Running a college or university takes a huge amount of energy. Classrooms, labs, libraries, dorms, and stadiums all need steady power to operate every day. When those systems aren’t reliable, the whole campus feels it. That’s why schools turn to Salient Power Solutions for dependable power and automation services built for higher education.
Salient helps universities keep their campuses running with modern power distribution, automation integration, and control system upgrades. Our work makes it easier for schools to cut energy waste, reduce downtime, and give facilities teams more control over daily operations.

Universities aren’t like single buildings; they’re more like small cities. Each campus has many systems that need to work together, from heating and cooling to lighting, lab equipment, and security. Salient provides higher education power control solutions that give schools safe, reliable, and efficient power across the entire campus.
We understand that every college has different needs. Some are updating older systems that no longer meet today’s standards. Others are expanding into new buildings and want smarter technology from the start. Salient designs and installs solutions that match those goals while preparing for future growth.
Automation is one of the most effective ways universities can improve daily operations and long-term energy management. With the right setup, facilities teams can see how systems are running in real time, adjust power use based on demand, and catch problems before they grow into major issues. Salient’s higher education automation control solutions make this possible for schools of every size.
Every campus is different. Some have central plants and large utility networks, while others manage multiple smaller systems spread across many buildings. Our engineers design automation systems that fit these unique setups. By blending new technology with existing campus power systems, we create solutions that minimize disruption while boosting efficiency.
Installing and programming automation takes more than just connecting equipment; it requires precision and planning. Salient manages every step of automation installation, making sure systems are properly configured and tested. Once online, the controls are easy for staff to use, so facility managers can make quick adjustments without complicated processes.
Over time, older automation systems become difficult to maintain and may no longer communicate with modern equipment. Salient specializes in control system upgrades that replace outdated panels, software, and devices with current technology. These improvements reduce energy waste, enhance safety, and make it easier to integrate newer automation tools across campus.
Even strong systems need attention over time. Salient provides repair, replacement, and maintenance services so universities can avoid sudden outages and costly downtime. Our team focuses on preventing problems before they start and keeping equipment in top condition.
A campus has many buildings that all depend on a steady flow of electricity. Salient designs power distribution solutions that spread energy safely and efficiently to where it’s needed most. From dorms to research labs, we make sure the right systems stay powered at the right time.
Outdated panels can slow down operations and pose safety risks. Salient helps schools modernize with upgraded panels and controls. These updates give facilities more reliable service, prepare buildings for higher energy demands, and improve overall safety.
Today’s universities need more than just reliable power; they need visibility into how their systems are performing. Salient installs SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, which enable facility teams to monitor, track, and adjust equipment across the entire campus from a central location.
With these tools, managers can:
By combining SCADA with automation, Salient gives schools a smarter, more connected way to run their campuses. These solutions also support sustainability goals by helping institutions reduce carbon footprints and meet energy-efficiency targets.
Universities face challenges that go far beyond keeping the lights on. Power disruptions in a research lab can halt critical experiments. Outdated panels in a residence hall can create safety risks for hundreds of students. Rising energy costs can strain budgets that should be supporting academic programs. Salient understands these pressures and delivers solutions built to meet them.
With experience in automation integration for universities, power distribution design, and control system upgrades, our team helps campuses stay reliable, efficient, and future-ready. From building out new STEM facilities to modernizing older lecture halls, Salient works side by side with facilities managers to create systems that make a lasting difference for students and staff.
