A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
Photo-voltaic panels are located at the following campus sites: Aquaplex, Aquaplex (Solar H20, Music Building, Physics Building, Parking Structure 1, Parking Structure 2 Extended Studies, Parking Structure E (Children's Center), West Commons. Solar thermal panels located at the Children's Center generate 14,000 kWH per year. The Solar Thermal installation at the Aquaplex and Aztec Recreation Center installations offset approximately 40% of facility energy use, but are not included in our estimate because full-year data is not currently available.

A brief description of cogeneration technologies deployed:
Seeking to manage its energy costs in a deregulated electricity market, while at the same time ensuring ultra-reliable, high-quality power to keep pace with its continuing growth, in 2003 San Diego State University (SDSU) added an 11-MW co-generation facility to its existing central plant complex. The elements of the project included a 10,000 square foot two-story building designed to blend in with the existing SDSU architecture; an environmentally clean power generating station; operating flexibility with three separate primary feeds and the turbines to run independently or in series; the ability to either export power to or import power from the grid depending upon the specific demands of the campus mechanical and electrical systems; and a state-of-the-art control room.
