Sustainability: State Guidelines
State Guidelines
In 2007, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick challenged state agencies to become leaders in reducing energy use and greenhouse emissions. Executive Order No. 484 (PDF) charges state colleges and universities to lessen their environmental impact and to educate the public through the Leading-By-Example program.
Fitchburg State College is leading the charge: spreading the word with student and staff involvement, greener construction projects, and renovations designed to improve energy efficiency. Fitchburg State College provides yearly reports on its progress.
With the assistance of LBE, The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources will be conducting a survey, in Spring 2009, on Thompson and Sanders to evaluate the capacity of the buildings to support the installation of a solar photovoltaic array.
