Energy Crisis

For the past couple of years, Californians have heard a lot about how we are in the middle of an energy crisis. According to CSULB's website, in September the school finished lending its helping hand to the state by installing 800 solar panels along the rooftop of Brotman Hall.

"One is in the canopies of covered parking in Facilities Management, which will provide 100 kilowatts of power during peak generation periods. The other is a 225-kilowatt array on the roof of Brotman Hall, which will take care of 80 percent to 90 percent of the building's peak demand periods," explains Tim Ball, associate director of Facilities Management.

The installations of these panels show the efforts that the school is taking to make a difference. The energy crisis is not going away, and now as a community within the school, we are all lending our hand in helping.

In an effort to be compliant with the governor's and the CSU's executive orders, as well as fulfill the ambitions of our Associated Students and other organizations within the CSU, we are attempting to do our part to fulfill our energy objectives," he said.
