we’ve started to walk the walk 1.carpools 2.recycle 3.retrofit windows & insulation 4.community garden 5.replace boilers 6.geothermal 7.wind research green to date
14
5.replace boilers ‐ natural gas ‐ low-efficiency high-efficiency $130k spent to date
15
green to date 6.geothermal ‐ Reimer SLC opened in 2009 ‐ $5 million $500,000 for geothermal fundraised from non-government sources ‐ ~25,000 sq ft 10% of total campus building footprint
16
green to date 7.wind research ‐ wind study ‐ environmental study
17
1.carpools 2.recycle 3.retrofit 4.community garden 5.replace boilers 6.geothermal 7.wind research 8.biomass heating green now GOAL: replace ~2/3s of our natural gas use
19
green now Providence’s renewable energy formula: electricity + geothermal + biomass = #2 campus in Canada #1: University of Northern British Columbia
