THE DEPARTMENT of Energy conferred on the Rizal Technological University the Energy Efficiency Excellence Award for its conservation initiatives.

The university was awarded for its use of appliances with higher EER, implementation of the government’s energy management program, prevention of engine idling, regular vehicle maintenance and trip schedule.

The school saved 171,666,67 kWh on electricity consumption due to its efforts.

The award was given to the RTU last December.

“The Rizal Technological University was established due to the insufficiency of higher and accessible education at its foundation,” the school said.

“The university is tasked with the responsibility of providing professional, scientific, technological, and specialized education in various fields including engineering and technology,” it added.
