UWW Sustainable

Last Friday, we had a tour at the UWW campus with Wesley Enterline, and he showed us several things that the UWW do to be sustainable. Things that may look like nothing, but are very important, for example the windows, that preserve the temperature inside the buildings, so we can use less power with the air conditioner, or even recycle the remaining of demolished building to build a new one.

Also he answered my principal question: Do you have solar panels ate the campus? If so, what is the energy used to? How much does it helps to economize energy?

He said that yes, there are several solar panels at the UWW (at Hyland Hall), and the energy generated only supports 2% of the whole building. It may look like nothing, but the build itself uses a lot of energy.

I really enjoyed the tour, I didn't noticed most of the things that are being done here to be sustainable.
