MIT’s Sustainability Challenge  MIT uses over 375 million gallons of water annually  Generates over 11,500,000 lbs of trash per year  …and over 338,000 lbs of chemical waste per year  Produces thousands of cu/ft of other regulated lab waste  19% of MIT community drives to campus alone  But 81% take the T, carpool, bike, walk, etc. versus 24% nationally  Of over 200 campus vehicles, less than 10 use alternative fuel  Feeding a community of over 10,000  Energy, energy, energy…

Setting the Stage at MIT  159 academic buildings  14.5 million sq feet space  154 urban acres in Cambridge, MA  20,000 person campus population  Over 1,500 research labs  District steam, chilled water & electricity  Utilities purchased for FY11 $34M  $18M natural gas (30 M ccf )  $10.5M electric (103 M kwh of 253 M kWh total)  $0.4M oil (156 K gal)  $5M water and sewer (499 ccf)  Building energy intensity  Campus average243 kbtu/sf/year  Typical wet lab 770 kbtu/sf/yr  Clean rooms 2300 kbtu/sf/yr  Typical dorm108kbtu/sf/yr  Historical 1M sq ft of new space/decade
