OPJU is unwavering in its commitment to mitigating its climate impact by actively working towards emissions reduction and energy conservation. These proactive strategies not only minimize OPJU's ecological footprint but also enhance the campus's ability to withstand climate-related challenges such as severe storms, flooding, and droughts
OPJU’s greenhouse gas reduction program and energy conservation programs go hand in hand. Despite campus growth, OPJU has reduced energy use and greenhouse gas emissions per square foot significantly.
Some ways that OPJU continuously works to improve outdoor air quality on campus include:
Replacing gasoline-powered equipment with electric versions
Designating OPJU as a Tobacco-Free Campus
Implementing a Refrigerant Management Program aimed at reducing the emission of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs).
