National bank Wells Fargo donated $200,000 to Yale University’s Intelligent Buildings Project, research designed to decrease energy consumption.
The project lays the groundwork for intelligent buildings designed and equipped with systems for monitoring and managing energy use. The idea is the integrate architecture and engineering into the world of energy efficiency and renewable energy.
“We’re hoping that this grant will result not only in Wells Fargo’s facilities across the U.S. becoming greener and more energy efficient, but also in improvements by companies in all industries in meeting their sustainability goals,” said Kent McClun, Wells Fargo’s community bank president for Connecticut, in a press release.
Wells Fargo financed more than $9 billion to the fields of renewable energy and clean technology since 2005.
