About Us
Congratulations!
• FOR JOINING YOUR PEERS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING
• FOR COMMITTING TO AN AGGRESSIVE GOAL TO ELIMINATE GREENHOUSE GAS (GHG) EMISSIONS AT YOUR UNIVERSITY
• FOR TAKING AN EARLY LEADERSHIP POSITION IN ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE
The ACUPCC Commitment & Timeline
WITHIN 2 MONTHS WITHIN 1 YEAR WITHIN 2 YEARS ONGOING
ESTABLISH INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE
SELECT 2 OF 7 ACTIONS
INITIATE THE 2 SELECTED ACTIONS
COMPLETE GHG INVENTORY UPDATE GHG INVENTORY EVERY YEAR
DEVELOP CLIMATE ACTION PLAN & SET TARGET DATE TO REACH CARBON NEUTRALITY EXECUTE THE PLAN
MAKE PROGRESS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE
WHAT’S REALLY NEEDED?• Have you developed a campus-wide carbon
footprint? Are you satisfied with it?
• Inventory of current GHG Emissions & forecast into the future
• An Inventory Management Plan (IMP) and tools that allow for updating, tracking and auditing
HOW CAN JOHNSON CONTROLS &ECONERGY HELP?
• Econergy has developed GHG inventories for ~100 major corporations, institutions, and governments worldwide
• Econergy selected by US EPA to provide GHG inventory support for prestigious US EPA Climate Leaders program
• Johnson Controls engaged Econergy to develop its own global GHG inventory
A Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality: First Steps
• Establish GHG Inventory• Establish GHG Inventory
• Develop Climate Action Plan• Set Target Date for Neutrality
• Execute a Climate Action Plan• Initiate 2 of 7 Actions
• Provide ongoing GHG updates and tracking
A Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality: Creating a Strategy
WHAT’S REALLY NEEDED?• Capability to identify, analyze and prioritize
emission mitigation strategies Prioritization based on GHG reduction
potential, technical feasibility and cost
• Expertise to translate strategies into an integrated Climate Action Plan comprising a least-cost set of execution steps
• Our “wedge” approach offers a uniquely prioritized path to carbon neutrality
• The wedges are customized to your situation
• We bring 14 years of experience as a pioneer of the carbon management specialty
HOW CAN JOHNSON CONTROLS & ECONERGY HELP?
• Establish GHG Inventory • Develop Climate Action Plan• Set Target Date for Neutrality
• Develop Climate Action Plan• Set Target Date for Neutrality
• Provide ongoing GHG updates and tracking
• Execute Climate Action Plan• Initiate 2 of 7 Actions
A Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality: Putting it Together
WHAT’S REALLY NEEDED?• Capability to turn a customized strategy into programmatic actions in an integrated way
• Ability to access funding and other resources to make the plan a reality
• Specialized experience to select the most cost-efficient and effective 2 actions to implement immediately
• Ability to develop a comprehensive public relations and communications program aimed at the university community and beyond
HOW CAN JOHNSON CONTROLS & ECONERGY HELP? • Over 9 million tons of carbon emissions avoided through energy efficiency programs
• Over $4 Billion of total energy savings guarantees
• Comprehensive Climate Action Plans designed for dozens of clients
• On target to generate one billion gross kWh/year of renewable energy across the globe by 2009
• Programs and tools designed and tested over time that engage the broader academic community in energy efficiency and carbon management initiatives
• Establish GHG Inventory• Develop Climate Action Plan• Set Target Date for Neutrality
• Execute Climate Action Plan
• Initiate 2 of 7 Actions
• Execute Climate Action Plan
• Initiate 2 of 7 Actions
• Provide ongoing GHG updates and tracking
Includes:
• Carbon Footprint• Inventory
Management Plan• Preliminary Carbon
Mitigation Strategy (Wedge 1.0)
