Using the plans “Strategic – Steps To Success”; including campus energy coordinators, energy committees, energy policy development, data collections, baseline and action planning. Energy projects are identified and compete in the State Capital biennially budget process. The Mansfield Campus Framework (Master) Plan completed in March 2013 incorporates energy philosophy into facilities planning for the next 50 years.
