Sustainability Assessment and Roadmap for a Green Campus Initiative
Abstract
Texas A&M International University and the Energy Systems Laboratory of the Texas
Engineering Experiment Station have partnered to conduct a campus sustainability assessment
and create a subsequent campus sustainability plan for TAMIU. This sustainable campus
initiative will make TAMIU a leader in efficient and environmentally friendly campuses
throughout the A&M system and the State.
Energy System Laboratory conducted a site visit and interview TAMIU management,
staff, contractors, and student representatives to obtain data for this assessment. The current
progress, good practices, and opportunities for TAMIU are discussed for four areas:
· Resource Conservation
· Campus Infrastructure
· Health and Well-Being
· Academics and Culture
The investigation revealed several points where TAMIU is already performing well and
also revealed many opportunities. The authors of this assessment see the following areas as
major opportunities. They are divided into immediate opportunities and areas that warrant
additional study.
