2024, and is anticipated to offset 146 metric tons of carbon (CO2)
emissions per year. The system is now fully operational following
successful commissioning.
As Northeastern University embarks on environmentally
responsible strategies to decarbonize its campus, the Snell Library
Rooftop Solar Installation is an important milestone in a series of
building and energy investments to support the University’s
sustainability goals. Centered downtown, the University’s Boston
campus serves as a thoroughfare for the city’s vibrant communities
including the neighborhoods of Back Bay, Fenway, Roxbury, and the
South End. In an ode to the campus’s unique urban profile, the
Snell Library Rooftop Solar Installation represents an innovative
use case for urban on-grid solar PV integration and highlights the
immense potential for clean and renewable energy to transform the
very fabric of cities while supporting community sustainability
goals.
“This solar installation represents a key milestone on
Northeastern University’s path to decarbonization, and Ameresco is
honored to be a partner with the University on their journey,” said
Pete Christakis, Executive Vice President and General Manager of
the East Region at Ameresco. “Given Northeastern University’s
global prominence as a leading research university, this project
will serve as a model for how organizations can make sustainability
goals a reality by leveraging the versatility, cost-effectiveness,
and longevity of renewable sources of energy. This installation
also speaks to the value the University places on engaging its
communities of student and staff who everyday work, learn, and
connect in the landmark Snell Library.”
“Northeastern has made significant progress reducing the carbon
intensity of our buildings,” said Leah Bamberger, Executive
Director of Northeastern’s Climate Justice and Sustainability Hub.
“This project comes at an important time as we are developing plans
to fully decarbonize our buildings and eliminate harmful
emissions.”
To celebrate this exciting installation, Northeastern University
held a flip the switch ceremony on April 2nd, 2024, at the Snell
Library Quad. Speakers for the event included Michael Williamson,
Ameresco’s Director of PV & BESS Construction, East Region,
Leah Bamberger, Executive Director of Northeastern’s Climate
Justice and Sustainability Hub, Dan Cohen, Vice Provost for
Information Collaboration and Dean of the University Library, and a
current Northeastern Student.
