Luther develops energy conservation program

Luther College has developed a comprehensive Energy Conservation Program that will help the college achieve its goal of reducing the college's greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent.

There are two major goals in the program.  The first is to reduce energy consumption by three percent per year through investments in more energy efficient equipment. The second is to reduce energy consumption by two percent per year through the implementation of an energy awareness educational program.

Luther has reduced its carbon footprint by more than 15 percent in recent years through significant investments in energy efficiency. The college intends to continue this reduction through the newly implemented Energy Conservation Plan.
