Topeka — Kansas University is seeking approval of $25.6 million in bonds to finance projects aimed at reducing energy costs.
An energy audit at KU identified numerous energy savings projects in 44 buildings that will result in utility savings of $2.2 million per year, according to a Kansas Board of Regents staff memo.
Those projects include lighting and steam system improvements, water conservation, and lab improvements in the Haworth and Malott Halls, and the Simons Biosciences Research building.
KU has asked the Kansas Board of Regents to allow it to issue bonds to hire Energy Solutions Professionals of Overland Park to do the projects. The regents will take up the issue during its monthly meeting on Thursday.
