长期以来,亚特兰大历史中心一直在努力实现可持续发展目标,近年来我们将重点放在减少能源使用和市政用水量上。
We’ve made great strides in both areas and continue to be laser focused on reducing energy use and municipal water use further still. Our Goizueta Gardens are now entirely on well water. We dug a new well and now have two. We also found and fixed a few leaks along the way in the potable water system.
We are actively fundraising for solar, for instance, and continue to upgrade mechanical equipment.
We also recently participated in the New England Museums Association’s Culture Over Carbon program.
Our current initiatives are:
1. Replace a chiller with a more efficient one in the main chiller plant (this is donor funded and the chiller is on order)
2. Upgrade our building controls software to a new version with better security and a more usable interface. This is also donor funded.
