Guiding Sustainability at Harvey Mudd College

Harvey Mudd College
2007–08

The team was asked to systematically evaluate a broad range of possible conservation-themed projects to improve campus sustainability at HMC.  The team developed a set of metrics that prioritizes and compares the performance of diverse projects such as real-time monitoring of electricity usage, solar photovoltaics, and improvements to landscaping.  The metrics will also be used to evaluate future HMC sustainability projects.

Advisor(s): Daniel C. Petersen and Donald Remer.

Team: Kevin P. Byram ’08, Anthony Hutain ’08, Maddalena M. Jackson ’08, Nathaniel E. Lyons-Smith ’08, and Lolly Simoni ’08.
