A brief description of cogeneration technologies deployed:
The campus Cogeneration Plant, placed in service in 1994, uses natural gas and landfill gas as fuel sources to produce approximately 70 percent of the campus’ electricity needs. Waste heat from the production of electricity, along with additional natural gas, is used to produce steam for campus heating and for humidification, cooking, and sterilization. Steam is also used to produce a portion of the chilled water used to air condition many of the campus buildings. Together these mechanisms provide 90% of the energy for the entire campus.
