---
A brief description of the on-site renewable electricity generating facilities/devices:
The University has a series of research photo-voltaic solar panels that generate electricity. The primary function of these panels, however, is research and not to reduce or offset environmental impacts.

Optional Fields
Sierra magazine requests the following information from U.S. institutions that wish to share data with that organization:
| Percentage of total electricity use (0-100) | |
| Biomass | 0 |
| Coal | 0 |
| Geothermal | 0 |
| Hydro | 24 |
| Natural gas | 10 |
| Nuclear | 60 |
| Solar photovoltaic | 0 |
| Wind | 6 |
| Other (please specify and explain below) | 0 |
A brief description of other sources of electricity not specified above:
The gas number includes some oil
Energy used for heating buildings, by source::
| Percentage of total energy used to heat buildings (0-100) | |
| Biomass | 0 |
| Coal | 0 |
| Electricity | 20 |
| Fuel oil | 0 |
| Geothermal | 0 |
| Natural gas | 80 |
| Other (please specify and explain below) | --- |
A brief description of other sources of building heating not specified above:
The University of Ottawa employees heat capture technology in many of its buildings (especially buildings that have undergone deep energy retrofits). Heat from the metabolic activity of the machinery and people inside the buildings are recirculated to reduce heating from natural gas. This energy is expressed through the electricity used to operate these heat harvesting systems.
