Sustainability on campus

Existing non-renewable resources will use up sooner or later, developing more renewable energy and sustainability is indeed urgent requirement.

On Friday, the UW-W sustainability coordinator, Wesley, told us some sustainability, which used in the buildings on campus, saving money and protecting environment. For example, there are some solar panels on the top of Hyland Hall, they can collect solar energy to provide to the Hyland Hall, keep the power system working. Including lights, elevator, Air condition, heat, etc.  The glasses of the building are also important. They can keep the heat out in summer and keep the cold out in winter, they save a lot of energy. Especially to Hyer Hall, the oldest building of UW-W, the glasses are so helpful.  Because Hyer Hall is too old to use sustainability, saving energy is very significant.
