UC energy savings could top $30M
The 10 University of California campuses expect to save $36
million in annual utility costs after a series of green initiatives
that include replacing 500 energy-intensive computer servers at UC San
Deigo with 270 servers that require about half the electricity. The server replacement will save the university $680,000 by slashing
energy consumption by 7.9 million kilowatt-hours per year, according to
projections released by the 1,200-acre campus, home to more than 27,000
students.
