Resources
As Stanford advances in its mission to incorporate sustainability into all aspects of campus life, the Office of Sustainability and its partners provide a number of fact sheets, best practices guides, and campus information to equip the community to achieve the highest level of engagement. In addition, here you can find the Sustainable Stanford: Year in Review, which documents the annual progress of the university. Building dashboards present a composite view of building-level resource consumption for all reporting buildings on campus.
