Go Green, Miami!

Are you going green? So is Miami! Miami University was recently recognized for having the first residential hall in Ohio to receive a 2010 Energy Start from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Heritage Commons are on-campus student apartments that include a single room for each person, a joint bathroom used by two, and a common living and kitchen area. Only 5 years old, Heritage Commons accommodates up to 108 students who prefer the apartment-style living but want to stay on and near campus. The EPA gave kudos to Miami for meeting requirements in the categories of indoor air quality, energy performance, thermal comfort, and lighting levels. The university closely monitors all electrical and water usage on campus and has made strives to conserve energy when possible, saving the university substantial amounts of money. Miami is excited to receive this award and is encouraging others to find ways to conserve everyday resources. Go green!
