The College of New Jersey Awards Carbon Neutrality Study to Spiezle Architectural Group, Inc.

(Trenton, NJ) – Spiezle Architectural Group, Inc., a regional architectural and sustainable design firm, is pleased to announce that The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), a signatory of the Presidents Climate Commitment, recently awarded the firm its Campus Carbon Neutrality Study.

Spiezle Architectural Group, Inc., working closely with a volunteer steering committee at the college, will conduct energy and sustainable audits, along with the required analyses, to prepare a Campus Carbon Neutrality Study to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the college with the goal of assisting the committee to achieve its carbon neutrality and sustainability goals

A combination of approaches and strategies will be explored, including modifications to campus operations, upgrades and expansion of existing energy technologies and energy generation systems, implementation of new energy technologies, energy efficient retrofits of existing buildings’ energy systems and envelopes (LEED EB), use of sustainable bio fuel in combustion equipment, and the potential use of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to provide carbon offsets, where no other practical form of technology is available.

The comprehensive scope of this study and its implementation will establish TCNJ as a leader in green house gas reduction and carbon neutrality.

Having recently completed their own carbon neutrality study for the 15,000 Sq. Ft. Spiezle headquarters, the firm’s experience, dedication and expertise on sustainability were important factors in being chosen to assist and work closely with a volunteer committee at the college to implement its sustainability and carbon neutrality initiatives.
