**Cornell University Hosts Tompkins County Officials for Energy Facility Tour**

Cornell University recently welcomed members of the Tompkins County Legislature and staff to tour its key energy facilities. Organized by Cornell's Community Relations and Facilities & Campus Services teams, the tour showcased the university's advanced energy systems, including the Lake Source Cooling system, the Hydroelectric Power Plant, and the Combined Heat and Power facility.

These systems play a crucial role in Cornell's sustainable energy efforts. Through its unique and efficient district energy system and substantial solar power resources, the university has managed to sustain its annual energy consumption at levels equivalent to those in the year 2000. This is part of Cornell's broader commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2035.
