Solar
Panels:
From the south end
of the building, notice the solar panels on the front windows. More
panels are located on the roof of the building (and are visible
from the top floor of PLC). An average of 58,000 KWh'swill be saved
annually from these panels. Also, EWEB purchases the power generated
from these panels at eight times the value so that the Unversity
will profit from the investment. |

Light Shelves:
These light shelves,
located on the south facing side of the Lillis Business Complex
act much like the awnings installed on the Volcanology building,
yet have more capabilities. The shelves work by blocking direct
sunlight to the room and reflecting light into the upper window
portion to be evenly distributed across the ceiling and throughout
the room. This works to increase natural lighting in the room while
decreasing heat gain in classrooms by blocking direct sun rays.
