UCI recognized for saving water, energy resources

UCI has won a statewide award for its efforts to reduce greenhouse emissions and conserve energy and water.

UCI was one of five applicants out of hundreds to earn “Best Overall” recognition in the state “Flex Your Power” campaign’s annual award. Those winners were picked by representatives of the California Public Utilities Commission, California Energy Commission, League of California Council, Southern California Edison and other public and private groups.

“UCI’s energy management and sustainability practices are recognized not only statewide, but we are now regarded among the most progressive and efficient institutions nationwide,” said Wendell Brase, the school’s vice chancellor of administrative and business services, in a statement.
