Stanford’s Green Building Page

Y2E2 is not the only building Stanfords webpage flaunts. Can we hold them to it?

Yes… It talks about the green dorm.

I knew this had to be out there somewhere, but I just never knew where. Sorry to all of you for whom this is obvious. It’s a page about what Stanford is currently doing to be sustainable, off the SustainableStanford site, in the realm of buildings. I talks all about the performance goals, and how Y2E2 and the Jasper Ridge Field Station have won all these awards, but then it talks about how sustainable they are because they’re building a new dorm. Maybe we can hold them to it!

“The upcoming Green Dorm will be a living laboratory for sustainability and represent the latest in sustainable building technology and practice. It’s expected to generate more electricity than it uses, emit no net carbon and use half the water of comparable dorms.”

About Michael Delgado

I am a junior majoring in the Structures and Construction track of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Having grown up in the forest-surrounded Ashland, Oregon, I have an acute appreciation for nature and the outdoors. Since coming to Stanford, I have found a new passion for all things sustainable and eco-friendly. I decided to pursue Green Architecture after a long trek from my initial declaration in Biochemistry. In my free time, I like to ski, climb, and create more free time when I really should be working. On the Green Dorm project, I am very much interested in the technical aspects of the design, but also in the social implications, such as how people respond to monitoring, the student-researcher dynamic, and creating welcoming living and study spaces.
