Question

What are some innovative ideas that could be implemented in a large university to make it energy efficient?

Answer 1

turn off lights when they leave room

Answer 2

Live in a hot climate?

Then you could propose innovative AC systems:

- solar cooling through adsorption or absorption chillers

- earth cooling tubes to precool the fresh air from the ground

- install PV

- use geothermal heat pumps for AC

Live in a cold climate?

- insulate everywhere and use an infra red camra to track the leacks

- maximize the window area toward the south

- use geothermal energy to heat

- expand the use of biomass/biowastes as fuel

For all cases:

- switch to efficient lightning

- install solar water heaters

- install everywhere double pane windows

- use cogeneration to produce with the same fuel both the electricity and the heat/cold needed

Answer 3
