In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint, Iona College has been working with Cenergistic, a leading energy conservation firm, to help reduce the consumption of oil natural gas, water and electricity on campus. With the goal of saving over $2.5 million in energy costs and reducing energy consumption by roughly 20% in the next five years, Iona has made it a priority to practice sustainability and go green.
Thomas VanWert is Cenergistic’s on-campus Energy Specialist at Iona. The Ionian’s Stacey Franciamore interviewed VanWert to discuss Cenergistic and its role on campus.
