In a ceremony, at a ceremony at DSU's Martin Luther King Student Center, DSU signed a memorandum of understanding with EPA, renewing its commitment to energy efficiency. DSU is showing how much they care about protecting our environment by participating in the Energy Star Buildings Partnership. As part of its existing partnership with EPA's Green Lights Program, DSU has upgraded over 1 million square feet of its space with energy efficient lighting, cooling, heating, and control systems. These advances are leading to major reductions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which contribute to smog, acid rain, and global warming. The Energy Star Buildings and Green Lights Partnership, an innovative voluntary program developed by the EPA, aims to reduce pollution by promoting energy efficient lighting and building systems.
Participants promote conversion to energy-efficient technology as a way to reduce electrical usage.
The results are financial savings for the partners and less pollution for the planet.
