Description

The Energy iCAP Team is a new team combining the efforts of the Energy Conservation and Building Standards and the Energy Generation, Purchasing and Distribution iCAP Teams.

The Energy iCAP Team is a committee of faculty, staff and students who track progress and recommend action on the iCAP objectives related to energy conservation and generation. The team explores energy conservation opportunities, changes to building standards for sustainability, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions with regards to energy generation, purchasing and use. The team’s experts are available to discuss opportunities and recommending initiatives for reducing our carbon footprint from energy demand.

Background

This team focuses on the objectives found in Chapter 2 of the iCAP 2020:

2.1 By FY24, develop a comprehensive energy planning document that includes a detailed strategy for meeting the FY50 net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions goal.

2.2 Reduce Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of university facilities from the FY08 baseline by: 45% by FY30, 50% by FY40, and 60% by FY50.

2.2.1 Improve efficiency of space use by minimizing the square footage per person and updating the Space Policy in the Campus Administrative Manual (CAM) by FY23. The responsible campus unit for championing this objective is Provost. 

2.2.2 Reduce the total annual energy consumption of each college-level unit by at least 20% from an FY15 baseline by FY35. The responsible campus unit for championing this objective is Units with F&S.

2.3 Use clean energy sources for 15% of total campus energy demand by FY30. The responsible campus unit for championing this objective is F&S.

2.3.1 Use at least 140,000 MWh/year of clean power by FY25. The responsible campus unit for championing this objective is F&S.

2.3.2 Use at least 150,000 MMBTU/year of clean thermal energy by FY30. The responsible campus unit for championing this objective is F&S.
