Where Green and IT Meet
8/7/2006
Additionally, on the Higher Education Climate Action Partnership’s Web site, you can view case studies and lists of mainstream higher-ed associations that offer advice about how to measure and reduce greenhouse gas consumption. Also available through HECAP are presentations on energy management from the Association of College and University Business Officers’ November 2005 “Smart and Sustainable Campus Conference.” An October 2005 white paper from the Society for College and University Planning offers resources and discussion about the role higher education can play in energy management, and the bigger picture of sustainability. Finally, the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education will hold its 2006 annual conference in October 2006.
