Biotechnology Lab Airflow Reduction - Successful ECI project

Through the ECI project air flow patterns and reduced room minimum air change rates per hour from 8/4 to 6/3 occupied/unoccupied. The project saves $76,000 and 195 tons/year carbon equivalent annually.

ECI Project Update: Plant Science Steam Traps & Radiator Control Valves

127 steam radiator hand valves and 201 steam traps were replaced, saving $100,000 annually for the University.

Cayuga Lake Modeling Project

Cornell University has agreed to construct a water quality model of Cayuga Lake and its watershed, to provide a better understanding of where phosphorus comes from, and how it affects the lake ecosystem. The project will be led by the New York State Dept. of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), and is included as a condition of the draft permit renewal for Cornell's Lake Source Cooling facility. Check the CLMP webpage for more information....

2013 Joint Annual Water Quality Report

Every year, a water quality report is prepared based upon the past year's activities. We take great pride in the work that we do and we invite you to read these very informative reports. Cornell collaborates with the other two water purveyors in the Ithaca area to produce this report (City of Ithaca and the Bolton Point Water System).
