Equipment

Equipment covers a broad category of items, including equipment for sports, labs, and facilities. Hundreds of items are purchased on campus through multiple departments.

The Office of Sustainability and the Procurement Office work directly with key departments to incorporate sustainable purchasing criteria and provide evaluation advice. For example, sustainability clauses are standard text in RFPs and tender documents. Common strategies are used to capture key equipment categories.

Electrical and mechanical equipment

From pumps, motors, chillers, boilers, lights, air handlers, heat pumps, etc., annual and ongoing reviews are held with Facilities Management planners to review projects and discuss sustainability criteria and technical specifications for electrical and mechanical equipment. The Office of Sustainability spearheads projects to upgrade to more sustainable products such as a recent deployment of high-efficiency pumps across the agricultural campus.

Lab equipment

Ongoing work is being focused on sustainability criteria for lab equipment. Studies and audits are undertaken on equipment in labs and lab buildings including equipment that uses once-through potable water and the type, energy and water use, and number of lab equipment in buildings. Projects to date include converting once-through water equipment to geo-exchange cooling and providing co-funding for higher efficient research related equipment.

More initiatives will be rolled out in the near future.
