Nazareth College has been aggressive in its energy management. The following is a list of green initiatives that have been taken on our campus.

• Energy efficient motors, lights, boilers, and chillers are all used on campus.
• Variable Speed Motor Drives – the drives slow the motors to match the speed needed for the load and save energy at the slower speed.
• Computerized energy management systems lower/raise temperatures and turn air moving equipment on/off based of the occupancy of designated spaces.
• Low water flow toilets, sinks, and shower faucets all dispense fewer gallons of water.
• Campus Residence Halls and some academic buildings have low occupancy during the month of December, allowing temperature set backs and reduced energy.
• We recycle. One ton of paper made from recycled scrap saves 4100 kilowatt-hours of energy; recycling one ton of glass saves the energy equivalent of 10 gallons of oil.
• Buildings’ insulation, windows and doors were upgraded to reduce the need for energy.
• Our housekeeping staff uses cleaning products that are environmentally safe.
• The Facilities Department currently operates a green fleet, including 4 fully electric cars and two electric golf carts.
