PITTSBURGH — An energy center at Duquesne University (DU) in Pittsburgh is now responsible for providing the entire campus with all necessary electricity, heating and cooling.

Within this center, a powerful, gas-fired turbine generates more than three-quarters of the university’s power. In addition, its excess heat runs boilers, which are then used to warm campus buildings in the winter, and powers chillers that are used for air conditioning in the summer.
