  13. ACUPCC Process / Performance Contracting • Establish a baseline • Consider reduction strategies • Implement strategies • Measure results against baselines We deliver enduring performance.

  14. Performance Contracting Helps Meet ACUPCC Requirements • Understanding baselines and their significancein ongoing measurement of progress • Understanding the interaction of potential mitigation strategies in order to determine their real impact • Providing ongoing reporting to meetestablished requirements • Providing a funding stream to implementmitigation strategies We deliver enduring performance.

  15. Establishing Your Carbon Footprint (Baseline) • Guidelines from ACUPCC Implementation Guide • Encourages utilization of a standard protocol • Suggests use of “Campus Calculator” from Clean Air-Cool Planet • Ongoing reporting requirement to show progress We deliver enduring performance.

  16. Use of Campus Calculator • Inputs • Utility data provides the majority of the CO2 output • Scope 1 emissions – central plant – domestic HW heating • Scope 2 emissions – off site generation – largely electricitybut purchased steam • Campus data regarding travel and fleet • Scope 1 and 3 emissions – transportation • This section is the most difficult to pin down We deliver enduring performance.

  17. Sample Output from Campus Carbon Calculator We deliver enduring performance.

  18. Impacts on the Baseline • Weather • Student Population • Campus Growth or Decline We deliver enduring performance.

  19. Sample Output from Campus Carbon Calculator We deliver enduring performance.

  20. Sample Output from Campus Carbon Calculator We deliver enduring performance.

  21. Points to Consider when Establishing a Baseline • For scope 1 and 2 emissions, enter as much historical utility data as possible • Include information on campus dynamics in yourreporting process • Work toward benchmark data, eg. MMBtu/sq. ft., number CO2/student, or /square footage • Think trajectory, not snap shots in time • Always use actual data where it exists and makeeducated estimates where it does not We deliver enduring performance.

  22. What’s Next • Once you know where you are, you will knowwhere you aren’t! • Clean Air-Cool Planet’s upcoming version(some “what if” tools) • Controlling your trajectory We deliver enduring performance.

  23. Mitigation Option Evaluation • Potential to avoid or reduce CHG emissions • Flexibility as a step towards future emissions-reduction measures • Return on investment or financial impact • Potential to create positive and/or negative socialand environmental side-effects • Relationship to other potential measuresand opportunities for synergistic measures • Potential to be scaled upward if successful • Potential to involve students and faculty We deliver enduring performance.

  24. How Can You Know You Will Get What You Expect? • Premise – if you reduce energy consumption you reduce CO2 emissions • Is there a way to guarantee energy reduction? • Why is it important to be assured that a mitigationstrategy will work? We deliver enduring performance.

  25. How Can You Know You Will Get What You Expect? Faulty Assumptions We deliver enduring performance.

  26. How Can You Know You Will Get What You Expect? Faulty Assumptions We deliver enduring performance.

  27. How Can You Know You Will Get What You Expect? 225% Overstated Faulty Assumptions We deliver enduring performance.

  28. Sample Output from Campus Carbon Calculator We deliver enduring performance.

  29. Baselines and Climate Action Plans • Use real data where possible • Use the baseline as a guide to attacking the largesources of CO2 emissions • Beware of CO2 reduction based upon assumptions • Real CO2 emissions come only from real energy savings We deliver enduring performance.

  30. Meeting Program Deadline Requirements • Reporting Frequency • Within 2 months of signature • Create “institutional structures” to guide developmentand implementation of Climate Action Plan (CAP) • Broad based among campus community • High level participants empowered to enact plans • Identify 2 tangible actions • Must be implemented before end of year 2 • Within 1 year of signature • Report results of GHG emissions inventories • Must identify calculator used and source of emissions coefficients We deliver enduring performance.

  31. Meeting Program Deadline Requirements • Reporting Frequency • Within 2 years of signature • Implemented at least 2 tangible actions • Updated GHG emissions inventory • Submit CAP • Includes target date for achieving climate neutrality • Includes interim milestones prior to target date We deliver enduring performance.

  32. Meeting Program Deadline Requirements • Elements of Climate Action Plan (CAP) • Details of institution plans to achieve climate neutrality • Plans to make climate neutrality and sustainability partof curriculum and to share knowledge within community • Mechanisms for tracking progress on goals and actions • Recommendation to incorporate CAP into comprehensive sustainability plan We deliver enduring performance.
