Office of Energy & Sustainability

About Us

 

In November 2022, the Office of Energy & Sustainability was created in the Department of Facilities Management & Campus Operations (previously Engineering & Maintenance) to work with faculty, staff, and students to implement sustainable practices. The creation of this group expands on the creation of an energy conservation team within Engineering & Maintenance in 2016, as well as many years of volunteer initiatives led by the Sustainability Leadership Council

 

The team's priorities are:

  • Comply with local regulations and the energy code.
  • Reduce energy use on campus.
  • Increase waste diversion and recycling.
  • Build a stronger sustainability culture on campus (supporting student groups, collaborations with other departments, newsletters, events, etc.).
