Description:
|
The objective of this project family is to decrease
the RIT gross energy consumption (from greenhouse gas
producing sources) per FTE student by 10% from the
2005 baseline rate by the conclusion of calendar year
2013. As a first step towards this long term
objective, the mission of this project team is to
develop an initial plan whereby Senior Design
Students in the KGCOE can contribute to the
development of RIT as a campus that is
environmentally sustainable and energy efficient.
In the United States, 98% of carbon dioxide is
emitted as the result of the combustion of fossil
fuels. Consequently, carbon dioxide emissions and
energy use are highly correlated. This Senior Design
Project will follow precedence of the RIT's Green
Master Plan initiated by Honors Greening of RIT
(Spring 2003-2004) and continue moving forward with
greening RIT Campus. The mission of this student team
is to investigate energy consumption of residential
buildings on RIT Campus and discover opportunity of
energy conservation, which will engage improvements
on energy systems operation practice, software
logistics control, and energy system modifications.
There need to be a movement toward student
involvement as part of the energy savings practices
on campus
