Dartmouth Energy Decarbonization and Infrastructure Renewal
Dartmouth is working toward the goal of decreasing our campus energy carbon emissions to zero. Dartmouth's energy future includes drastically reducing energy consumption, constructing highly efficient buildings, and transitioning to low-carbon energy sources.
Stay Up-to-Date on Construction Progress
We know construction projects can be disruptive to daily life. We aim to minimize disruption by keeping relevant communications channels up-to-date. For detailed updates, please refer to the Campus Services Decarbonization page.

Steam to Hot Water Transition
We will replace all steam distribution piping with new hot water piping, which is a much more efficient way to distribute heat from the central plant to campus buildings. Steam will also be eliminated from building heating systems, in addition to other energy efficiency improvements.
