No formal program, but MC encourages purchasing practices that includes US-EPA Energy Star and other government and private energy efficient appliance standards.
A brief description of any energy-efficient landscape design initiatives employed by the institution:
Maryville College maintains 142-acre college woods, the largest contiguous wooded space in the City of Maryville, Tennessee. This wooded area provides a cooling-space offset for the heat island created by the city in summer months. Additionally, MC installs native plantings/regional plantings on buildings and grounds as finances permit.
