University of California-Davis to develop green housing facilities for students

The University of California-Davis has decided to give the living spaces for its students a green touch, with plans to build a zero-net energy housing community. Using a bunch of energy-efficient technologies and a 4 megawatt high efficiency SunPower solar power system, the project aims to create an eco-friendly housing-community for the students at the University. The first phase of the project will play home to 2,000 students. Besides that, it’ll also house an education center for Los Rios Community College, recreation and study facilities besides a village square, a retail facility and about 343 homes for sale for the faculty and staff.

A collaborated project pieced together by the UC Davis and the West Village Community Partnership. And with this, the students, staff and faculty at the University can wipe out their carbon footprints, instead living an eco-efficient lifestyle.
