Aparna Dial, Ohio State's director of Energy Services and Sustainability, says the university is taking a "three-pronged approach" to greater energy efficiency: metering buildings to determine how much energy is being used, conducting energy audits during which the university replaces inefficient energy systems, and implementing environmentally friendly projects such as the football game day recycling program.
