Energy Efficiency,Sustainability, and Greenness of Robinson Hall

Energy Efficiency… : 

Energy Efficiency… Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs (CFLs) Uses 75 percent less energy Last about 10 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs Dimmer Switches Dimming lights by a quarter increases savings by 20% (Sound Enabled)

Energy Efficiency : 

Energy Efficiency Programmable Thermostats Conserves energy when rooms are not occupied Timers Time lights to be in use while classes are in session Motion sensors Lights only turn on when room is being used (Sound Enabled)

Sustainability… : 

Sustainability… High-Efficiency sink faucets Reduce the flow rate of water to decrease water waste by 32% Utilize natural ventilation systems Saves between 10 and 30% of total energy consumption More natural lighting through windows 25-40% of energy consumption is from lighting (Sound Enabled)

Sustainability : 

Sustainability Implement a moisture control system Reduces mold (increases human health) Increases life of building materials Reduces humidity levels (less use of air conditioning) Example: Lack of moisture control in Robinson Hall (Sound Enabled)

Going Green… : 

Going Green… Going paperless Make electronic syllabi mandatory Require assignments to be turned in through e-mail Double sided printing in all computer labs Use natural cleaning products All ingredients are biodegradable Bottle’s are made from recycled material Leave’s behind no chemical residue (Sound Enabled)

Going Green… : 

Going Green… Sell and offer discounts at snack stands for use of reusable beverage containers such as: Nalgene products (eliminates bottled water) Reusable coffee or tea thermos Hire an outside contractor to improve overall greenness such as Building Efficiency: Custom Energy Upgrades http://www.buildingefficiency.net/com/sevices.html (Sound Enabled)
