EPA recognizes Emerson green energy usage

Emerson College has once again been recognized by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for using more green power than any other school in the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) during the past academic year.

Emerson has received the top green energy spot in its athletic conference for the past several years. The College used 15 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power in the 2014-2015 year, accounting for 100 percent of its annual electricity usage.

The recognition is due to Emerson’s annual participation in the College and University Green Power Challenge.
