Through simple, everyday actions, occupants of any building can impact Stanford's bottom line. The Building Level Sustainability Program (BLSP) focuses on behavior change to complement efficiency improvement at the infrastructure level and contributes to resource conservation and Stanford's carbon footprint reduction goals.
Did You Know?
- Pilot BLSP implementation in 14 campus buildings resulted in up to a 20% reduction in electricity consumption with an average payback in just 9 months.
- If all buildings achieved the pilot average 8% electricity savings, Stanford's cost savings could total $350,000 annually! This is our goal.
It is easy and rewarding to Be Your Building's Hero. We have all the tools you will need to make a substantial contribution to campus and help us reach our goal.
What Will It Take?
- Perform an Energy Audit. Use the quick energy audit form to identify the energy-saving opportunities best suited for your building.
- Implement Energy-Saving Changes. Order the devices or services identified during the audit and help ensure correct installation in your building.
- Apply for Rebate Funding. ERP Express provides rebates to defray the purchase cost of small energy-saving devices like Smart Strips and appliance timers.
- Support Your Colleagues. Be a resource for your department and promote energy efficiency through simple actions and behavioral change.
You Can Be Your Building's Hero!
- Pledge to Take Action! Sign-up to connect with the Office of Sustainability. All members of the Stanford community who pledge to promote increased energy-efficiency within their buildings and/or departments using the tools provided will receive a campaign t-shirt and be entered into a raffle to be profiled online.
