Central State University to be Energized by $20 million Conservation Project
|
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on August 05, 2013 Central State University will implement major energy efficiency and conservation upgrades at a number of buildings on campus using $20 million in financing from the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority (OAQDA). The project will help the university meet the 20 percent reduction goals for energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions targeted in Ohio House Bill 251. (CONTINUED FROM HOMEPAGE BANNER) ~ The Brewer-Garrett Company of Middleburg Heights was selected to implement the project. Energy conservation installations included in the project are interior and exterior lighting, building automation, mechanical upgrades, roof and building envelope improvements and water conservation systems. The project will cut the university’s annual energy consumption by 41 percent, with annual utility savings of over $1 million. In addition, the annual air quality benefits will be significant with reductions that are the equivalent of removing 1,499 passenger cars from the road or powering the electricity usage of 981 homes. The energy conservation initiative is in alignment with "maintaining efficient and effective operations," one of President Cynthia Jackson-Hammond's six compelling priorities.
