U of G\u2019s leadership in energy conservation and sustainability has been recognized with a $5.8-million energy-saving incentive from the provincial government\u2019s Save On Energy program. The funding rewards projects that reduce energy consumption.<\/p>\n

The University will use the funds to offset construction costs of its $15-million thermal energy storage system, the only one of its kind in Ontario.<\/p>\n

The thermal energy storage system works like a giant battery. The system chills water at night when energy costs are lower, reducing demands on the provincial power grid.<\/p>\n

Chilled water is piped to the central utilities plant to cool campus facilities during warm daytime hours, and is returned to a giant water tank for nighttime cooling. The 30-metre-tall tank holds 22 million litres of water.<\/p>\n

Since becoming operational this past summer, the facility has reduced U of G\u2019s energy bill by about $2.5 million, in addition to supporting Ontario\u2019s goal of a cleaner and more renewable energy supply.<\/p>\n
