BVU Consumption Stats

Below are some rough stats of what BVU consumes every year. These are the preliminary results of the Green House Gas Study that Buena Vista University is currently undergoing.



To give you all some insight into what these figures mean, lets look at something that might be a little more comprehendable. Using a 100 watt light bulb for one hour consumes 0.10 kilowatt hours of electricity. So, that's like leaving one hundred 100-watt light bulbs on continuously for 118 years! Or, just in extra trash pick-ups (that means above and beyond the normal daily load) you could fill the playing area of a football field 8 feet deep!!
