Energy Management at UD

The energy management team oversees UD's multi-million dollar energy and utility program. More than 75% of UD's greenhouse gas emissions footprint is a result of the University's energy consumption. Over the past 10 years, the energy management team has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 20%. The energy team also works with faculty, staff and students educating the community on energy issues and providing hands-on learning opportunities for UD students.

The team is also responsible for reducing the University's energy budget using strategies that are both technical and creative, without negatively impacting the comfort and convenience of the campus community.

With the goal of improving energy efficiency to reduce our energy consumption, the energy management team regularly evaluates energy intensive uses such as lighting, HVAC, and the central steam plant for energy efficiency opportunities.
