A 2009 Advisory Board Company report looked at energy cost per
square foot at public and private institutions of higher education:
Average:
$2.58
Best-in-Class:

Numerous energy efficiency measures are already in place –
automatic temperature controls, lighting sensors, high efficiency
lighting, computer energy savings, etc.
Our geothermal project and other new initiatives will continue to
improve on these numbers
