Sustainability : Thomas College-网上网赌平台

网上网赌平台在为学生保证可持续发展的未来方面略知一二. 这就是为什么我们承诺尽一切努力确保我们的校园社区和我们的星球有一个更可持续的未来.

我们从不害怕领导，你会在我们雄心勃勃的校园建设计划中看到领导力. 我们的绿色建筑和可持续发展倡议不仅节约能源，还节省资金，并为我们的学生提供独特的研究机会, 参与, and discover.

Putting Energy to Work

我们可持续发展举措的例子比比皆是:从高效供暖, 冷却, 以及地热井和用水点供水系统的照明系统, 或者从餐饮服务部门回收食用油到我们学生推动的校园回收计划. Perhaps the most impressive example is our “Alfond Array,” one of the state’s largest solar photovoltaic arrays. Made up of almost 700 solar panels on the Alfond Athletic Center, this 175 kWh system, installed by ReVision Energy, produces almost 11% of the electricity used on campus. Here’s what we’ve gained from this system alone since 2012:

Offset 1,247 gallons of gas.
Generated 14,117 kWh of electricity.
Saved 8 tons of CO2 emissions.
Produced enough energy to charge an electric car 588 times.
Generated enough power to charge 2,611,645 smartphones.

To continue our diverse sustainability efforts, Thomas于2015年6月加入了美国能源部的工作场所充电挑战赛. By taking part in the challenge, 网上网赌平台致力于为学生提供插电式电动汽车(PEV)充电站, 工作人员, and faculty. 网上网赌平台从2013年开始提供电动汽车停车服务，在校园指定的停车位安装了两个一级充电器. In the fall of 2015 Thomas College added two level II chargers, which provide a charge in half the time.
