Redaptive Partners with Institute for Advanced Study Campus
on a Net-Neutral Renewable Energy and Efficiency Project

Challenge

The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) committed to achieving net neutral emissions. In order to achieve this goal, IAS partnered with Redaptive to conduct a multi-phase installation of green technologies and retrofits across its 800-acre campus.

Solution

Redaptive developed a comprehensive two-phase plan to achieve net neutral emissions. Redaptive first reduced IAS energy consumption through efficiency measures then generated renewable energy to match the lowered energy consumption load.  In phase-1, Redaptive replaced LED lighting and installed VFD’s, waste heat recovery systems, ionic bipolarization systems to remove VOCs, and harmonic mitigating transformers. In phase-2 Redaptive installed a Geothermal field, Water to water heat pumps, and modernized BMS systems.

Impact

The two-phase program resulted in significant energy reduction. The reduced electricity consumption will avoid 3,100 metric tons of CO2 emissions over the service term.
