Rider University engages Spiezle for Carbon Neutrality Study

Spiezle Architectural Group, Inc. is pleased to complete its third carbon neutrality study. Previously, the firm completed plans for The College of New Jersey and its corporate headquarters. Rider University, a signatory of the President’s Climate Commitment, is a working with Spiezle to conduct energy and sustainability audits, along with the required analyses, to prepare and finalize a Campus Carbon Neutrality Study to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the university.

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.
