Sustainability Case Studies: Best Practices in Campus Life [PDF]

This collection of short case studies highlights a range of best practices—both innovative and practical—in place right now that enhance environmental stewardship, improve cost and energy efficiencies, and provide for greater collaborations among students, faculty, and staffs at our colleges, universities, and schools.

 

The genesis of this project started with a simple call for case studies on projects and initiatives that campus sustainability, facilities, or energy departments were proud of and wanted to share with others. This book includes 123 total best practices from 92 separate colleges, universities, or schools. These programs represent only a small number of the depth, and breadth of advancements in campus sustainability and environmental stewardship. Clearly, there are innumerable positive and beneficial programs going on throughout North America that provide leadership to students, efficiencies to campuses, and a hopeful future.
