The latest results from "Lights Out 16-56" pilot program to increase lighting efficiency shows a decline of 1-2 hours in overnight lighting, and a 16%-17% increase in occupancy efficiency for labs with at least 2 program participants.
Solar Air Conditioning System (SACS)
The MIT Solar Air Conditioning System (SACS) aims to reduce energy consumption of buildings on campus, demonstrate and promote the innovative SACS technology, and illustrate MIT’s leadership in green energy development. The SACS demo project will also serve as an educational program for MIT students and faculty.
Revolving Doors
You’ve probably seen the signs around campus, “Help MIT save energy. Please use the revolving door.” But does it really make any difference? Absolutely. On average 8x as much air is exchanged when a swing door is opened as opposed to a revolving door. That's 8x as much new air that needs to be heated or cooled and that's why using the revolving door is a great way to reduce energy requirements on campus.
Wind Week 2009
