加热和冷却
UNC design standards require high efficiency centrifugal chillers, which use less energy to create one ton of cooling and releases fewer GHG emissions than other technologies. Recent installations include Butler Hancock, 校园娱乐 Center and New West Campus Residence Halls North and South. Installations are planned for Kepner, Carter, Guggenheim and Crabbe halls.

4
Expanded the building 自动化系统 campus to control additional equipment and implemented additional night, weekend and holiday temperature set backs.
5
Replaced one of the original boilers at the Heating Plant with a new unit including economizer capabilities.

太阳能
UNC has invested in a small 10kw solar array on top of McKee Hall. 这个已经安装好了 fall of 2008 and the cost was offset with an Xcel energy rebate of 50 percent of the $100,000 cost and a Governors 能源 Office $10,000 grant. In the last four years this system has generated 37,250 kWh of electricity without using any fossil fuels.
