A brief description of the institution’s sustainability projects fund:
funding stream has been approved explicitly allowing for CAP‐initiated projects to begin in fiscal year 2011. Increasing levels of annual funding are provided through fiscal year 2022, from which date CAP funding will remain level (in 2011 dollars). Based on conservative estimates of future energy costs and of energy savings achievable with current technologies, the savings generated by CAP‐initiated projects should fully offset annual program costs starting in fiscal year 2023, with positive program‐to‐date cash flow being achieved from fiscal year 2030 forward. This positive cash flow is estimated to be an order of magnitude greater than will be required to pay for GHG offsets during the out‐years of the CAP, even under technologically conservative assumptions.
A brief description of the multi-stakeholder decision-making process used to determine which projects receive funding through the sustainability projects fund:
The University Business, Finance and Administrative Services, Financial Planning and Resource Management Department, Campus Development and Facilities Operations,
and the Office of Budget and planning. To submit a project a department needs to prove the request is in line with the Climate Action Plan.
