Energy and Climate
Each year Pacific completes a significant number of energy efficiency projects. These projects typically include installing LED exit signs, more efficient lighting, and adding efficient boilers, air conditioners, and heaters to older campus buildings and residence halls. Pacific promotes lifecycle costing, which includes the installation of high-efficiency heating and cooling systems. New building designs utilize indirect lighting and natural ventilation systems to reduce air-cooling costs and heat gain from solar energy. Despite an expansion of campus facilities in recent years, the overall consumption of energy-both electrical and natural gas-has changed very little on the Pacific campus.
