Hanover, NH According to Skanska, its program management and consulting group, Skanska Integrated Solutions (SIS), has been selected by Dartmouth College to oversee the design and construction for its decarbonization program, a 10-15-year initiative involving 5.5 million s/f of facilities and an evaluation of utility-scale clean energy sources.

“We’re incredibly excited to begin construction for Dartmouth’s decarbonization program, which represents an important step forward for the school’s efforts to decarbonize its campus,” said Keith Martin, vice president, SIS operations, Skanska USA Building. “SIS has been at the forefront of sustainable design and construction, and we look forward to helping Dartmouth transform its infrastructure to be more sustainable while still meeting its energy needs.”

The program will include the implementation of new geo-exchange borefields, geo-exchange heat pump plants, new hot and chilled water distribution system, and conversions of all campus buildings from steam to hot water.

SIS has overseen the design and construction of a multitude of Skanska’s most sustainable projects across the country and is playing a crucial role in helping the company reach its goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions along its entire value chain by 2045, with a 70% reduction in controlled emissions by 2030 globally.
