Where does our energy come from?
The University actively manages over 1.5 million square feet of building space. From 2014-2018 Sewanee decreased kW hour consumption by 7% even as a 7.7% increase in square footage was added. Additionally, 747,000 kW hours of renewable energy are purchased annually from TVA's Green Power Switch. A little over half of Sewanee's energy comes from renewable or nuclear power sources.
