The highest profile project from the department of Sustainability & Energy Management is the new 3 million gallon Thermal Energy Storage Facility. The chilled water tank is located just off Gemini, just East of the Lake Clair community. Parking garage VI is being built adjacent to tank site.

The department of Sustainability & Energy Management has two projects underway focusing on improving the efficiency of the campus shuttle service. The department is working in partnership with the College of Engineering to implement these projects.

The Department of Sustainability and Energy Management has been tasked to find a way for the university to become carbon neutral. This plan is multifaceted and includes student outreach programs such as the Annual Student Energy Conservation Competition.
Every year, the Department of Sustainability and Energy Management heads a campus wide initiative to save energy in the form of a competition between on-campus residents. This year’s competition ran from February 1 to February 28, 2009 and included over 6100 residents.
