Sustainability
When it comes to sustainability, Princeton University won’t settle for merely meeting benchmarks—it wants to exceed them. The university aims to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, even while expanding its campus by more than half a million square feet. How will this ambitious goal be achieved? To begin with, all new non-laboratory buildings will strive to be at least 50 percent more energy-efficient than required by code. The university will invest $45 million over the next ten years to cut back on utility usage on campus, and—through incentives for faculty and students—will reduce by 15 percent the number of cars coming to campus by 2020. Princeton is conserving resources in other ways as well: With low-flow fixtures and other solutions, annual campus water usage has declined 25 percent since 2006. The university only purchases 100 percent post-consumer, chlorine- free recycled office paper. resulting in greenhouse gas savings equivalent to taking 16 cars off the road for a year. Princeton has also made an effort to address green issues in its curriculum. In 2014, 20 percent of graduating seniors had engaged in academic or research efforts in sustainability. Many are drawn by the university’s broad array of green course offerings: Nearly 270 courses offered at Princeton since 2009 have incorporated sustainability. More than sixty classes have a sustainability component. Finally, Princeton has installed a massive 5.3-megawatt photovoltaic solar array (16,500 solar panels!) generating a whopping 8 million kilowatt hours annually, equivalent to powering 700 homes.
