businesses.
