IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
February 2009 - UAHuntsville's first
Christmas Break Energy
Savings Plan has proven successful. Utilities expenses for the
two week period were down approximately $25,000 from the prior year. With record
utilities rates, increased campus population and building development, this savings
is a great first step
towards reducing our energy consupmtion and carbon emissions footprint.
All faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to continue their energy conservation efforts.
Not only will you be helping to sustain and protect our environment, but in these times of
shrinking funding for higher education you will also be helping to protect and sustain our University.
Energy Management
The Facilities and Operations division has University-wide responsibility for leading the effort to
minimize energy use and for implementing the energy management program. The program seeks to both
achieve energy savings and minimize the environmental impact of UAHuntsville's current and future
operations.
The energy management program at UAHuntsville is a comprehensive program that considers all opportunities
for achieving energy savings. This includes:
- Development and implementation of energy conservation measures
- Implementation of energy saving operations and maintenance procedures
- Utilization of an extensive University-wide building energy management system
- A University-wide commitment to modifying local behavior to decrease energy consumption and
promote the use of sustainable energy alternatives
Send your energy savings ideas or report energy waste
issues to the UAHuntsville Energy Manager at uahem@uah.edu.
