Governor Cuomo announces budget for energy efficiency plan
By Chelsey Moore
Oswego, NY- A new plan is in motion to help make the state of New York more energy efficient. Governor Andrew Cuomo announced early Tuesday that twelve million dollars will be used to enhance energy efficiency in industrial and multi-family buildings. This plan coincides with the real time energy management initiative launched last year.
Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Real Time Energy Management Initiative was first launched last year with the goal of improving efficiency in commercial buildings, including office buildings, hotels, universities, hospitals and retail stores. This energy management system continuously monitors the energy use of different buildings through sensors meters and other equipment. These systems can pinpoint a building’s operational inefficiencies and help to identify conservation measures and help justify capital improvements.
This initiative is crucial to the success of Governor Cuomo’s plan to enhance the state’s overall energy efficiency because about 60-percent of greenhouse gas emissions in New York come from buildings.
According to Governor Como, the state will continue to invest in “state-of-the-art clean energy solutions to create a greener, more sustainable future for all.”

SUNY Oswego Open House
Colleges traditionally host open houses to inform high school students more about that college with a goal to convince incoming college freshmen on why that college is a good choice.
SUNY Oswego held its first Open House of the year this past Monday, October 10. Students from all across the United States came to visit Oswego, hoping to maybe become a future laker.
Not only does Open House effect the high school students, but it gives the Suny Oswego students the chance to flaunt their amazing clubs, sports, and of course…education.
Hundreds of students came to the Columbus Day open house, hoping to learn more about Suny Oswego. These students were given campus tours including the dorms, and many informative meetings to learn about education at Suny Oswego.
I got the chance to speak to a student about his experience while his group were walking through the resident halls, “From attending Open House, my favorite part was touring the Technology wing. The tours were very helpful, and you really got a feel of what campus is like. I love the location of the campus, and the buildings seem very up to date.” said Adam, a senior from Buffalo.
Open House is always a great way for SUNY Oswego students to look for community service hours. If you are interested in working Open House or attending an Open House session, there are two more this semester. October 29 and November 11.
