Grant for a greener University
1 JANUARY 2003
Energy and water saving initiatives at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga have attracted further NSW Government support under its Climate Change Fund. The $75 000 grant through the Fund’s Public Facilities Program will enable CSU to continue to install devices such as timers, energy efficient lighting upgrades, flow control technology for showers, sinks and basins in at least 10 University buildings including student residences, offices and Joyes Hall. Some funds will be used by the University to produce a video showing how the savings are being made. “Charles Sturt University has already invested $300 000 in 2008 to install energy and water saving devices into a number of buildings on Wagga Wagga Campus by the company, Ecosave,” said Energy Manager at CSU Mr Ed Maher. “The latest funding will allow us to further this work and reduce carbon pollution by an estimated 250 tonnes and save over 7.8 million litres of water each year.” The work by Ecosave to install the new devices is due to be completed by March.
