University of Kansas Becomes More Energy Efficient

LAWRENCE, KS — The University Center for Sustainability has teamed up with with Energy Solutions Professionals to replace energy-consuming light bulbs around The University of Kansas, according to the Daily Kansan. Jeff Servin, director of the center for sustainability, hopes to complete the project by the end of October. "Today, we're trying to get about 150 bulbs out. They've identified about 3,000 lamps on campus that we might be able to change out, so I know their goal is at least a couple thousand bulbs". The new bulbs will also help the university contribute to the Take Charge Challenge, a competition of energy conservation among cities in Kansas. Savings from the new light bulbs looks to be the equivalent of saving more than 9,000 gallons of gasoline each year. Click here to read the complete article.
