Sustainability at Rensselaer

When investing time and money into energy conservation initiatives, it is important to have a broader understanding of your project so that you can identify the easiest ways to make significant changes. This graphic is a breakdown of each individual building’s energy usage on RPI’s campus, in the form of a pie chart, so that it is easy to see which buildings are getting the biggest piece. As you can see, there are 4 buildings that use almost half of the total energy usage on campus, the Center for Industrial Innovation, the Jonsson Engineering Center, the Cogswell Laboratory, and the Materials Research Center. Small changes in the way these buildings are run can have a significant result.
