Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
A very successful Energy Management Program has been in place at the University of Alberta since the mid-1970s. The program has resulted in a cumulative carbon dioxide emissions reduction in excess of 2,300,000 tonnes since its inception in 1975/1976.
The university is currently in the final year of its seven-year $25,000,000 Energy Management Program, which upon completion is anticipated to reduce CO2 emissions by 27,000 tonnes per year.
The university has also initiated the next generation $35,000,000 Energy Management Program to be implemented over the next seven years, which is expected to reduce CO2 emisions by an additional 30,000 tonnes per year.
Finally, it should be noted that carbon offsets are purchased for many campus events throughout the year by many campus groups (student groups and administration), but we currently do not have a system for tracking these.
