全校师生共襄盛举

Energy efficiency is a topic close to the heart of Ohio State’s campus. In 2017, the University released a comprehensive energy management project with the goal of improving energy efficiency on the campus by 25% in the next ten years.

In March 2018, the University’s energy partner, ENGIE, challenged students to take part in reaching this ten-year goal by improving energy efficiency among the student body through positive behavioral changes on campus. This challenge inspired students to undergo sustainable shifts that made sense for their high-energy usage lifestyles.

I AM REALLY GLAD THAT ENGIE REACHED OUT TO STUDENTS TO HELP WITH THIS…WE KNOW
WHAT IS FEASIBLE TO CHANGE IN OUR BEHAVIOR AND WHAT IS INFEASIBLE.

著眼能源效率提升

Grants were provided to the student body with the intent of making real changes that furthered the energy efficiency goal. Students took these grants and, after much research, presented the idea of utilizing energy generating cardio equipment. Upon installing ECO-POWR™ treadmills, ellipticals, and cycles, students are now able to workout and turn their burned calories into energy savings for the campus.

Both the Adventure Recreation Center (ARC) and Recreation and Physical Activities Center (RPAC) have a sustainable cardio area that is looking to make an impact on the overall energy efficiency goal of the Ohio State campus, in addition to connecting students to their energy consumption on a tangible level.

I THINK THE PROBLEM WITH SUSTAINABILITY IS IT’S TOUGH TO FEEL THE TANGIBILITY AND THE
DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE…WITH THIS EQUIPMENT, YOU SEE HOW MANY WATTS YOU’VE GENERATED AND GET TO SAY
‘I’M HELPING OUT THE UNIVERSITY, HELPING OUT THE ENVIRONMENT, AND HELPING OUT MY BODY.’

IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO POWER THE WHOLE GYM YET, WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE DREAM
TO ME, BUT THE TECHNOLOGY IS HERE AND THERE’S UPGRADES, AND WE’LL UPGRADE
WITH IT SINCE WE’VE ALREADY INVESTED IN THE INITIAL TECHNOLOGY.
