Climate Neutral Research Campuses

The Climate Neutral Research Campuses Center of Excellence is dedicated to helping institutions significantly reduce their climate impact. Led by experts like Randy Lacey from Cornell University, the initiative builds on existing climate action resources and develops a comprehensive matrix of options. It leverages renewable energy knowledge to identify successful implementation case studies, provides assessment tools, and outlines action hierarchies. Focusing on unique campus needs, this approach showcases examples and technical resources from federal and energy organizations, promoting informed decisions toward sustainability.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Climate Neutral Research Campuses Center of Excellence Provides Resources to Achieve Climate Neutrality Randy Lacey Cornell University

  2. Is it possible to make a significant reduction in the climate impact of a large research campus?

  3. Climate Neutral Research Campuses Approach • Build on existing climate action resources – AASHE, NWF, APPA • Develop a matrix of climate action options • Leverage NREL expertise in renewable energy • Indentify successful implementation as reference cases • Provide tools for resource assessment, carbon impact • Define research campus as federal, academic, or private

  4. Climate Neutral Research Campuses THEMES • Each Campus is Unique • Hierarchy of actions – People, Conservation, Renewables, Offsets • A Portfolio of actions will be required • Deep Savings needed

  5. Campus GHG Comparison

  6. Campus options for each technology are presented

  7. Prompts help you decide if this technology is right for you

  8. For each technology a leading example has been selected. An effort was made to find examples of successful implementation with documented experience

  9. Other campus examples are also cited with web links

  10. Technical resource links are also provided

  11. Links are provided to a wealth of sites maintained by DOE, NREL, FEMP, EERE and other Federal organizations.

  12. Thank you for your attention. Questions?
