Conservation Heroes with Mayor Paul Schell, June 20, 2001
 
Seattle University routinely upgrades its energy systems for maximum efficiency. But since City Light's call for conserving 10 percent, Seattle U. has gone the extra mile.
  • The university has reduced exterior lighting at night at several campus landmarks: the Administration Building tower, chapel bell tower, Quad fountain, chapel pool, and all campus perimeter accent lighting.
  • A special senior project by an ecological study group researched the conservation efforts of similar institutions and developed ideas for Seattle University. They plan to continue the project next year and will monitor changes made by the university.
  • Seattle University established an Energy Conservation Committee. Proposed projects resulted in a base budget utility reduction of $400,000 over a six-year period -- in spite of the addition to the campus of 59,000 square feet of building space and a new sports field.
  • The administration provided all faculty and staff with an extensive list of suggestions for reducing energy use, including reducing lighting, turning off office equipment when not in use and limiting use of space heaters. Employees were also advised to limit use of electricity during peak-demand hours.
