  • Sustainability

    At the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, sustainability permeates all facets of the culture. As a signatory to the ACUPCC, Illinois is committed to carbon neutrality by 2050. To date, the campus has already reduced energy use per square foot by 24 percent since FY08. The Energy Conservation Incentive Program is in its second year recognizing and incentivizing further reductions. Currently, all new buildings must meet LEED Gold standards, and the new Electrical and Computer Engineering Building is slated to be LEED Platinum—and net-zero energy. The school has also invested more than $100 million in building retrofits to ensure that the campus is more sustainable, uses less energy, and has less sprawl. At last count, 50 buildings at Illinois have been retro-commissioned, resulting in an average energy reduction of 28 percent per building. Other conservation efforts include a steam trap maintenance program, the installation of energy recovery wheels, the use of deferred maintenance program funds to purchase energy-related components, a water leak assessment and repair program, and LED exit sign installations. Due to the efforts of many individuals and departments, the total solid waste diversion rate is now 85.6 percent , this campus is a Bicycle Friendly University, and we plant native species whenever possible. Students at Illinois are very passionate about sustainability: Each student pays a fee for clean energy and for general campus sustainability. The Student Sustainability Committee manages the fee income (approximately $1.1 million annually) and funds sustainability projects on campus through a competitive proposal process.
