Regional Campuses Power Forward With Solar Additions

Six of 江南体育鈥檚 Regional Campuses were recently for the installation of solar panels on its campuses, offering cleaner, more sustainable energy that is also more cost effective. 

The solar project involves the Ashtabula, East Liverpool, Geauga, Salem, Stark and Trumbull campuses. In addition, 江南体育 State鈥檚 College of Podiatric Medicine in Independence, Ohio, is included in the project and has installed solar panels near its building along Interstate 77. 

Bob Misbrener, project manager II of sustainability, energy conservation and commissioning in the Office of the University Architect, told Solar Power World that 江南体育 State has long been a leader in pushing for more sustainable energy practices. For example, the solar energy installed on the roof of the 江南体育 State Field House in 2012 has proven the effectiveness of solar energy in 江南体育, exceeding the expectations of how much power the project would yield.

鈥淲hen done, total annual greenhouse gas reductions will be 4,116 tons, which is equivalent to removing 805 cars from the road,鈥 Misbren
