Welcome to University of Miami's Building Storyboard This engaging interactive tool demonstrates UM's leadership in environmental stewardship and sustainability. The Storyboard provides real-time utility data in an effort to reduce our consumption and carbon footprint. Use the tool and the map to compare your building's consumption over time and benchmark it against other buildings on campus. In 2007, UM entered the American College and University President's Climate Commitment, and announced that all new buildings would be designed and constructed to reach a minimum standard of LEED Silver rating. The University is home to the first high-rise in South Florida that was designed and built for energy efficiency and sustainability. The University has LEED certified 1.2 M SF of Green Buildings to date and is in the process of developing an additional 727K SF of LEED certified facilities. Visit miami.edu/sustainability |

Buildings play an important role in Miami-Dade County's resilience efforts. For this reason, the County is embarking on a new initiative, Building Efficiency 305 (BE305), to increase energy and water efficiency in large public and private buildings countywide. University of Miami collaborates with Miami Dade County on this important sustainability program. |

The North Studio is set to offset approx. 12.6% of its annual electricity consumption with onsite renewable energy via fixed tilt solar PV rooftop panels, rated at 50.8 kW DC (39.1 kW AC). In combination with the building's other energy efficiency improvements, the North studio uses approx. 46% less energy than typical buildings in this climate zone. The South Studio is set to offset approx. 8.9% of its annual electricity consumption with onsite renewable energy via fixed tilt solar PV rooftop panels, rated at 20.8 kW DC (16 kW AC). In combination with the building's other energy efficiency improvements, the South studio uses approx. 27% less energy than typical buildings in this climate zone. |
