Over the last decade, Miami University cut carbon emission by 45% converting to electric-based heating and cooling. Smith College’s campus energy master plan plots a similar course to carbon neutrality in the ten years decade ahead. Mike Walters of MEP Associates, leader of both projects, contrasts the opportunities and limitations of two different schools’ equally effective de-carbonization strategies. Joined by Smith’s sustainability and campus planning leader, Dano Weisbord, and Miami’s recently retired energy systems director, Doug Hammerle, profiling their projects.
