Search tips:
  • This form will search for words in the title OR the description. If you would like to search for the same term(s) across both the title and description, enter the same search term(s) in both fields.
  • This form will search for any of the words you enter in a field, not the exact phrase you enter. If you would like to search for an exact phrase, put double quotes (") around the phrase. For example, if you search for Bike Path you will get results containing either the word Bike OR the word Path, but if you search for "Bike Path" you will get results containing the exact phrase Bike Path.

  2. Campus Energy Video

    Associated Project(s): 
    Centralized Energy Efficiency Efforts
    Reduce Emissions from Energy Consumption
    Independent Student Projects

    A UIUC student created a video about the UIUC energy systems and submitted it to the 2023 IDEA Student Video Contest. 

    The 2023 IDEA Student Video Contest can be found at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLrt4X0EOGA 

    The video was the second place winner of the contest. 

  10. Stewarding Excellence Reports

    Associated Project(s): 
    Reduce Emissions from Energy Consumption
    Building-Level Energy Efficiency

    In 2010, the Chancellor's Office coordinated a program called "Stewarding Excellence." This process formed teams about key financial issues on campus, and developed reports on Next Steps to make improvements.  The files for Utilities and Space are both posted here.  The full list is available online at http://oc.illinois.edu/budget/.

    Associated Project(s): 
    Reduce Emissions from Energy Consumption

    Energy conservation is considered the easiest and most cost-effective way to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Opportunities for conservation on campus are great. In order to reduce emissions, the Climate Action Plan has laid out potential energy savings on campus in areas such as lighting, building commissioning, fume hoods, behavioral change and incentives, and information technology. All of these areas are prospective energy saving components and can contribute to a more sustainable campus.

  15. FY14 Energy Consumption Report

    Associated Project(s): 
    Reduce Emissions from Energy Consumption

    Campus Leaders:

    Energy conservation continues to be an important initiative in support of the Campus Strategic Plan as well as a critical component for meeting our sustainability commitments in concert with the Illinois Climate Action Plan (ICAP). To give you some scale about our overall energy use, it’s the annual equivalent energy use of over 52,000 homes and that doesn’t include Petascale.

  16. The Illinois Energy Enterprise

    Associated Project(s): 
    Reduce Emissions from Energy Consumption

    The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is looking to the future and developing a strategy to meet the evolving energy needs of the campus. After several years of addressing deficiencies in utility production, distribution, and monitoring, the campus is proactively shaping its energy enterprise. The university is uniquely positioned to serve as a large-scale laboratory to test theories and potential technological advancements through collaboration with faculty members, researchers, and industry partners.
