A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
In June 2008, Santa Clara University re-painted the University Support Services Building with Tex Cote's COOLWALL. COOLWALL® has been tested by the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory to reduce cooling costs by up to 21.9% (percentage savings are based on DOE study which showed savings ranging from 4.2 - 21.9%). Since then many other university buildings have been painted with Tex Cote's COOLWALL: Arts and Science, Bldg 804, Cowell Student Health Center, Bldg 701, Mechanical Engineering, Bldg 402, Bannan Hall, Bldg 405, Pat Malley Fitness and Recreation, Bldg 715, 734 Benton, and the Mission Church, Bldg 101. It will be our intent to continuing specifying the Coolwall paint surface for all campus buildings in the future.
