A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
IUB has solar photovoltaic systems installed and on the grid on top of four buildings. The Indiana Memorial Union system is rated at 1.88 kW; the Briscoe Quadrangle system is rated at 20.68 kW; the Tulip Tree residence hall system is rated at 5.38 kW; and the E-House system is rated at 4 kW.
IUB has a microturbine inside the Central Heating Plant that works in parallel with the pressure reducing station valves. This turbine reduces the pressure of steam from 150 psi to 40 psi and produces electricity in that process. The microturbine is rated at 250 kW.
The Central Heating Plant also has several demonstration units which produce both solar hot water and PV.
None
A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
Research and Teaching Preserve, Cyberinfrastructure Building (CIB), and Rose Residence Hall all utilize solar hot water.
None
A brief description of off-site, institution-catalyzed, renewable electricity generating devices:
None.
None
A brief description of the RECs and/or similar renewable energy products:
Indiana University Bloomington purchases renewable energy credits from Sterling Planet Inc. The REC type consists of 50% wind and 50% small hydro, where generators are located nationwide. The majority of the energy is sent to seven buildings on campus that are moving towards a LEED silver status, and the remaining is used to offset additional LEED buildings, events, and other activities on campus. Although the amount purchased is concrete, when the University will use part or the entirety of the REC energy is up to their discretion. It is currently planned out over the next four years, but subject to change. The University may also decide to purchase more REC's within this time.
