A brief description of the institution's initiatives to shift individual attitudes and practices in regard to energy efficiency:

Implementation of Heating and Cooling schedules that follow building specific occupancy statuses.


A brief description of energy use standards and controls employed by the institution:

Temperatures and electrical functions monitored remotely by Facilities.


A brief description of Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting and other energy-efficient lighting strategies employed by the institution:
