A new Energy Use Policy has been approved by the EMI Steering Committee (February 2013) and the Campus Enterprise Risk Committee (April 2013), which is the campus administrative committee responsible for policies. The policy became effective January 1, 2014.
The Policy has been developed to provide a local framework to support energy-efficient decisions in accordance with the EMI. The intent of the policy is to support environmental stewardship and leadership congruent with the campus’s standing in education, research, and public service. The Policy outlines new energy conservation practices for:
- heating, cooling, and ventilation in campus buildings;
- lighting;
- equipment, including computers; and
- construction and renovation projects.
