ENERGY EFFICIENCY
27) What programs or technologies has your school implemented to improve energy efficiency (e.g., cogeneration plant, retro commissioning of HVAC systems, performing system tune-ups, temperature setbacks)? Within the Formal Energy Policy, efficiency is a goal. Heating and cooling systems are being updated. The campus environment and physical plant department schedules many buildings for night and weekend temperature setbacks during unoccupied periods in order to increase building efficiency during low-demand periods. Retro-commissioning has been actively managed for over a decade by the energy management team. The team is involved with mechanical repair of deficiencies identified through the inspection and condition assessment phase of annual energy audits that take place. The energy audits are an ongoing program to retro commission mechanical and electrical systems within campus buildings, with particular emphasis on optimizing essential heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that consume significant quantities of energy. In the last three years, over 60 major buildings have been retro-commissioned and have received system tune-ups.
ENERGY CONSERVATION

[X] Yes. Please describe: The University of Toledo has consistently committed to more sustainable practices. The University recently created a new recycling label, and slogan that will be used on many emails, signage, and other forms of communication throughout campus. The new slogan, “Blue and Gold makes Green,” will remind everyone ways they can be more environmentally friendly. Moreover, the University has established a Go Green Committee to coordinate, and plan sustainability efforts throughout the University. This campus wide focus on awareness culminates in the annual Earthfest. Earthfest is hosted by the University’s Society for Environmental Education. The event hosts speakers on sustainability, and a number of other activities aimed at raising campus-wide awareness.

A program called Blackout, a month-long program (in October) that started in 2007, aims to encourage students to conserve energy and reduce waste. T-shirts are used as incentives for student participation as well as publicizing future Blackouts. Besides encouraging students to turn off their lights and unplug their electronic devices, part of the program also encourages students to use energy efficient light bulbs. Thanks to the UT Blackout program, initiated by residents living on campus, the university has saved about $14,000.
The UT community also participates in Earth Hour, which took place on March 28, 2008. Everyone on campus was encouraged to turn off lights for one hour to you are casting a vote for action on climate change.

The community will operate as a social networking group where bikers can talk about gear, equipment, safer routes to work and vacation bike touring, according to Diana Sharp, who works in the College of Law's Legal Clinic and is the program’s founder. The group also will keep a collective tally of the gallons of gas saved by deciding not to drive to work every day. They also plan to use public transportation and carpooling as alternatives to getting to UT during the winter.
There are traffic control devices (gates) to limit traffic in the center of campus to emergency vehicles and deliveries (though with ongoing construction projects the gates are not currently used). Signs are posted to restrict traffic and we enforce and gain compliance through ticketing.
There is a university policy that speaks to the parking and traffic rules. In the policy under (6) (C) (ii) pedestrians have the right away in crosswalks at all times, except at signal controlled intersections (like Douglas Rd.). Signs are going up before fall indicating pedestrian right of way at certain high traffic intersections. The policy is located at http://www.utoledo.edu/policies/administration/police/pdfs/3364_61_01.pdf
There is a project ongoing right now to create a "bike corral" on the east side of the West Ramp.
