Energy conservation key
in light of increased costs
■ Campus officials are finding
ways to save energy now that
costs are through the roof
By Brooke Ross
Oregon Daily Emerald
The University, like many other
electricity consumers, has been
paying higher bills than ever be
cause of energy shortages in the
West.
Such high costs have prompted
the University to search for ways
to conserve campus resources. In
the last two months, campus per
sonnel have been using a variety of
methods to lower energy con
sumption at the Student Recre
ation and Fitness Center. But now,
after the Eugene Water and Electric
Board’s decision Tuesday to raise
Eugene electric rates by 5.4 per
cent, University energy and envi
ronmental specialists say everyone
from students to professors need to
do their part to conserve on cam
pus.
George Hecht, director of cam
pus operations, has been working
with the rec center throughout the
term to conserve energy consump
tion in the building. He said it
costs about $125,000 a year to pro
vide energy for the center.
To lower these costs and con
serve energy, they have lowered
room temperatures and are also
testing the use of fluorescent light
bulbs and occupancy sensors.
Hecht said the new bulbs and sen
sors will lower the building’s ener
gy use for lighting.
“Lights tend to stay on and no
one feels the need to turn them off,”
he said. “That’s just a waste of ener
gy-”
Hecht said fluorescent lights do
not use as much heat as other light
bulbs, and occupancy sensors are
programmed to turn lights on only
when someone enters a room. He
said although the sensors are ex
pensive, he hopes they can be in
stalled in all campus buildings in
the future.
tt If you know you 're
going to be away from
your computer for half
the day, then just turn it
off. That's something
every student and faculty
member can do.

In addition to lighting, Hecht
said people need to be aware of
wasted energy when computers
are left on. He said when he was
first analyzing the use at the rec
center, he walked into an empty
lab with about 20 computers, and
all of them were on.
“That is just an example of wast
ed energy that is costing the cam
pus a lot of money,” he said.
Nick Williams, the University en
vironmental manager, said shutting
down computers when they are not
in use is just one way people can
conserve energy on campus.

“If you know you’re going to be
away from your computer for half
the day, then just turn it off,” he
said. “That’s something every stu
dent and faculty member can do.”
Williams said about 80 percent
of the University’s energy de
mands are for lighting, so it is im
portant to take advantage of natu
ral daylight whenever the weather
is nice.
“People should alter their work
stations to use the most of day
light,” Williams said.
While there are many ways to
conserve when the sun is out, the
University is also taking measures
to conserve energy at night.
Hecht said in addition to the
conservation measures being taken
inside the rec center, they have
also begun to shut down the cen
ter’s waterfall at night.
“We do not benefit in having
that on at night, so that’s a lot of
savings right there without any
costs,” he said.
Alan Smith, business manager
for facilities services, said campus
conservation helps everyone in the
long run, because it can lower Uni
versity expenses. He said this year,
the University’s electricity bill is
estimated to be about $1.8 million,
which is about 10 percent higher
than past years. However, these
numbers will increase because the
next bill will include the EWEB
rate increase.
“These are big numbers,” Smith
said. “But anyone here who con
serves is saving money, and that
will reflect on everyone’s bill.”
