that Emory’s two new freshmen residence halls opening this fall will collect rainwater from the roof and use solar energy to pump the water for use in the dorm’s toilets?   Emory has a “No Net Loss of Forest Canopy” policy, and Emory’s forest is one of the most species-rich forests within metro Atlanta?   the new Turman Residence Hall has an energy monitor that allows students to compare energy use floor by floor? In a recent energy savings competition, students saved enough energy in one month to power an additional residence hall for a month! Green building Program Emory has also committed to all current and future construction being LEED-certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. Greenspace Protection Emory has dedicated 54% of its 700 acres on main campus as protected greenspace. Alternative Transportation Emory’s bus fleet, the “Cliff” shuttles, are 100% alternatively fueled, with half the fleet running on a biofuel blend made from the used cooking oil from our hospitals and campus cafeterias. Sustainability Curriculum Sustainability coursework is being integrated into the curriculum for students across the University, and Emory has become a national model for curriculum development for sustainability. Energy Conservation Emory is tracking energy consumption by building to promote energy conservation. Emory’s goal: to reduce energy use by 25% per square foot by 2015 from 2005 levels. Sustainable Foods Over the last year and half, Emory has increased its use of regional and sustainable foods. Emory’s goal: to procure 75% of ingredients from local or sustainably grown sources by 2015, and Emory has hired a Farmer Liaison who is working to expand the availability of fresh and local food on campus. Recycling Emory is recycling about 59% of its waste stream—and up to 80% of its demolition and waste from new construction. Our goal is to divert 65% of our overall waste stream and 95% of construction and food waste. Water Conservation Emory is collecting up to 300,000 gallons of rainwater in underground cisterns and captures approximately 4 million gallons a year of condensate water by using innovative heat wheels—both for reuse in irrigation or our chilled water system.
