St. Lawrence University has announced it will use $112,000 of New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) funding to create the school’s first energy master plan.
The private, liberal arts college in Saint Lawrence County, New York, hopes the energy plan will help propel the school towards climate neutrality, while obtaining environmental and financial sustainability.
According to cnybj.com, the new energy master plan will allow St. Lawrence’s Office of Sustainability to establish “broad” institutional goals to “efficiently” meet utility-services requirements, address sustainability strategies, and provide a “foundation for continuous reassessment and review” of utility infrastructure life-cycle strategies along with academic and facility-planning objectives, the university said. It will also complement the school’s facilities master plan.
