Campus Planning and Facilities Design is committed to reducing energy consumption on RPI’s campus. As the campus expands, increasing our potential energy usage, it becomes increasingly more important that efforts are made to conserve energy. We have done this by raising awareness and investing in energy conservation, including renewable energy sources, and new green building construction.
