  • Sustainability

    The MIT Office of Sustainability connects researchers, decision-makers, and implementers across MIT to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges of campus sustainability and the cutting edge solutions to address them. The Office of Sustainability and others help to raise awareness and provide engagement opportunities for action around sustainable practices and environmental stewardship with stellar results: MIT’s waste-diversion rate is 47 percent, and recent building demolition projects have recycled 96 percent of their waste. MIT also generates much of the power it uses through the Cogeneration Plant, a 20-megawatt gas turbine that uses its own waste heat to produce power. MIT has also established “MIT Efficiency Forward,” which seeks to reduce electrical use by over 34 million kilowatt hours—about 15 percent of MIT’s current electrical use. This $14 million initiative will save more than $50 million in cost over the next ten years! A new laboratory and administration building both recently earned LEED Gold. They use 35 and 45 percent less energy, respectively, than typical buildings of similar size and purpose. Another inspiring undertaking is the MIT Energy Initiative, which “includes research, education, campus energy management and outreach activities that cover all areas of energy supply and demand, security and environmental impact.” This initiative recently funded a vast array of student energy projects, including on-campus campaigns for energy and heat conservation; design and development of a thermoelectric device, including testing its compatibility with the Cogeneration Plant; and building a demonstration solar dish concentrator and installing it on campus. With several environmentally focused student groups, top technical training, and opportunities for pioneering research, MIT is a great place to go green.
