Missouri S&T sustainable energy projects nationally recognized - ky3.com: "ROLLA, Mo. - Three years ago, Missouri S&T started a massive geothermal energy project. The unconvential approach will supply energy to fifteen campus buildings as well as the campus chilled-water system.
The project is scheduled to be complete in 2014, but S and T is already being recognized for it.
It won the 2013 Climate Leadership Award from Second Nature, a non-profit that promotes sustainability in higher education in part because of the school's solar village which contains homes powered by solar panels, but also because the geothermal energy project will save the university over a million dollars a year.
The system will replace the school's 60 year old power plant to heat and cool buildings on campus. Officials say it will cut campus energy use in half."
