  • Sustainability

    Eastern Connecticut State University is a charter signatory of the ACUPCC and has filed its Action Plan detailing its commitment to achieving Zero-Carbon by 2050. ECSU seeks to create a campus-wide culture of sustainability, through green operational initiatives, green-minded education for students’ first year program and an environmental earth science and sustainability energy studies majors. ECSU’s Green Campus Initiative commits the campus community to lowering energy use, reducing water waste, and improving recycling. Currently, 10 percent of the campus energy consumption is derived from renewable resources, including; geothermal, solar power, biofuel and purchased electricity from renewable sources. The campus boasts four LEED-certified buildings including a LEED Silver Science Building, featuring day-light harvesting, a gray water system, recycled flooring, native plants and a biofilter system to reduce rainwater runoff. Eastern’s Institute for Sustainable Energy (ISE) addresses energy issues in the region by supporting the development of sound public energy policy, providing K–12 energy education and professional development, and solutions to community resource issues. ISE also manages six sustainability websites, including www.CTEnergyEducation.com, a curriculum resource for educators featuring energy lessons and activities for Connecticut high school students, preparing them to embrace the mindset of environmental awareness well before they enter college. Over eighty Eastern student interns have participated in Green Job training programs including conducting Energy Star benchmarking and energy audits of public buildings, courses on green building standards and teacher workshops on classroom sustainability activities.
