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:
A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:
Programmable thermostats in all buildings are set for minimal heating/cooling during off hours and regular comfort zone heating/cooling during hours of use.
A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
The Village student housing facility includes LED lighting as designed for all installed exterior and interior lighting applications; students are provided with LED lightbulbs for personal lights. Exterior lights in the central campus commons area and adjacent parking areas are also LED lighting.
A brief description of passive solar heating, geothermal systems, and related strategies employed by the institution:
Our library and student dorm is oriented and designed to maximize passive solar heating.
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:
We are currently in the process of replacing all lighting to LED fixtures. A previous Energy & Environment class assisted this process by replacing light fixtures in one of our oldest buildings.
