This is the default layout most projects will use.
As part of the iCAP and LED Campus initiatives at the University, interior lights will upgraded with LEDs. This is part of the LED Campus commitment to replace all interior fixtures on campus with LEDs by 2050. Responsibility for interior lighting in buildings is dependent on the Division of Responsibility documents for each building.
As part of the iCAP and LED Campus initiatives at the University, exterior lights are being upgraded with LEDs.
The primary deliverable of this proposed project is to provide a detailed waste characterization assessment for three facilities located throughout the Urbana-Champaign campus of the University of Illinois. Lincoln Avenue Residence Halls (LAR), Business Instructional Facility (BIF), Roger Adams Laboratory(RAL) are facilities that will be characterized.
The Illinois Sustainable Technology Center a division of the Prairie Research Institute is part of a pilot project on the University of Illinois campus that will explore methods to capture carbon dioxide from the gas- and coal-fired Abbott Power Plant. The ultimate goal is to reduce CO2 emissions and developing industrial markets that would reuse the recovered CO2. The Department of Energy is funding the $1.3 million engineering and planning phase, representing the DOE’s first sponsorship of a large-scale research and development project for the capture of CO2 emissions.
The Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment (iSEE) is hosting a Community Conversation on Energy Conservation on October 20, 2015. The purpose of this event is to discuss the incentives and opportunities for energy conservation and the barriers that constrain participation by local businesses in energy efficiency projects.
As part of its outreach mission, the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment (iSEE) will host a major international conference each fall. We call it the iSEE Congress.
The 2015 iCAP, chapter 11, objective 3 is, "Organize and promote three major sustainability events on campus each year: Earth Week, Campus Sustainability Week, and the iSEE Congress."
In 2008, our campus signed the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment, formally committing to become carbon neutral as soon as possible, and no later than 2050. The first Illinois Climate Action Plan (iCAP) was developed in 2010 as a comprehensive roadmap towards a sustainable campus environment. The present 2015 iCAP was developed using the Procedure for Formulating and Evaluating Campus Sustainability Policies & Initiatives, with many 2010 iCAP targets restated or revised and new targets added.
The replacement of incandescent lighting in the audience chambers of each of the three major performance spaces in KCPA has a threefold purpose. Its primary purpose is to remove from service incandescent lighting that has been in place for nearly 50 years and is very energy inefficient. Beyond the energy efficiency issue is the efficiency of personnel who maintain the facility because of 1,500 light bulbs in question that have to be changed frequently, plus the safety issues involved in accessing many of the ceilings that are 35 to 56 feet above the floor.
Printer cartridges come in many varieties, and so do the recycling options. Because these items are considered consumable supplies, they don’t have the same stringent state regulations over disposal that equipment does. The university has the right to dispose of waste stream items like this in the most economical and prudent manner. There is not currently a university-wide recycling program for printer/toner cartridges, so departments are encouraged to identify the best option for their program. Here are some possibilities:
