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.

Center for Science and Technology Energy Recovery500 MTCO2e
Lally Arena Lighting100 MTCO2e
Site Lighting87+ MTCO2e

The more energy intensive buildings on campus are depicted by the larger boxes (on the left) in the map below.

Campus buildings' emissions measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent for fiscal year 2024. Larger boxes on the left side indicate a larger portion of campus emissions.
