A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
UIC has installed 224 (52 kW capacity) solar panels on campus, most notably the ones on top of UIC's first LEED Gold certified building, Lincoln Hall. We also have 245 panel (55 kW capacity) on Douglas Hall.
A brief description of on-site renewable non-electric energy devices:
A geothermal well system is used for heating and cooling two "green" buildings currently. This will expand to three in Fall 2011, two of which will be LEED certified. A geothermal heat pump is a central heating and cooling system that uses the earth as a heat source. This design takes advantage of the moderate temperatures in the ground to boost efficiency and reduce the operational costs of heating and cooling systems.
