A brief description of the companies, funds, and/or institutions referenced above:
Weber State University is currently investing in its own energy-efficiency and renewable energy projects through a $5 million revolving green loan from the endowment. As energy savings are realized, 25% of those savings go back into the utility budget and 75% of the savings go to replenish and grow the revolving fund. However, currently, the 75% in savings is currently being used to repay the endowment loan. The Energy & Sustainability Office is expecting that this loan will be paid off (with interest) in nine years.
