Strategic Energy Management

The Strategic Energy Management Program provides a great example of sustainability in action. The program works to improve the energy efficiency of buildings while reducing costs and carbon emissions, ultimately helping us meet our carbon neutrality commitments. 

Progress is made through energy projects and operational improvements, such as energy conservation measures (ECMs). The Office of Sustainability at UM-Ann Arbor defines ECMs as measures that reduce the energy consumption of a particular piece of equipment or a certain aspect of essential building services to reduce overall building energy use.

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!
