About
The renovated design reduces the building’s operational carbon footprint by nearly 35% compared to the ASHRAE 90.1-2010 baseline. Not only does this meet the University’s carbon goals, but it also complies with potential future BEPS carbon taxes. This is an annual savings of around 1,600 MT eCO2, or the amount of carbon sequestered by 1,900 acres of forest.
