Want to reduce the amount of waste headed to the landfill from our campus? A waste audit conducted by our SSIT will help assess your office’s waste behavior. You will work with your custodial team to halt garbage and recyclable pick up for one week; then, our team will come in and sort your trash (in Tyvek suits and protective gear because, well, gross!). We will generate a report and recommendations on how to improve. After six months, we will follow up with a post-assessment to see if any improvements were made.

How much power is your department using? Are you interested in knowing how much energy your office or lab uses? We can quantify your plug load and work with you to develop ways to make your space more efficient. 

Our SSIT members can come to your lab or office to monitor the energy usage of your electronic equipment. Kilowatt monitors will be placed in your outlets and left for a week (or a month) to gather data on how much energy your unit uses. After this, our team will generate a report of recommendations on how to decrease your usage. We will then schedule a follow-up assessment to see if a reduction has occurred.  Please note that this will not account for HVAC systems. 

Responsibilities of the Requestee: Ensure that the kilowatt meters are not touched or moved, and complete both a pre-test and a post-test on energy usage. 

Time Commitment: 1-4 weeks
