Energy Cost Efficiency A 2009 Advisory Board Company report looked at energy cost per
square foot at public and private institutions of higher education:Average: $2.58Best-in-Class: $1.49 Ball State: $1.85 (32% below average)
Numerous energy efficiency measures are already in place – automatic temperature controls, lighting sensors, high efficiency lighting, computer energy savings, etc.
Our geothermal project and other new initiatives will continue to improve on these numbers
