Campus Energy Conservation

The university is working on a green track record while improving current water and energy facilities.
"Once completed, the project will provide energy savings equivalent to removing 206,939 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which is comparable to removing 41,387 cars from the roads or planting 56,287 acres of trees." (http://inhouse.unt.edu/air-conditioning-lighting-and-tracking-program-will-boost-campus-energy-conservation). Preliminary projects have begun as Schneider Electric surveys the affected buildings. Water cooling systems across campus will be streamlined for efficiency while they are expanded. The campus will also be implementing features such as centrally controlled light with motion sensors.
