This Campus Energy Management Plan sets forth a goal of reducing energy consumption in
state funded buildings on city and east campuses by at least 15% by 2015. The existing campus
energy infrastructure and current building energy use indices are presented to provide
background and context.

Several concurrent energy conservation strategies are recommended to meet the stated
reduction goal. These encompass the functional areas of: existing buildings, new construction
and renovations, utility plants, energy data collection and analysis, communication, energy
project processes, and energy information systems.

In addition to the main goal of energy reduction, this plan will achieve several other objectives
including:

- Reduction of energy costs, peak electric / gas loads and greenhouse gas emissions
- Improved communication with the campus community regarding energy usage and
ongoing conservation efforts


The measurable objectives, strategies and timeframes included in the Energy plan(s):

Reduce UNL's utility use by at least 3% per year for five years.With a minimum energy reduction goal of 15% by 2015

Concurrent objectives:
- Reduce energy cost (per square foot, constant dollars),
- Reduce peak electric and gas requirements,
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
- Set an example of sustainability and green leadership, and
- Provide information to the campus community in order to help others reduce their
energy use
