| Freezer Challenge |
"The International Laboratory Freezer Challenge promotes sample accessibility, sample integrity, reduced costs, and energy efficiency by harnessing a spirit of competition within and between laboratories. Challenge participants use well-evidenced criteria and best practices that support science quality and resilience while minimizing total costs and environmental impacts of sample storage." |
| Vet Med Prairies |
A tall grass prarie garden that mimics the natural Illinois prairie landscape of Illinois was planted on the Vet Med Campus. The garden consists of 40 to 50 different plants and around 7,000 seedlings. The Student Sustainability funded the project for $20,000 to cover all costs excluding labor, which will be done by volunteers. |
| Vet Med ESCO |
Efficiently Deliverying Green Energy at the Vet Med Complex The Facilities and Services team has partnered with Energy Systems Group (ESG) a leading energy services provider, to develop a comprehensive energy savings performance contract (ESCO) project at the Veterinary Medicine Complex. The Vet Med ESCO project will provide innovative energy efficiency and technology, demonstrable energy savings, and long-term financing solutions for modernization of our facilities and energy infrastructure. The expected energy reduction for this project is 40 percent. |
| Vet Med Miscanthus CHP Boiler [ARCHIVED] |
The Vet Med Miscanthus Combined Heat and Power Boiler system was envisioned to utilize the energy crops grown from the Energy Farm, to provide power to the Veterinary Medicine buiding complex. It would also allow researchers to do test burns of various energy crops grown on campus. However, there were many questions about the project, including the operating program, the field to flame methodology for the energy crops, and the power generation output. After many discussions and evaluations, campus decided that this project would not meet the goals set. It would not provide significant a |
