A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
Energy Systems and Sustainability Management, in conjunction with Auxiliary Services, installed 240 solar thermal panels on the roofs of 20 buildings, serving 160 three-bedroom South Campus apartments in 2013. A total of 40 systems, six panels per system were installed to save energy by harnessing the energy from the sun instead of using traditional electricity to heat water in the apartments. In addition the systems are an education and awareness tool for the campus community about renewable energy technology.
