Energy Projects

Dallas Hall through the seasons

Energy Programs include campus wide energy savings initiatives as well as individual or one time energy conservation projects that result in a measurable reduction in energy demand and consumption. 黑料老司机is committed to improving energy efficiency to minimize impact of the cost of utilities and new construction.
Long-term and seasonal energy conservation measures (ECM) are benchmarked and monitored carefully.
Upon implementation, measured results are analyzed and reported.
