Construction has begun on the West Campus District Energy Conversion Project 카지노 게임 컬렉션� a $10.5 million retrofit that will replace an inefficient 46-year-old underground steam line with a new heating system. Transitioning to the new infrastructure will reduce Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션�s greenhouse gas emissions by another 1,500 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year. The project was made possible through an $8.9 million provincial government funding contribution.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s has made tremendous progress toward the sustainability and fiscal goals laid out in our Climate Action Plan,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Donna Janiec, Vice-Principal (Finance and Administration). 카지노 게임 컬렉션�With projects like the West Campus District Energy Conversion Project underway, we continue to push toward our target of being carbon neutral by 2040.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Work on the West Campus District Energy Conversion Project is scheduled to be completed by April 2019. Plans involve decommissioning a 2.5-kilometre steam line that runs underground along Union Street from the Central Heating Plant on main campus to West Campus. New, more efficient boiler systems at West Campus locations will be installed. The upgrade will address a $9 million deferred maintenance liability and put Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s on pace to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a cumulative 33,000 metric tonnes over the next two decades.

This project follows the successful completion of the CAPit Program, which saw over 9,000 fluorescent tube lights replaced, 1,666 LED lights retrofitted, and upgrades to more than 3,000 toilets, showers, and faucets. Between building envelope repairs, climate control improvements, and 170 other conservation measures, these upgrades resulted in a 2,800-tonne reduction in carbon emissions, and a 185,000-cubic metre reduction in water usage across 66 buildings at Queen's 카지노게임사이트.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�That카지노 게임 컬렉션�s the equivalent of taking 944 mid-sized cars off Canadian roads and conserving 84 Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Centre swimming pools worth of water,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Aaron Ball, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Sustainability Manager. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�These figures, together with the projected reductions from the steam line project, show us that real results are possible 카지노 게임 컬렉션� and we are excited to carry this momentum forward as we identify more ways to promote and enhance sustainability at the university.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
