TORONTO, Feb. 18, 2015 /CNW/ - Legend Power Systems
Inc. (LPS.V) ("Legend") is pleased to announce that its energy
saving product, the Harmonizer, has helped OCAD University (OCAD U)
lower the greenhouse emissions of their Toronto campus while saving over $20,000 per year, with a payback period of 2.6
years. The Harmonizer, a device which saves energy by regulating
incoming voltage levels, has reduced the university's greenhouse
gas emissions by 31 metric tons, saving 171,000 kWh per year.
Founded in 1876, OCAD U is one of the first universities in
Canada to save using the
Harmonizer. The Harmonizer is an ideal fit for the "university of
the imagination," being an institution that teaches its students
that collaboration and integration of emerging technologies is of
the utmost importance.
"OCAD U has set a strategic priority of developing and
implementing an institution-wide sustainability plan," says
Christine Wallace, Manager, Building
Projects, Facilities, Planning & Management, OCAD
University. "The Harmonizer will help us advance this vision
and be a leader in emissions reduction for the post-secondary
building sector."
After seeing such positive results with OCAD U, Legend is
excited to assist other collegiate institutions with their energy
efficiency strategies. The environmental and monetary savings
afforded by the Harmonizer provide the opportunity for universities
and colleges to allocate funds towards future educational
initiatives.
"Legend's Harmonizer is proving to be a great fit in the
M.U.S.H. sector; we are fortunate to have forward thinking clients
such as OCAD U utilizing Legend solutions" says Randy Buchamer, Legend President &
CEO.
With the success achieved with OCAD U, there is a large growth
opportunity for Legend to continue to expand and develop
