Sustainability Management is focused on reducing energy usage across campus. A benchmarking study was completed and helped identify the most energy intensive facilities. Higher energy users include many lab and research facilities. Sustainability Management uses this data to identify projects that will provide the greatest reduction in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Energy tracking software is also used to measure and track reductions in utilities and metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2e). The table below identifies project savings in MTCO2e.
Project | Annual Savings |
Center for Science and Technology Energy Recovery | 500 MTCO2e |
Lally Arena Lighting | 100 MTCO2e |
Site Lighting | 87+ MTCO2e |
The more energy intensive buildings on campus are depicted by the larger boxes (on the left) in the map below.
