Imported steam, hot water, and/or chilled water from certified/verified clean and renewable sources | 0 MMBtu |
A brief description of the clean and renewable stationary fuels:
ARD's building solar thermal pre-heats water for kitchen and bathroom sinks.
At the Health and Learning Building 35 percent of the domestic hot water is provided by 51 solar thermal panels on the building's roof. This renewable energy source exceeds three percent of the total building energy usage.
We have two innovative solar hot air heating systems and a solar wall system: http://nau.edu/Green-NAU/Renewable/

A brief description of other sources of building heating not specified above:
NAU's primary heating is through centralized steam and high temperature hot water systems.
We have two innovative solar hot air heating systems and a solar wall system: http://nau.edu/Green-NAU/Renewable/
There are surely a few small space heaters in offices across campus that are not counted or metered.
