1 TULANE UNIVERSITY Climate Action Planning: Work In Progress October 28, 2014
2 Climate Action Planning for Tulane University A presentation of work underway to develop a Climate Action Plan for Tulane. An opportunity for students and the university community to learn about the Climate Action Planning process, review the analysis of actions that could reduce university greenhouse gas emissions, and provide their insights. Downtown: Tuesday, Oct. 28, Noon-12:50 pm, Tidewater Building Room 1201 Uptown: Tuesday, Oct. 28, 3:30-4:45 pm, Freeman Auditorium, Woldenberg Art Center Contact: Liz Davey Office of Sustainability ldavey@tulane.edu To learn more, visit:

11 ENERGY TRANSPORTATION AVOID Avoid consumption of energy in any form REDUCE Reduce consumption including in energy supply REPLACE Replace fuels with no or lower carbon footprint OFFSET Offset emissions that can not be otherwise eliminated AVOID Use non-motorized modes or forgo the trip SHARE Share rides via carpool, vanpool or transit REPLACE Use vehicles with lower carbon footprint OFFSET Offset emissions that can not be otherwise eliminated
12 Energy Supply Working Group Estimated the impact of building energy use on Tulane s current and future GHG emissions Evaluated the use of certain current equipment at Uptown Campus (e.g. combined heat and power) Explored technology choices for investment in renewable Identified means of making the building energy performance standards for new construction and major renovations more aggressive AVOID Avoid consumption of energy in any form REDUCE Reduce consumption including in energy supply REPLACE Replace fuels with no or lower carbon footprint OFFSET Offset emissions that can not be otherwise eliminated
13 Energy on the Uptown Campus: Biggest Decision
14 Energy Demand Working Group Identified opportunity for GHG emissions & cost effective investments in energy conservation in Tulane buildings Explored that value of accelerated building energy use data collection, monitoring and reporting as a means of energy management Quantified the GHG emissions and cost savings value of enhanced building operational efficiency Quantified value and cost of more aggressive in energy efficient design for new buildings and major renovations AVOID Avoid consumption of energy in any form REDUCE Reduce consumption including in energy supply REPLACE Replace fuels with no or lower carbon footprint OFFSET Offset emissions that can not be otherwise eliminated
15 Energy Conservation Measures Technology based investments - variable speed drive pumps constant volume to variable air volume, dedicated outside air systems, exhaust air heat recovery, variable volume fume hood, window replacement, solar thermal, demand control ventilation, lighting upgrade Building management-linked investments - temperature setbacks, HVAC scheduling, retro-commissioning, building metering, plug load management, fume hood decommissioning Energy literacy campaign investments: energy demand reduction competitions, sharing building energy use data, establishing energy use reduction goal for each incoming class, Higher construction standards for energy efficiency
16 Transportation Working Group Projected GHG emissions reduction impact and cost of: University fleet fuel efficiency Business travel standards and electronic collaboration program A suite of steps to improve commuting Explored the potential for enhanced partnerships to advance shared transportation objectives. AVOID Use non-motorized modes or forgo the trip SHARE Share rides via carpool, vanpool or transit REPLACE Use vehicles with lower carbon footprint OFFSET Offset emissions that can not be otherwise eliminated
17 GHG Abatement Potential Estimating the savings, costs and emissions reductioneffectiveness of potential GHG emissions reductions activities. GHG Emission Reductions Savings/Cost
18 18 Tulane University Abatement Potential* Values are draft as of * This abatement chart excludes GHG offsets and Renewable Energy Credits
19 Tulane University Abatement Potential*
20 Recommended Near Term Portfolio (2015 to 2020) * Invest in energy conservation, steam production and distribution efficiency, transportation and use existing cogeneration assets. *includes Condensing Economizer, Chilled Water Retro-commissioning, and Distribution Efficiency 20
21 Recommended Mid Term Portfolio (2020 to 2025) * Invest in energy conservation and transportation programs. *includes Condensing Economizer, Chilled Water Retro-commissioning, and Distribution Efficiency 21
22 Recommended Long Term Portfolio (2025 and after) Re-evaluate CAP in 2025 * Invest in energy conservation and renewable energy technologies. *includes Condensing Economizer, Chilled Water Retro-commissioning, and Distribution Efficiency 22
23 GHG Emissions Reductions Over Time 2012 GHG baseline 2020 Goal: 15% GHG reduction 2025 Goal: 29% GHG reduction * *includes Condensing Economizer, Chilled Water Retro-commissioning, and Distribution Efficiency 23
24 Student Global Citizenship Working Group Sustainability is the University s culture. An Energy Literacy Campaign will enhance this and further tether it to Climate Change/GHG emissions reductions: Leadership commitments Classroom learning Experiential learning Behavioral change Multiple funding sources
25 Discussion and Feedback (from Uptown audience 10/28/14) Tulane abatement what role for renewables? Does this study address divestment? Duke University plan appears more ambitious. Why? Building metering status at Tulane? Waste look at compost How did we model energy conservation measures? Travel between campuses two main and smaller campuses. Did this information inform our work? Thermal comfort Implementation how structure? Supply chain should be a distinct part of the plan Green revolving fund can t endowment support this? Building on campus with 6 mechanical systems. There are many established technologies that outperform more modern ones.
26 Discussion and Feedback (continued from previous slide) Which universities represent best practices? What can Tulane learn from how they are structured? Can we recommend a 12- oint plan to address this challenge? Have we considered green roofs? We should address food on campus. Animal farming is GHG intensive. Reaching neutrality through third part activity. Offsets are only being counted if the activity is positive. Savings from energy supply investments should be noted. Reinvestment of those savings should be shown.
27 Discussion and Feedback (from Downtown audience 10/28/14) Waste 2% of campus GHG. Does the university count human waste? What is the university strategy for reducing emissions related to solid waste? Carbon credits will Tulane have a relationship with offset providers? Preference would be for local offsets as the priority. Blue carbon. (Tierra Resources local company in this areas) How soon renewables? They are important for their visibility, among other reasons. What visibility will the campaign have? Communication is key. Is there a strategy for collaborating, sharing Tulane s interests and intent with others in the region (City of New Orleans, other institutions)? EHS and climate change connections.
