Going deep: Princeton lays the foundation for a ‘net-zero’ campus
Article and video – For Princeton University to meet its energy needs, along with its goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by its 300th anniversary in 2046, a complete rethinking is required on how energy is used and supplied in every lab, every office, every dorm room, in each parking lot and garage — even on pathways and playing fields.
Princeton Builds Energy: Geo-exchange lays the foundation for a ‘net-zero’ campus
Video – For Princeton University to meet its energy needs, along with its goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by its 300th anniversary in 2046, a complete rethinking is required on how.
Testing Lower-Carbon Concrete at Princeton University
Video – Princeton University is building a new parking garage on campus. Knowing that concrete is one of the world’s top sources of carbon emissions, the University chose a concrete mix that has a lower carbon footprint. But will it pass the test from the University’s structural health engineers?
The Behavioral Science of Sustainability
Video – Changing a habit takes a lot of attention—especially the kinds of habits that lead to a more sustainable world. So Princeton University is partnering with Evidn to explore how the emerging field of behavioral science can help support energy conservation and sustainability actions on campus.
