Decarbonization in Progress

Construction projects supporting Dartmouth's decarbonization efforts are resuming. Key areas will include regions surrounding E. Wheelock Street and Fayerweather. Construction will start soon on the Tunnel under the Green, Reed and Bartlett halls, and Floren Varsity and Leverone Field houses south of Memorial Field.  

A distribution piping upgrade is underway on E. Wheelock Street between College Street and Crosby Street. All sidewalks in this area are open to pedestrians.

Dartmouth's priority is our steam to hot water transition. Steam distribution piping will be replaced with new, highly efficient hot water piping. Buildings will be updated to receive hot water distribution.

About the Program

As a climate change action leader, Dartmouth is investing $500 million to reach carbon zero operations by 2050. How will we do it? We must reshape how we heat, cool, and power our campus, including drastically reducing energy consumption, constructing highly efficient new buildings, and transitioning to low-carbon energy sources. The addition of an expanded geo-exchange system to our campus energy technology portfolio will help us meet our energy needs without generating operational carbon emissions.

Project Milestones

  • Distribution upgrades complete by 2030
  • Geo-exchange borefields to be installed by 2028
  • Geo-exchange plants expected to be operational by 2030
