Ballston Lake, NY (September 22, 2022)— The University of Northwestern Ohio (UNOH) is announcing a $3.1 million project across 28 buildings on the school's campus in Lima, OH, to improve energy efficiency and replace critical assets on campus. Additionally, the upgrades will provide healthier and more comfortable facilities for students and staff.
UNOH's efficiency upgrades will include new LED Lighting, HVAC replacements, HVAC motor upgrades, and new water upgrades. The project provides decarbonization benefits and is expected to reduce the annual emissions of CO2 by 957 metric tons. Electric savings of 1,941,582 kWh are expected each year – the equivalent of powering 278 homes. Water savings of 7,366,000 gallons are also expected to be achieved annually. The maintenance project will occur across academic, residential, athletic, retail, and staff buildings.
"Implementing broad-ranging upgrades for our buildings and facilities will do more than just save UNOH energy and water - it will reduce operational costs, simplify facility maintenance, and enhance the comfort of our students and staff," said Steven Brown, Vice President of Property Management, UNOH.
