ALCOA The company… The product… Leading producer of aluminum Infinitely recyclable Largest miner of bauxite Hall-Heroult Process Largest refiner of alumina Involved in multiple markets *Properties of Aluminum • Light weight • Corrosion resistance • Conductivity • Reflectivity • Recyclability

Why are we here today? Penn State & Sustainability • Identify campus opportunities • Examine inputs & outputs • Take advantage of aluminum’s intrinsic properties • Increase efficiency or sustainability Opportunity: to increase sustainability by using aluminum and taking advantage of the upcoming east halls renovation

East Halls Built over 60 years ago in the 1950 s Comprised of 15 buildings, ranging in size, layout, and energy usage Last year’s East Halls energy usage data shows that all fifteen halls used a total of 5. 1 million k. Wh of energy, with an average energy per building of 339, 836 k. Wh Hastings Hall (average building assumption) A look at a recent energy consumption will give us an estimation as to how much energy our solution will need to save over the course of its lifetime
