Does UNH use compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFL's) and other energy efficient lighting?

Yes! UNH has invested several million dollars in retrofit projects including high efficiency lighting systems, motors, and control systems. In fact, UNH has used energy efficient compact fluorescent lighting (CFL's) for several years. In combination with T-8 and T-5 fixtures, UNH uses CFL's as a matter of routine on new construction and major renovation projects. UNH has also done some specific lighting upgrade projects using this technology. It is UNH Facilities policy to remove all incandescent lighting through attrition and replace this lighting with CFL's. What's more, no new purchases of incandescent bulbs (unless specific conditions are required that cannot be attained through CFL's) are allowed. More detail on UNH's energy efficiency investments can be found here and here.  more
