Efficiency rules at Colorado State University

摘要

Fort Collins, CO-based Colorado State University is growing - and with growth comes the inevitable need for additional resources. Right? Not always. Since 1990, Colorado State University's student population has risen by 5,000 (a 25-percent increase). Over the past 15 years, the university's facilities have expanded by an additional 1.4 million square feet (a 19-percent increase). But despite these upsurges, potable water usage on campus has actually decreased by more than 100 million gallons per year.
