A brief description of the program:
Green Fridays is a green campus initiative to reduce our campus carbon footprint, without decreasing the level of education and services provided. First piloted for four weeks in the summer 2008, the initiative was a result of analysis that showed Fridays had the fewest visitors to campus. The College adjusted its hours to a four day, 10-hour work week.
Some areas of the campus remained open on Fridays
including the Fitness and Recreation Center and our
corporate training center. In all other areas, utilities
were reduced. The program was repeated for additional weeks in 2009 and again for a longer duration in 2010.
To gain an understanding of the true impact of our
carbon emissions, an energy savings and use analysis
was conducted. Additionally, surveys were distributed
to faculty and staff regarding commuting habits.
