Brock U Begins $100M Decarbonization Initiative
The university recently launched a three-year clean infrastructure program that is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 83 percent by 2028. The initiative includes converting lights to LEDs, installing new efficient hot water heat pumps, optimizing building automation system controls, upgrading air handling units and fume hoods, and more.
U Wolverhampton Intiaties Decarbonization Project
The university's new $14.7 million ($11 million British pounds) decarbonization effort includes replacing gas-fired equipment and end of life boilers with an air-to-water heat pump system, recovering chilled water, and installing photovoltaics and a network of district heating pipes that will supply low carbon heat. A living lab will also be established, allowing academics and students to study the impacts of the heat pump technology, solar and energy conservation measures.
Oberlin College Achieves Carbon Neutrality
The college is now carbon neutral through a variety of approaches, including a net-zero commercial building, over three megawatts of clean energy, energy efficiency measures, and a ground-source heating and cooling system.
