Cooling, Heating, and Power (CHP) Revolution at UIC
UIC is growing rapidly and already has underway a 10-year south campus project including housing for more than 750 students, three major academic buildings, more than 850 units of market-rate residential housing, new retail establishments, and parking facilities. On the west side of campus, a $100-million College of Medicine research building and other new high-tech research facilities will be constructed by 2003.
To manage the energy needs of this thriving institution, the UIC fiscal plant team is continuing on a course originally begun in the early 1990s, when the university first started to generate some electricity for the east campus.
