Project+Background+Info

=== The Rubenstein Ecosystem Science laboratory is located along the coast of lake Champlain (college Street, Burlington VT). It was constructed in 2002 as a research facility for UVM undergraduate and graduate students as well as a teaching facility for aquatic ecology research and watershed data analysis. The building has a relatively high amount of energy consumption per square foot associated with it, and we believe as Rubenstein stewards, we have a duty to address this problem. We are working closely with UVM faculty members Gary Hawley, Richard Wolbach, and Dean Matthews to implement energy efficiency upgrades to reduce the building's ecological footprint. ===
