Description
Summary:FIRST PROJECT LAUNCH IN MAY 2002 - ONGOING CURRENT STATUS: 92% CARBON NEUTRAL This case study was developed with input from Edward Terceiro, Jr., consulting engineer and former executive vice president and chief fiscal officer at Mount Wachusett, who served the college from 1991 until his retirement in 2011, and with the support and permission of president Daniel Asquino, whose vision enabled this project. FIRST PROJECT LAUNCH IN 2000 - ONGOING CURRENT STATUS: 33% CARBON NEUTRAL RELATIVE TO 2008 BASELINE This case study was developed with the input and encouragement of W. S. (Lanny) Joyce, director, utilities and energy management, energy and sustainability at Cornell's Division of Infrastructure, Properties and Planning, without whom a coherent synthesis would not have been possible. [...]Cornell not only may play an important role in the development of a new technology on an industrial scale, but also will arm its graduating students with the knowledge to lead change around the world. [...]each building is unique and its data analysis approach must be tailored accordingly. 5 Local specialization involves the installation of microturbines, photovoltaics, small cogeneration systems, and more advanced systems to reduce dependence on centralized utilities.
