*Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies intended to improve performance in metrics such as energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

We have secured approval for an additional 1.9 MW with the goal of installing @ ASU 20 MW of solar power capacity by 2014.

Campus Metabolism™ cm.asu.edu Displayed in the window of the School of Sustainability’s Academic Advising Center is the Campus Metabolism™ kiosk that displays real-time energy consumption data for several campus buildings. Campus Metabolism is an interactive web-based tool created to highlight the connection between actions in our daily lives, resource use, and the resulting environmental consequences. Purchasing Policy: ASU established a comprehensive Green Purchasing Policy that promotes sustainability across all departments. Among the many provisions of the policy are minimally packaged @ ASU items, reusable or recyclable materials, and energy-saving products.

Apache Boulevard Solar Parking Structure This solar installation contains a single-axis tracking system to maximize sun exposure. It generated 1,685 megawatt-hours of clean electricity in its first year of operation, which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 123 average Arizona homes. One of six campus parking structures that utilize LED lighting.

“Blue Mall” Recycling Program: Blue bins paired with trash receptacles provide identifiable and easy access points for recycling throughout the Tempe campus walkways/malls. Blue bins can be sponsored by businesses and organizations that @ ASU want to participate in ASU’s effort to increase recycling via the bright blue bins.
