Documentation to support the performance year energy consumption figures reported above:
---
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:
Outreach and education efforts, seeking energy efficiency proposals for infrastructural improvements
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
---
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
Installation of LEDs
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
Our LEED buildings, the Lorri I. Lokey Graduate School of Business and the Betty Irene Moore Natural Sciences Building, employ passive daylight techniques by utilizing large areas of glazing that filter UV and heat gain.
A brief description of co-generation employed by the institution:
---
A brief description of the institution's initiatives to replace energy-consuming appliances, equipment, and systems with high efficiency alternatives:
Transition to LEDs as current lamps reach end-of-life. Mills is currently in the investigative phase of a comprehensive campus energy audit that could result in substantial energy efficiency improvements and emissions reductions including a campus-wide LED and lighting controls upgrade. In addition we are considering on-site ground mount solar power generation that could provide up to 30% - 40% of our power needs.
