Description
Background
For decades, students, faculty, and staff have worked to incorporate clean energy solutions for campus operations.
- The Student Sustainability Committee (SSC) was originally formed in 2005, well before the first iCAP in 2010, to manage the student fees collected in support of on-campus wind.
- In 2009, our first LEED Certified building on campus, the Business Instructional Facility, included rooftop solar, and became the first medium-scale solar on campus. Since then, the Solar Energy on Campus has continued to thrive and expand.
- In 2014, the first-ever SWATeam recommendation (EGen001) was about entering into an off-campus Wind Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
- Clean thermal energy on campus includes a 198kW biomass boiler at the Energy Farm, solar thermal water heating at the Activities Rec Center, and several geothermal installations.
