  • Sustainability

    Thirty-six percent water-use reduction; 100 percent energy offset through wind power; 100 percent pesticide-free grounds—these numbers only begin to capture the green transformation going on at Adelphi University. Adelphi has been recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency for its green power purchasing. Its recent purchase of more than 21 million kilowatt hours of renewable energy credits have helped offset an amount of carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to that produced by nearly 3,000 cars or 2,000 average American homes. Adelphi is also home to one of the first geothermal heating and cooling systems on Long Island. The university has committed to using geothermal heating and cooling systems in the residence halls, Center for Recreation and Sports, and Performing Arts Center. Adelphi has also installed solar panels on the roof of the library, which provide an estimated 57,000 kilowatt hours per year. But the feather in Adelphi’s green cap has to be its LEED-certified Center for Recreation and Sports and Performing Arts. The building features bicycle storage areas, low-flow plumbing fixtures, building materials from responsibly managed, often local, sources, and even skylights! The building has reduced Adelphi’s fossil energy use by 20 percent. One hundred percent of the cleaning products used to keep these spaces in tip-top condition are Green Seal-certified, and all of the campus grounds are maintained organically. Recycling areas are provided in each building on campus, and thanks to plenty of alternative transportation options on campus, almost one-third of student trips to and from class are environmentally responsible. Currently, the university is installing four electric vehicle charging stations. Adelphi University received well-deserved recognition for its commitment to sustainability when the EPA awarded it second place in the NE-10 Conference as part of its Green Power Partnership.
