A brief summary of the climate plan’s long-term goals:
OIT’s Klamath Falls campus will achieve climate neutrality through a combination of conservation and retrocommissioning projects suggested by the consulting firm, McKinstry, in a 2009 report prepared for the Oregon University System; innovative renewable energy projects such as a “large” geothermal power plant and a solar concentrating facility; purchase of offsets for travel-related and other unmitigated emissions; and curricular, co-curricular, research, and public engagement activities. Through these efforts, OIT will be a leader in sustainable technologies and carbon emission reduction strategies in Southern Oregon by reducing its own emissions and by providing its graduates with essential skills and first-hand experience to influence GHG emissions reductions at their future places of employment.
None
