The commitment paves the way for over $30 million in avoided operating expenses, a reduction in energy use intensity of 41%, and cutting edge green building standards
The change paves the way for the strategic incorporation of sustainability in operations, education and research to address the economic, environmental, and social justice facets
Together, the committees investigate and support sustainable solutions such as micro-mobility programs and the use of reclaimed water for evaporative cooling
UCF’s sustainability goals are:
Using reclaimed water reduces 25-30 million gallons of water pulled from the aquifer per year and avoids $75,000 in operating expenses
