Residence Halls Go Green

The following “green” items were incorporated into the construction of the Stevenson Lane Residence:

  1. Energy efficient lighting fixtures

  2. Energy efficient glass, Low E, high shading coefficient

  3. Recessed window openings for sun shading

  4. Rain screen exterior building envelope with exterior insulation which promotes “thermal flywheel” effect

  5. Recycled (and recyclable) carpet fiber

  6. Source heat pumps, which are more efficient that air cooled systems

  7. Energy recovery units, which recover heating and cooling from air being exhausted to the outside

  8. High efficiency boilers and water heaters

  9. High efficient frequency drives on the water source heat pump for more efficient system operation
