Campus Sustainability

Green Labs Program

This program will help reduce energy consumption in laboratory buildings through strategic equipment upgrades and peer outreach. The CEF will fund a program manager to run a pilot program that 1) involves individual laboratory members in identifying opportunities for efficiency in their laboratory and promoting efficient behavior among their peers; 2) upgrades inefficient laboratory equipment and techniques and 3) encourages labs to turn equipment off when not in use, and to retire unnecessary or duplicate equipment.

Sustainability in Higher Education Nationally and at UVM

Higher education has a special role to play in helping create a sustainable future. A movement began in the early 1990s to green campuses, spreading to hundreds of campuses by 2010. The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education has emerged as a key resource for campuses to work together.
