In the 2012/2013 academic year, the UHH may pay over $5.5 million<br />

We cannot afford to continue diverting so much money away from<br />
education to pay HELCO<br />

Switching to a coffee machine with an<br />
insulated pot and no element ma<strong>ke</strong>s a<br />
BIG difference. If half our 550 offices<br />
have coffee machines and all switched<br />
to insulated, no element machines, we<br />
could save over $100,000 per year!<br />
Would you turn off your computer at the<br />
end of your work day? "Sleep mode" still<br />
uses substantial electricity. If 550 who leave<br />
their computers on, switched off their<br />
computers at the end of the day, we could<br />
save more than $80,000/ann.<br />

Recommended Lighting levels<br />
Reading and writing: 30 fc, Computer Room: 20 fc, Hallway: 10 fc<br />
A group of students and I have been taking light level readings across<br />
campus. Here is a sample of lighting energy waste:<br />
Hallway of the Life Science Office building: 10.3 fc<br />
Library computer lab: 49.1fc<br />
Wentworth Hallway: range walking down the hall from 40fc (between light<br />
fixtures) to 120 fc (which is the recommended light level for doing surgery)<br />
Science and Technology Hallway: range walking down the hall from 10fc<br />
(good) to 110 fc (lit for surgery)<br />
STB 226: 85.9 fc<br />
STB 108 Light Setting #1: 61 fc<br />
Light setting #2 38 fc,<br />
Light setting #3: 38 at the top of the class, 30 fc in the middle, 20 near front<br />
Agriculture Building room 203: 99.6fc<br />
Agriculture Building 201: 133fc<br />

We waste waste!<br />
During orientation week,<br />
we managed to divert over<br />
99% of the waste produced<br />
by New Freshmen<br />
Orientation events to<br />
either recycling or<br />
compost.<br />
That 99% would have gone<br />
to our overflowing landfill.<br />
We could do this every<br />
day!<br />
