Sustainability at Harvard

Green Building Tip

As part of Harvard's commitment to sustainability, the Green Building Tip aims to educate not only building managers, but also the entire Harvard community about different "green" technologies, practices, materials and opportunities utilitized in one or more buildings owned by Harvard.

Sharing individual lessons learned on a University-wide scale can help further efforts to sustainably design, build, renovate and operate Harvard buildings, which ultimately reduces operating costs and Greenhouse Gas Emissions, while increasing occupant health and comfort and building performance.
