Finding and Discussion
Building
First of all, the campus committee a Building Focused Team to lead cooperation between academic staff, students and the public. Majority of the academic activities and sports take place inside of buildings such as classrooms, auditoriums, engineering labs as well as stadiums. In order to build a green campus, the team works towards build sustainable constructions.

All construction project in recent Cornell campus is following National Green Building Council’s leaderships, and some of buildings …show more content…
There are over twenty- thousand students and staff, Cornell University accounts for 0.1 percent of the overall electricity use of New York State. University’s commitment to energy system has achieved university a high-effective pioneer in pursuit of both energy consumption and renewable energy supply. Strategies to continuing supply electricity is to apply wind force, water, and solar energy to replace traditional coral combustion motor; as a result, newer power system encourages the development of sustainable energy and nearly eliminate the poison gas
