In addition, thanks to a student Green Fee of $10 each semester, UTC now buys about 30 percent of its total electricity consumed each year as green power.<\/p>\n<p>Working together with Chattanooga-based sustainability nonprofit Green Spaces, UTC In 2016 became the largest \u201cGreen Light,\u201d or Green Spaces-certified green entity in Chattanooga.\u00a0The milestone resulted from a collaboration of the UTC Honors College, Office of Sustainability, Environmental Task Force, 18 students and Green Spaces to demonstrate UTC\u2019s commitment to sustainable practices in landscaping, cleaning, purchasing, water conservation, transportation, recycling and employee wellness.<\/p>\n<p>Among numerous other milestones in UTC\u2019s focus on increased sustainability:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Recycling has quadrupled in the past two years.<\/li>\n<li>The Mocs Shuttle provides more than 60,000 bus rides a year.<\/li>\n<li>Chattanooga Bike Share and Green Commuter car sharing are accessible on campus.<\/li>\n<li>Both UTC Library and Bretske Hall are certified <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Leadership_in_Energy_and_Environmental_Design\">Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design<\/a> Silver buildings.<\/li>\n<li>West Campus Housing complex, which opened in 2018, meets Tennessee High Performance Building Requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In 2019, the university will take its environmental focus up another notch, according to UTC Sustainability Coordinator Lisa Darger, a founding member of the Sustainable Professionals of Greater Chattanooga and recognized expert with a distinguished career in conservation and sustainability education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis year, we begin our partnership with the City of Chattanooga in the EPA\u2019s Better Buildings Challenge,\u201d Darger said.\u00a0\u201cThis means a city and campus-wide commitment to reduce energy use by an additional 20 percent over the next decade.\u00a0UTC\u2019s showcase project involves retrofitting all interior lighting and parking-garage lighting to LED wireless technology, reducing electricity consumption potentially by 80 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are changing the culture of Chattanooga, one sustainable step at a time,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steps are being taken on campus to make UTC more energy-efficient and sustainable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2019\/04\/utcs-environmental-task-force-fashions-important-achievements\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1300,"featured_media":26310,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[281,15,8270,64,12735],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-26304","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-campus","8":"category-master-plan","9":"category-news","10":"category-our-green-campus","11":"category-strategic-plan","12":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
