A brief summary of the climate plan’s short-term goals:
Within the following strategies being employed to meet the University’s long-term greenhouse gas emissions goal are short-term goals:
Campus Energy: Invest $45 million between 2009 and 2017 to reduce overall utility usage on campus, in part by improving the efficiency of the high-performance central cogeneration plant and the buildings it serves. These initiatives are being coordinated through an Energy Master Plan.
Green Building: Increase building efficiency in new construction and major renovation projects using Life Cycle Cost Analysis and strive for LEED Silver equivalency wherever applicable; use on-site renewables and alternative energy technologies, as well as natural resource conservation technologies, wherever cost-effective; build internal expertise to ensure consistent application of the University's Sustainable Building Guidelines across all projects.
Transportation: Encourage the use of public mass transit; develop and promote car pools and van pools; improve the on-campus transit system; provide and promote a car sharing service; improve the campus network of bicycle paths and walkways, and support and promote walking and biking; communicate information about the University's Transportation Demand Management programs; coordinate campus fleet management; standardize electric carts and ultra-low or zero-emission vehicles; track University-related air travel.
