Our Mission

The Office of Energy and Sustainability (OES) was established in accordance with the Virginia Tech Climate Action Commitment (VTCAC) Resolution approved by the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors on June 1, 2009, and it is responsible for monitoring energy usage and GHG emissions, overseeing the implementation of the VTCAC Resolution and the accompanying Sustainability Plan, coordinating programs for campus sustainability, and managing a campus wide student internship and undergraduate research program. OES consists of three full time members to include Fred Selby, the Energy and Sustainability Manager; Denny Cochrane, the Sustainability Program Manager; and Angie De Soto, the Campus Sustainability Planner. OES routinely coordinates with a number of other campus units with sustainability related missions to include Housing and Dining Services, Transportation and Campus Services, and Environmental Health and Safety Services.
