  10. PROVIDENCE? • Christian • small • rural

  11. green to date • we’ve started to walk the walk • carpools • recycle • retrofit windows & insulation • community garden • replace boilers • geothermal • wind research

  12. green to date • replace boilers • natural gas • low-efficiency  high-efficiency • $130k spent to date

  13. green to date • geothermal • Reimer SLC • opened in 2009 • $5 million • $500,000 for geothermal • fundraised from non-government sources • ~25,000 sq ft • 10% of total campus building footprint

  14. green to date • wind research • wind study • environmental study

  15. carpools recycle retrofit community garden replace boilers geothermal wind research biomass heating green now GOAL: replace ~2/3s of our natural gas use

  16. green now • Providence’s renewable energy formula: • electricity + geothermal + biomass • = #2 campus in Canada • #1: University of Northern British Columbia
