This session will provide tools and techniques to comprehend a campus's carbon profile, set carbon reductions goals, and explore alternative solutions to carbon-intensive practices in campus and space planning, infrastructure, and operations.

Unearthed

Digging Into UMass Boston's Transformational Utility, Landscape, and Roadway Project

By: Dorothy F. Renaghan, Ian Scherling, James Velleman
