EnergizeGU

Energy is at the heart of everything we do–it heats and cools our buildings, lights our homes, gets us where we need to go, and so much more. However, energy comes with a large environmental and energy cost. Increasing Georgetown’s energy efficiency means we reduce greenhouse gas emissions and total energy usage, while still powering our buildings and vehicles.As part of our Catholic, Jesuit mission to “Care for Our Common Home,” we have embraced energy-efficiency as a commitment and collaborative effort. Energy-efficiency opportunities are everywhere across our campuses, and everyone can play a role. From upgrading over 70,000 lightbulbs across campus with environmentally friendly LEDs to a multi year project replacing underground piping on Healy lawn, we are working every day to build a more energy-efficient future for all Hoyas.Every October, we celebrate our annual #EnergizeGU campaign to spotlight and promote energy efficiency across our campus. Join us to learn how the University is doing to become more energy efficient, how industry is reducing greenhouse gas emissions and how you can be more energy efficient too.
