Interested in what Green Campus has been up to thi Interested in what Green Campus has been up to this year? Here's some information about what our Wast Heat team had achieved!

The first three photos are from our first project, working with the EERC sidewalk to design a snow melt system which utilitizes heat generated from the nearby server room. A water glycol will be run through the pex pipes shown in the picture underneath the pavement at a high enough temperature to melt snow and ice. This project is nearly finished, we're just waiting on a few more details to be finalized.

As we've been waiting for details regarding the sidewalk, we' transitioned our focus towards the dow. Photo number 4 shows one of the dows water chillers, and photo number 5 shows one of the vents outputting hot air into the environment. Both of these provide excess heat to be harnessed, and we're working through how and where to apply that heat right now!

If you're interested in more information, please feel free to visit us at our meetings on Thursday from 5-6pm in Dow 875. We're currently doing final presentations, so now is a great time to swing by and see what all our teams have accomplished this semester!
