Strategic Energy Management

The Strategic Energy Management (SEM) Program provides a great example of sustainability in action. In partnership with DTE Energy, we work to improve the energy efficiency of buildings while reducing costs and carbon emissions, ultimately helping us meet our carbon neutrality commitments. 

Through this program, we identify projects that contribute towards increased energy efficiency on our campus. We analyze consumption data and usage patterns, identify areas of high usage, develop and implement capital projects and operational improvements, update and optimize building automation systems, and develop sustainable, continuous energy management processes.

If you’re a professor or student and you have a project idea you’d like to connect with campus energy consumption, reach out to the Sustainability & Energy Team at [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you!
