Eastern Michigan University accelerates sustainability efforts through Path Forward Initiative, ECMs, and capital improvements
- On May 12, 2025, Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti advanced its sustainability efforts through its Energy Conservation Measure program and the Path Forward Initiative.
- These efforts build on EMU's 2023 partnership with CenTrio and Ramboll Group to modernize utility infrastructure and improve energy efficiency across campus utilities.
- The initiative encompasses a thorough evaluation of equipment throughout more than 50 campus buildings, alongside infrastructure repairs, boiler upgrades, and comprehensive reviews of the electrical and water systems.
- EMU’s energy conservation efforts target a 17.5% decrease in energy use per square foot, which corresponds to cutting energy consumption similar to taking about 2,500 gasoline-powered cars off the road or the annual energy use of roughly 1,700 households.
- By Summer 2025, various improvements—including upgrading to energy-efficient LED fixtures, enhancing building management systems, and advancing automation technologies—will be finished throughout campus facilities, promoting sustained environmental benefits and aiding EMU’s efforts to boost its national AASHE STARS sustainability ranking.
