A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
There is a 13.6 mW solar photovoltaic thin-film laminate system on the roof of the Science & Engineering Building. And there is a 25 mW solar photovoltaic panel system on the roof of Centennial Hall. Since rebates were provided by Colorado Springs Utilities in order to make the projects financially feasible, UCCS does not retain the environmental benefits of these systems.
None
A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
There is a 68 panel solar thermal system on the roof of the Recreation Center that is designed to supply two-thirds of the energy required to heat the swimming pool, but is likely providing more energy than initially calculated.
