Inside IUPUI Events and Announcements

Energy Savings Realized in Campus Center

Campus Facilities Services (CFS) and the Campus Center are pleased to announce a power savings initiative in respect to the escalators located in the Campus Center.

As a result of a recent CFS energy savings study it was determined that wear and tear on equipment and $5,000 in utility costs would be saved if the escalators were turned off seven hours per night.

Effective Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009, the escalators at the Campus Center are turned off at the time the building closes each night and turned back on each morning when the Campus Center opens to the public.
