Stevens Institute is going green
University to get 100 percent of electricity from renewable sources ×
The Gateway Academic Center received LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Starting in October, Stevens Institute of Technology will source 100 percent of its electricity from a local renewable energy source formalizing a three-year agreement with ENGIE North America, facilitated by energy consultant Gotham 360.
“The fact that it’s physical power, local to our grid, and 100 percent renewable energy – that’s pretty unusual for a university,” said Robert Maffia, vice president for facilities and campus operations at Stevens.
Many universities burn fossil fuels to power their campuses and offset that consumption by buying renewable energy certificates (RECs) to help support efforts to generate more clean energy.
