1 A ROAD MAP TO NET-ZERO CARBON FOR CAMPUSES

2 Today CO2e The Low-Carbon Campus Roadmap Regulatory Analysis Understanding the implications of: Cap & Trade, mandatory energy reporting and other federal and provincial low-carbon initiatives is a critical step towards understanding the 'value' of carbon to your institution. External Forcing Factors Factors that are outside of the direct control of your organization will have an impact on your future carbon emissions. Examples include, changes to the carbon intensity of the electricity grid, increases in student population, the changing climate, among many others. It is important to think about how these factors could potentially impact your carbon footprint. Vision & Goals We recommend establishing both near term goals and a longterm visions. Near term goals should align with goals established by governing public agencies and strike the balance between inspirational and reality. A long-term vision can be a 'moon shot' that does not necessarily need a date tied to it and should be an expression of your organizations commitment to sustainability. Carbon Inventory It is important to have an understanding of your sources of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. There are many ways we can help in this regard from the analysis of data you have already collected to supporting you in the development of processes to identify and inventory emissions going forward. Time Near Term Project Planning Achieving your established near term goal requires identifying projects that have the potential for a large "bang for your buck" impact from a from a carbon reduction perspective. We can help identifying potential projects and to estimate their potential carbon impact, examples of such projects could include: lighting retrofits, adjustments to building operational schedules, or the addition of 'smart' automated controls. Funding Applications Carbon is on the agenda at all levels of government. We can help you identify and apply for public funding opportunities that can be the key to enabling identified near and long term projects. Long Term Project Planning Achieving a long-term vision, such as carbon neutrality, requires thinking big. We can help with planning and estimating the carbon potential of projects such as: bio-based energy generation, building-to-building energy sharing, conversion to electrically fueled heating systems, among many others.
