What students, faculty, and staff do on a daily basis to conserve energy on campus can make a significant impact. The Energy Conservation Incentive Program (ECIP) recognizes these outstanding departmental and unit efforts by awarding funding for future building upgrades to the eight facilities recording the greatest percentage of energy reduction from one fiscal year to the next.
On Campus Sustainability Day, the ECIP will award approximately $200K for building improvements. The 2015 ECIP awards will be presented on Wednesday, October 21 at 4:30 p.m. in the National Soybean Research Center (1101 West Peabody Drive - Room 149) to representatives from the following facilities:
