Executive Summary

Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) is a two-year institution of higher education located in Canandaigua, NY. Located on a 250-acre park-like campus, the College has 6,700 full-time and part-time students enrolled in more than 40 academic degree and certificate programs.

In support of the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), FLCC has made a long-range institutional commitment to carbon neutrality. In the fiscal year (FY) 2000 baseline year, FLCC’s GHG emissions were 8,161 metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2E). After accounting for institutional growth, FLCC’s gross emissions are expected to increase to 10,913 MTCO2E by 2013 and remain there under business-as-usual scenarios. As an interim goal to carbon neutrality, FLCC has set a target of reducing its GHG emissions to 10% below baseline (FY 2000) levels by 2020.

• For FLCC, this corresponds to an emissions target of 7,345 MTCO2E by 2020, or approximately 3,600 MTCO2E below business-as-usual emissions.

FLCC is committed to meeting its interim target. In addition, FLCC intends to achieve zero net GHG emissions by, or as soon after 2030 as technology will allow. As shown in the table and figure below, FLCC will utilize a portfolio of expected strategies to mitigate these emissions. Demand Side Management (DSM)

FLCC has begun incorporating sustainability into campus life through a variety of curricular and co-curricular offerings. These include courses and orientations that incorporate sustainability themes as well as initiatives related to student life, student housing, and athletics that address sustainability. FLCC will continue to engage the campus on sustainability by establishing individuals responsible for coordination of sustainability activities within each department or unit at FLCC. FLCC has developed an institutional structure for campus sustainability that includes the following organizations:

• Buildings and Grounds department

• Sustainability Committee o Presidents Climate Commitment (PCC): Operations o PCC: Curriculum o PCC: Student Life o Full-Time Sustainability Coordinator

These departments and committees will support the emissions reduction projects proposed in this Plan, by providing recommendations on funding, implementation, and measurement/verification of the projects. FLCC will consider utilization of the following funding sources for implementing emissions reduction projects:

• Capital Improvement Plan • NYSERDA incentives for energy efficiency

These recommendations will be updated within five years as additional analyses are completed. FLCC will also track progress toward goals through biennial public updates to its GHG emissions inventory.

1. Introduction

1.1. Institution: Finger Lakes Community College

Established in 1965, Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) opened its doors in September 1967 in Canandaigua, NY, 45 minutes southeast of Rochester. The first full-time freshman class entered in January 1968, with 85 full-time and 125 part-time students, and seven full-time faculty members. Today, the college’s main campus is located in a 250-acre park-like setting, minutes from the north shore of Canandaigua Lake. Current enrollment includes 6,700 full- and part-time students, the highest in its history, representing students from over 300 high schools in New York State, other states, and other countries. FLCC employs approximately 350 full-time and 250 part-time faculty and staff. FLCC is affiliated with the State University of New York, and has four locations: Canandaigua (the main campus), Geneva, Newark, and Victor Extension Center, with a view towards serving the needs of Ontario, Seneca, Wayne and Yates counties in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. This Climate Action Plan includes only those campuses where the College has operational control and can enforce a change in policy. Under this definition, only the main campus (Canandaigua) is covered for the purposes of this Climate Action Plan. The main campus conducts the majority of its classroom activities in a 325,000 sq. ft. multilevel building, and includes laboratories, classrooms, studios, a television station, a simulated nursing station, a greenhouse, an arboretum, a library, and a gymnasium. The campus grounds contain nature trails, outdoor classrooms, athletic fields, and the Constellation Brands – Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center.

1.2. Science: Climate Change Impact

In its Fourth Assessment Report, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) stated that:

• Warming of the climate system is “unequivocal” based on observations of temperatures, sea levels, and snow melts;

• Global concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) in 2005 far exceeded the natural range observed over the last 650,000 years; and

• Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is “very likely” (i.e., >90% confidence) due to the observed increase in anthropogenic or human-caused GHG concentrations.

Climate change will cause impacts on water resources, food production, ecosystems, weather patterns and human health in all parts of the world, including:

FLCC’s vision is to be the college of choice for students and a dynamic

regional learning resource, central to the cultural and economic vitality of

the area.

• Decreased water availability and increasing drought in mid-latitudes and semi-arid low latitudes;

• Decreased cereal productivity at low latitudes;

• Risk of extinction of global plant and animal species (up to 30% or even more depending on scenario);

• Increased warm spells, heat waves and heavy precipitation events; and

• Increased morbidity and mortality from changing weather patterns, changed disease vector distributions, and malnutrition.

Further, these effects will be felt over several decades due to the long atmospheric life spans of greenhouse gases.

1.3. Policy: Evolving Climate Change Policy and Legislation

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) coordinates international efforts to combat climate change. The Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC (United Nations, 1997) called on developed countries to reduce their total GHG emissions in the 2008 to 2012 commitment period by an average of 5% versus a 1990 baseline. Over the past decade, the European Union has undertaken high-profile steps to meet their Kyoto targets, including the establishment of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS, 2007).

While the United States has not participated in the Kyoto Protocol commitments, U.S. federal policy on climate change has developed rapidly in recent months as evidenced by the following:

• February 12, 2009: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009 allocates over $36 billion for energy efficiency, conservation and renewable programs

• March 10, 2009: The EPA releases a proposed rule for mandatory GHG reporting that would account for 85 - 90% of U.S. GHG emissions

• March 31, 2009: A proposed bill establishing a cap-and-trade system with mandatory GHG reduction targets is circulated among lawmakers (American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009)

• April 17, 2009: The EPA releases an endangerment finding stating that GHGs endanger human health and welfare; this was a follow-up to a 2007 U.S. Supreme Court ruling stating that CO2 was a pollutant and as such was subject to regulation by the EPA

• May 19, 2009: President Obama announces new vehicle fuel economy standards that harmonize states and the federal legislation / standards

• June 26, 2009: The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 passes the House of Representatives

• June 30, 2009: EPA grants waiver to the state of California to set its own, state-specific greenhouse gas emissions limits from cars

• September 22, 2009: EPA finalizes GHG mandatory reporting rule

Federal policies are evolving in the direction of aggressive, broad-based climate action.



3

While numerous high profile federal environmental policies are emerging from the current Administration, voluntary and mandatory programs have been on-going for some time at the local, state, and regional levels. Prominent among these are:

• EPA Climate Leaders

• The Climate Registry

• Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)

• California’s Global Warming Solutions Act (Assembly Bill 32)

• U.S. Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement

• American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC)

1.4. Commitment: The ACUPCC and Finger Lakes Community College

The American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) is an effort to make the U.S. Higher Education sector more sustainable, obtaining institutional commitments to “reduce and ultimately neutralize greenhouse gas emissions on campus” and “accelerate the research and educational efforts of higher education to equip society to re-stabilize the earth’s climate” (ACUPCC, 2007). Climate change poses a fundamental challenge to the way individuals and organizations use energy and resources. The ACUPCC presents an opportunity to lead by example, educating the next

generation of national, business and media leaders on how to address this challenge.

ACUPCC Commitment

“We believe colleges and universities must exercise leadership in their communities and throughout society by modeling ways to minimize global warming emissions, and by providing the knowledge and the educated graduates to achieve climate neutrality.”

Over 650 colleges and universities have committed to being carbon neutral at some point in the future. In March 2008, President Risser signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). Becoming a signatory to the ACUPCC requires implementation of the following:

• Establishing an institutional structure to oversee the school’s ACUPCC Commitment: With a

Sustainability Committee, an appointed Sustainability Coordinator, and active leadership

from Facilities staff, FLCC has the institutional structure for implementation of its

sustainability programs and outreach efforts.

• Completing a GHG emissions inventory within one year: FLCC has prepared GHG

inventories for multiple years (FY2000-FY2008; O’Brien & Gere, 2009).



4

• Developing a climate action plan (CAP) – including a target date for climate neutrality and interim progress milestones – within two years: The FLCC Climate Action Plan (CAP) – this

document – has been developed in accordance with the timeline.

• Choosing at least two of seven action steps towards GHG reduction: FLCC immediately

adopted two tangible actions: 1) Established a policy that all new campus construction will

be built to at least the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Silver standard or equivalent,

and 2) Adopted an energy-efficient appliance policy requiring purchase of ENERGY STAR

certified products in all areas for which such ratings exist.

• Implementing the work products of the CAP

• Integrating sustainability into the educational curriculum

• Making the CAP, GHG inventory, and progress reports publicly available: FLCC’s CAP,

GHG inventories, and progress reports are available on the AASHE website

http://acupcc.aashe.org/.

Beyond these activities, President Risser approved in summer 2009 a Sustainability Vision, Mission, and Philosophy that were crafted by the Sustainability Committee during the spring of 2009 (FLCC, 2009a).

1.5. Overall Approach: Development of the Climate Action Plan within the ACUPCC

Framework

The requirements of the ACUPCC signatory letter include development of an institutional action plan for becoming climate neutral (no net GHG emissions) by minimizing GHG emissions as much as possible through demand and supply side management and using carbon offsets or other measures to mitigate the remaining emissions.

The institutional climate action plan has been developed within two years of

signing the ACUPCC and includes:

• A target date for achieving climate neutrality as soon as possible;

• Interim targets for goals and actions that will lead to climate neutrality;

• Actions to make climate neutrality and sustainability a part of the curriculum and other educational experience for all students;

• Actions to expand research or other efforts necessary to achieve climate neutrality; and,

• Mechanisms for tracking progress on goals and actions.

FLCC’s Sustainability Mission Statement:

Finger Lakes Community College is dedicated to stewardship of the natural beauty of the area

through modeling and teaching sustainable practices that promote environmental, economic,

and social responsibility. We seek sustainability in our daily operations, curriculum, student

life, and community partnerships.



5

FLCC has taken dozens of steps towards becoming a more sustainable campus as part of its “Go Green” initiative, including:

• Converting 300+ fixtures to more efficient lighting

• Use of locally grown foods in the cafeteria when possible

• Rain garden to protect against erosion

• Several course offerings focusing on sustainability

• Regular hosting of webinars to reduce travel

• HVAC control system installation in Ontario Building

• Use of drop ceilings in several buildings to reduce heating and cooling needs

• Addition of recycling bins to classrooms and offices

• Multiple measures to save paper, including increased use of PDFs instead of printed copies, electronic assignment submission, payroll, and more.

1.6. Aligning the CAP with FLCC’s Future: College Planning Initiatives

Opportunities exist to align the goals and actions of the CAP with concurrent key initiatives driven by internal and external programs. The directives of these programs are summarized within the following plans:

• FLCC “Go Green” Initiative

• FLCC 2008-2013 Strategic Plan

• U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement

• New York State Governor’s Executive Order 24

Many components of these existing initiatives lend support to FLCC’s CAP or, in turn, can be supported and enhanced by the CAP as summarized below.

1.6.1. FLCC Go Green Initiative

FLCC’s Go Green initiative, launched in March 2008, strives to integrate sustainability into the following areas (FLCC, 2008):

1. Curriculum 2. Operations 3. Student Life 4. Community Outreach

The appointment of FLCC’s first-ever Sustainability Coordinator in September 2008 provided a boost to the College’s sustainability and outreach efforts, and provided a single point of contact for managing and coordinating a diverse set of activities.

FLCC has developed a “Sustainability Pledge” for its students to read and sign. Along with course offerings focusing on sustainability, signing the pledge encourages students to directly take responsibility for promoting sustainability, and to take appropriate actions to be more sustainable in their own lives. FLCC has also partnered with a local television station, Channel 8 WROC-TV/WUHF-TV, to produce and distribute “Green Reports” – informative, educational and inspirational segments on what it means to go green in the Finger Lakes region. Additionally, FLCC also organizes activities on events such as Earth Day and Campus Sustainability Day to further spread the message and improve understanding.

Sustainability is more than just

recycling. Sustainability means meeting

the needs of present generations

without compromising the ability of

future generations to meet their own

needs. This is about creating a better

world for all to live in.

- Kim Babcock, FLCC

Sustainability Coordinator

1.6.2. FLCC 2008-2013 Strategic Plan

FLCC’s five-year Strategic Plan (FLCC, 2009b) has the following broad goals:

Strategic Goal Description

Learning and Student Success To improve engagement, learning, and successful transfer/ employment

Strategic Growth To increase the enrollment of traditional and non-traditional students within the College service area by identifying and addressing emerging educational needs and new markets

Efficient and Effective Operations To strengthen the College’s financial position by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of college programs and operations

Community Value To increase the College’s cultural and economic impact on the service area

Of these, the goal of efficient and effective operations lends itself well to sustainability measures including some already being undertaken by FLCC. Other goals, such as those relating to growth, will need to be managed in light of its Sustainability Mission and its commitments to the ACUPCC. For example, the construction of new residential dorms to accommodate additional students has followed green building (LEED) design.

1.6.3. U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement

The U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement (2005) was an initiative launched by the U.S. Conference of Mayors to advance the goals of the Kyoto Protocol through leadership and action by American cities at the local level. This initiative was launched in February 2005, to coincide with the effective date of the Kyoto Protocol for the countries that had ratified it up to that point. The Agreement was endorsed at the 2005 U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting in June 2005 with 141 signatories. Today, over 1000 U.S. mayors have now signed on to the Agreement on behalf of their cities and

towns, including Canandaigua Mayor Ellen Polimeni. Other signatories from the region include the mayors of Brighton, Hornell, Irondequoit, Ithaca, Rochester, and Syracuse. Under the Agreement, participating cities commit to take the following three actions:

1. Strive to meet or beat the Kyoto Protocol targets in their own communities, through actions ranging from anti-sprawl land-use policies to urban forest restoration projects to public information campaigns;

2. Urge their state governments, and the federal government, to enact policies and programs to meet or beat the greenhouse gas emission reduction target suggested for the United States in the Kyoto Protocol – 7% reduction from 1990 levels by 2012; and

3. Urge the U.S. Congress to pass the bipartisan greenhouse gas reduction legislation, which would establish a national emission trading system.

1.6.4. New York State Governor’s Executive Order 24



7

Executive Order 24 applies to all greenhouse gas emissions from the State of New York, not just those associated with government agencies.

In August 2009, New York State Governor David Paterson signed Executive Order 24 (New York State, 2009) with the following objectives: (a) Setting a goal of reducing statewide GHG emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050; and (b) Requiring the drafting of a State Climate Action Plan by September 2010. This Plan is to be drafted by a Climate Action Council consisting of heads of various State agencies, including those associated with agriculture; economic development; energy; environmental conservation; and budget, among others.

1.7. Summary

The development and implementation of this CAP provides opportunities for shaping existing internal and external initiatives. In turn, these initiatives provide guidance for the priorities outlined in this CAP. In summary, this CAP has been developed in the context of complementary objectives including:

• FLCC’s sustainability vision

• FLCC’s strategic planning objectives

• Local and State climate action planning objectives Taken together, these plans hold the promise of making FLCC a more resourceful community that actively minimizes its impact on the environment while moving toward its long-term strategic goals.

2. Campus GHG Emissions

2.1. Baseline Year FY 2000

As part of its commitments under ACUPCC, Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) has prepared a baseline greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory and publicly posted it on the ACUPCC online reporting tool (AASHE, 2009a). In the baseline year, total gross emissions were 8,161 metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2E).

(Note: totals do not add up to 100% due to rounding)

The primary emission sources were commuting (students and faculty/staff) and purchased electricity, collectively accounting for approximately 85% of total annual gross emissions, with commuting alone accounting for 57%. As FLCC progresses toward the long-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality, these two sources will have to be prioritized in order to achieve meaningful overall GHG emissions reductions.

Total Emission Intensity per FTE 6.6 6.7 *Note: FTE represents the number of full-time equivalent students enrolled on the FLCC Main Campus for the Fall semester of the fiscal year, e.g., Fall 1999 for FY2000.

Over the FY 2000 to 2008 period, total GSF grew by 57% while total emissions increased by only 7%, resulting in a 32% decline in emission intensity per 1000 GSF. By contrast, total emission intensity per FTE in FY 2008 remained near FY 2000 baseline levels. As FLCC progresses towards its long-term goal of achieving effective carbon neutrality, emission intensity will have to continue to decline in order to reduce GHG emissions while allowing for institutional growth.

Figure 2.2. GHG Emission Intensity (GSF and FTE basis) for FY2000-08

For reference, average Scope 1-3 gross emission intensities for the Carnegie classification under “Associates and Tribal Colleges”, under which FLCC falls, are 29.02 MTCO2E/1000 GSF and 3.21 MTCO2E/FTE (AASHE, 2009b). In FY2008, FLCC’s emission intensities per 1000 GSF were 40% lower than the AASHE average; by contrast, emission intensities per FTE were 110% higher than the corresponding AASHE average.

2.2. Forecasting Emissions through 2035

Scope 1-3 emission sources were placed into two categories, based on whether they were more closely correlated to building space (GSF) or population (FTE). Accordingly, purchased electricity and stationary combustion were classified as sources more closely correlated with GSF, while mobile combustion, commuting, and air travel were classified as sources more closely correlated with FTE. Table 2.1 below lists the emissions intensities for FY2008.

Table 2.2. Emissions Intensity by Emissions Source (FY2008 data)

Emission

Intensity

Sources dependent on GSF (MTCO2E per 1000 GSF) Purchased electricity 5.22

Stationary combustion 1.07

Sources dependent on FTE (MTCO2E per FTE) Mobile combustion 0.15

Commuting 3.86

Air travel 0.02

Solid waste 0.25

Emissions intensity metrics for total GSF and total FTE were obtained from FLCC master planning documents (FLCC, 2007) and five-year projections (FLCC, 2009), respectively. For GSF, the sole addition considered relative to FY2008 was the new Student Services Center, expected to add 75,000 GSF starting FY2012. GSF values were assumed to remain unchanged thereafter through FY2050. However, it should be noted that new construction of a greenhouse and athletic field house are expected but planning details are not yet available. Fall semester intake under a moderate expansion scenario was considered for FTE projections through FY2013. FTE values were assumed to remain unchanged thereafter through FY2050. Table 2.2 lists these projections, as well as available data for FY2008 and FY2009.

Source emissions intensities from Table 2.1 were multiplied by GSF and FTE projections from Table 2.2 to forecast future GHG emissions by source (Figure 2.3), assuming a business-as-usual trajectory. These forecasts show an increase in business-as-usual emissions from 28,640 MTCO2E in the baseline year (FY2000) to 39,319 MTCO2E in 2010, and 45,122 MTCO2E in 2050. This represents a 37% increase in emissions by 2010, and a 58% increase in emissions by 2050, relative to the baseline level. It is this emissions increase that FLCC intends to arrest, and reverse, through the implementation of the present Climate Action Plan.

2.3. External Goals

The ACUPCC does not prescribe a timetable for when each signatory must achieve its long-term commitment to carbon neutrality. It is common practice for institutions involved in climate action to establish interim and long-term emissions reduction goals to facilitate planning for ambitious climate neutrality goals. Both science-based and policy-based targets can provide guidance for potential reduction goals. The table below summarizes various proposed goals at the local, national, and international level for GHG emissions reductions:

Table 2.4. Interim and Long-Term Climate Action Goals

Scope Organization GHG Emission Reduction Goal

Internationala Intergovernmental Panel on • 25% below 1990 levels by 2020b

Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) • 80% below 1990 levels by 2050b

National American Clean Energy and • 3% below 2005 level in 2012

Security Act of 2009b (ACESA, 2009)

• 20% below 2005 level in 2020



State New York Governor’s Executive Order 24 (2009)

• 80% below 1990 levels by 2050b

Local U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement (2005)

• 7% below 1990 levels by 2012b

a – also recommended in the ACUPCC Implementation Guide b – For the purposes of this table, FY2000 used as baseline for reductions instead of 1990. c – passed the U.S. House of Representatives on June 26, 2009

Under these external goals, FLCC would need to decrease GHG emissions by approximately 6,000 metric tons CO2E by 2030, and 10,000 metric tons CO2E by 2050, relative to the College’s business-as-usual trajectory. If FLCC begins taking action in 2010, this would involve reductions of 200-250 metric tons CO2E annually to meet the 2050 objective.

3. Campus Energy Consumption

3.1. Background

Greenhouse gas emissions are directly tied to energy consumption. Therefore, in order to effect meaningful GHG emissions reductions, it is instructive to look at the energy sources yielding these emissions. Further, from a practical perspective, it is prudent to investigate and disaggregate energy consumption over which an entity has direct control. This allows for establishment of an energy use baseline and allows for the identification of areas of greatest opportunity in energy consumption, similar to the objectives of the GHG base case described in Section 2. This section details the disaggregation of historical energy consumption at FLCC, primarily from an energy-use (i.e., billing) perspective. Detailed information from an electrical load perspective (lighting and plug loads) can be found in Appendices A and B of this CAP. Appendix A includes documentation of interior and exterior lighting fixtures, including the functional area, the area illuminated, the quantity of fixtures, and the energy usage of fixtures (kWh/yr). The interior lighting assessment is organized by building floor and considers both existing fixtures and the result of a proposed retrofit of existing T-12 and T-8 fluorescent lighting with high efficiency T-5 lighting fixtures. The exterior lighting assessment considers parking lot lights, roof mounted building lights, pedestrian access lighting and security lighting, and includes recommendations for day lighting controls. Appendix B includes documentation of campus plug loads. A room by room evaluation was performed to provide a sample and document the approximate quantity and type of plug loads throughout the campus. Plug loads identified in this assessment are separated into three major categories consisting of office and personal equipment, information technology equipment and other. The other category consists of specialty equipment or areas with equipment and systems that are unique to the particular area. Overall, plug loads account for electricity usage of 451,290 kWh annually, or approximately 6.9% of the total campus load. The single largest consumer is computers, monitors and IT equipment totaling approximately 89% of plug load.

3.2. Historical Energy Consumption Utility billing data for electricity and natural gas consumption at the college were examined to quantify the overall energy consumption, and to determine patterns and trends in the consumption that indicate the distribution of end-use energy at the college.

3.2.1. Electric Utility Billing Data One year of monthly electricity and natural gas data from NYSEG, the prevailing utility company, was examined. The data spans from November 2008 through November 2009 for electricity and October 2008 through October 2009 for natural gas. FLCC is served by seven utility accounts on three different electricity rates. The largest account serves the majority of the campus buildings (the “main” account), is on NYSEG Rate SC8 (large general service time-of-use) and has provisions for primary voltage delivery and hourly ESCO



16

commodity pricing. This account totals 6.43 million kWh/year of energy consumption, nearly 98% of the entire energy consumption for the campus. The next two largest accounts (the Day Care Center and Honors House) are on NYSEG rate SC7 (large general service time-of-use). These accounts total approximately 104,000 kWh/year combined, and account for less than 1% each of the annual energy consumption at the campus. Finally there are four small accounts (the Barn, P5, Hot Box #1 and Hot Box #2) on NYSEG rate SC2 (small general service with demand metering). These accounts combined total 37,000 kWh/year, and each account for less than 1% of the annual campus energy consumption. The combined campus energy consumption is 6.58 million kWh/year as shown in Table 3.1. The varied rates across the different billing accounts result in a marked difference in the average cost of energy between accounts. Accounts with lower energy use tend to have a higher cost of energy. Also, the main account is under an ESCO price option for eight months of the year examined, so the full energy charge for these months is not fully accounted for. Energy cost for these months are based on the average of the previous four months. Combined energy charges for the campus are estimated at $622,000/year, or an average cost of energy of 9.4¢/kWh.

Figure 3.1. Monthly Energy Consumption Trend – Combined Accounts

Figure 3.1 shows the monthly energy use trend for the combined campus. The energy use varies from a low of 461,000 kWh/month in May, when the campus is partially closed due to end of classes. This low electricity use also corresponds to mild ambient temperatures, indicated limited space heating or cooling during this month. Monthly electricity use peaks at 647,000 kWh/month in February – which corresponds to one of the darkest and coldest months. This increase in energy coincident with colder ambient temperatures indicates a substantial level of electric space heating operation at the campus.

3.2.2. Submetering Data

Supplementing the monthly utility data are submetering data for the main electrical service to the campus (the Main utility account). Daily energy data covering July 7, 2008 through December 12, 2009 (503 days) were available for analysis (Figure 3.2). The daily data follows the monthly data trend across the year, peaking in the winter and decreasing in both December and May when classes are reduced. The data also indicates a difference of 7,500 – 10,000 kWh/day between weekday and weekend/holiday operation.

Figure 3.2. Daily Main Service Submetered Data Trend

The daily data were plotted against ambient temperature to determine the extent of correlation in the electricity consumption to ambient conditions. Figure 3.3 displays the plot of daily energy versus ambient temperature, with weekday and weekend data plotted separately. Again, the 7,500 – 10,000 kWh/day difference between weekend and weekday data is observed. Both weekend and weekday data trends indicated a change-point model with relation to temperature. The change-point is where the trend changes slope from increasing energy with decreasing temperature to increasing energy with increasing temperature. There is a slight deadband between the change over from heating to cooling operation, where energy consumption is relatively flat. Heating

operation typically occurs below 45°F, and cooling operation occurs above 60°F. During cooling operation, on both weekends and weekdays, a group of days were observed with energy consumption below the trendline. This may be due to partial shutdown of some sections of the building during the summer (when the class load is lighter).

The increase in daily energy consumption from 60°F to 95°F indicates a peak daily energy consumption of 6,000 kWh/day for cooling – which is equivalent to a constant 300-ton cooling at 0.8 kW/ton (estimated for a small chilled water plant including pumps). This cooling load is in line with observed size of the two chillers (300-tons and 500-tons).

The increase in daily energy consumption from 45°F down to 0°F can be attributed to increase pump and fan operation during heating, as well as increased site lighting due to a decrease in the number of daylight hours in the winter period.

Figure 3.3. Daily Submetered Data Variation with Ambient Temperature

Using the trendlines in Figure 3.3, the submetered data was separated into temperature dependant energy (heating/cooling) and temperature independent (baseload) energy for a typical year. A total of 9% of the campus energy use can be attributed to temperature-dependent heating or cooling, and 91% of the campus load on the main meter is continuous baseload.

Comparing the total cooling energy use from the trends of 365,129 kWh/year to the nominal

operating chiller power of 400 kW (500-tons × 0.8 kW/ton) indicates that the cooling system at the college has a load representing 912 equivalent full load hours1 (EFLH). These EFLH are consistent with an office/educational building located in a mild cooling climate, where the expected range of EFLH is 800-1000 hours/year. Finally, three sets of 15-minute interval submeter data were available from meters place on the service for three main distribution panels (MDP-1, MDP-3, MDP-4) (Figure 3.4).

Figure 3.5. 15-minute Submeter Data From MDP Mains

All three meters indicated a constant baseload of energy consumption, and then increased consumption during occupied hours. MDP-1 is the largest of the three service panels, with a baseload of near 250 kW during unoccupied hours, and a peak load of 550 kW during occupied hours.

• MDP-1 displayed a slight increase in the building baseload energy consumption after December 7, where the baseload increased by approximately 25 kW.

• MDP-3 was the smallest panel, with a baseload of 20 kW and a peaking load of 150 kW. Similar to MDP-1, this panel indicates elevated energy consumption only when the building is occupied.

• MDP-4 had similar behavior to the other two submeters. The minimum baseload on MDP-4 was 50 kW, with a peak load of 250 kW.

Combining the 15-minute submetered data with the daily submetered data from the main meter provides the distribution of energy for the three MDPs during the monitored period of November 12 through December 14, 2009 (Figure 3.6).

The distribution above indicates that MDP-1 comprises the majority of the energy under the main meter (50%), followed by MDP-4 (19%), and then MDP-3 (10%). Subtracting the total MDP submeter energy from the main submeter indicates that 20% of the energy is not metered. The layout of the submeter locations on the one-line diagram implies that is energy is consumed by the chillers, but may actually represent discrepancies in the submetering configuration. Figure 3.7 displays the energy use patterns for the three MDP submeters on a shade plot. On the shade plot, the hour of the day are represented on the y-axis, and the each day represented by a vertical stripe consisting of 96 15-minute segments. The energy consumption in each segment is represented by varying shades of gray. Periods with higher energy consumption are represented by darker shades of gray, and periods of low energy consumption are represented by light gray. Periods with missing data are shown as pure white.

Figure 3.7. Power Use Patterns – Submetered MDPs

All three MDP submeters displayed a strong weekday/weekend variation in energy use, and also show energy use for the college increasing at 6:00 AM and remaining elevated until 10:00 PM. This elevated energy consumption corresponds to the occupied period of the building. MDP-1 and MDP-3 both display energy use patterns that indicate some level of cycling equipment (with intervals of oscillating energy consumption during the unoccupied period). The very regular electricity consumption observed on MDP-4 indicates that a major portion of this panel is interior building lighting that operates from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. The interval metering data was also examined to determine the variation across the day in the form of a daily power profile, as shown in Figures 3.8 through 3.10. The power profile plots display the minimum, maximum and average power for each 15-minute interval throughout the day. The profile also displays one standard deviation around the average in the shaded blue portion of the plots. By comparing the weekend (unoccupied) profile to the weekday (occupied) profile, the energy consumption resulting from building occupancy can be determined.

By subtracting the weekend profiles from the weekday profiles, and extrapolating to a year of operation, the distribution of energy consumed when the building is occupied and unoccupied was developed (Figure 3.11). Again, the sum of the MDP profiles differs from the total main submetered data by approximately 20%.

3.2.3. Natural Gas Utility Billing Data

The campus is served by only one natural gas account. Natural gas delivery is provided by NYSEG under their non-residential small firm gas rate. Natural gas supply is provided by the Empire Natural Gas Corporation. The campus consumes 85,675 therm/year at a combined cost of $74,837. The average cost of natural gas at the campus is $0.87/therm (Table 3.3).

Average Cost of Gas ($/therm) 0.87$ Natural gas consumption increases dramatically in the winter months, when space heating is needed (Figure 3.12). The three-pipe nature of the system implies that any summer time natural gas use is not used for space heating (or re-heat). Summer gas use results from domestic hot water (DHW) production, and other non-heating loads (such as food preparation). Figure 3.13 displays the natural gas variation with ambient temperature. The changeover to heating

occurs at 54°F, and above that temperature natural gas use for domestic water and other non-heating loads is less than 500 therms/month (15 therms/day). During heating operation natural gas consumption reaches as high as 21,000 therms/month, or 970 therms /day. Extrapolating the

trendline out to 0°F indicates that a peak heating conditions, the average heating load for the campus is 3.7 MMBtu/h across the day.

3.3. Historical Energy Use: Summary & Relevance

From Section 2, we observed that stationary combustion and purchased electricity together accounted for approximately 37% of FLCC’s total GHG emissions. The disaggregation of energy use performed in Section 3 indicated that FLCC consumes, on average, 6-7 million kWh of electricity and about 86,000 therms of natural gas annually. While there are seven utility accounts for electricity, the overwhelming majority of electrical consumption (98%) is through one meter. There is only one natural gas account. Analysis of available electrical submetering data indicates a distinct weekday/weekend trend, with a difference of 7,500-10,000 kWh between the two. There is also a larger annual consumption trend that is a function of season and class schedules (winter shows higher consumption in general; December and May – when classes are reduced – show lower consumption). Further analysis of submetered data indicates that over 90% of campus energy use is temperature-independent (i.e., baseload), with the remainder being temperature-dependent. By contrast, natural gas usage is a strong function of ambient temperature, with consumption varying by almost a factor of two between warmer and cooler seasons. These factors suggest that seasonal adjustments to consumption will have a more pronounced effect on natural gas consumption than on electrical consumption. However, reductions in baseload energy consumption will be required in order to see a meaningful change in overall energy usage and thereby on total GHG emissions.

4. Mitigation Strategies

4.1. Background

In Section 2, it was concluded that FLCC would have to reduce GHG emissions by approximately 200 to 250 MTCO2E per year in order to meet potential interim and long-term emission reduction goals. In Section 3, we noted that a reduction in baseload energy consumption would be a key driver in reduced GHG emissions.

4.2. Emission Reduction Strategies

The following is a list of emission reduction strategies that FLCC will consider towards their GHG emissions reduction goals. These are followed by specific recommendations in text boxes. Scope 1 Emissions

• College Fleet Vehicles: Consider purchasing hybrid vehicles; create institutional policies requiring energy-efficient vehicles; recommend fuel efficient rental cars; increase number of electric utility vehicles to decrease on-campus truck/van use

• Campus Safety Vehicles: More bicycle patrol and electric utility vehicles for on-campus patrol

• Grounds Equipment: Investigate feasibility of running equipment on biodiesel; diesel retrofits; electric utility vehicles; continually upgrade equipment with energy-efficient models when old is replaced; consider purchasing a new, more efficient diesel dump truck; create no-mow/low-mow areas; create vegetable garden on campus to use in cafeteria; plant additional trees where possible; take existing woodlot into account in GHG inventory

• Boilers, Chillers, Emergency Generators: Use energy-efficient models when due for replacement

• Refrigeration Units: Standardize replacement strategy to include emissions/efficiency as criteria with new purchases (use existing energy star purchasing policy); try to reduce the number of small fridge units; create incentives to get rid of fridges; inventory small fridges; consider establishing employee lounges on each floor with fridge, microwave, etc. (with the understanding that personal kitchen equip be eliminated from campus)

• Air Conditioning Units: Need institutional backing for thermostat settings to avoid complaints; need nighttime/occupancy setbacks as follows - Step 1: get 6 programmable thermostats for heat pumps ($45/per unit); Step 2: hook 6 heat pump thermostats to building control system ($500/per hook-up); equip each classroom with a thermostat; occupancy sensors and CO2 sensors in each classroom; retro-commission the building; add window coverings and/or treatment to help stabilize temperatures.

• Domestic Hot Water (gas): Replace existing tank with solar pre-heating units on roof and on-demand natural gas heaters in various zones of the building – reduce heat loss by: reducing distance traveled, only heating as needed, capturing heat from sun, etc.; measure/monitor existing hot water use; use of 3 independent units (1 for locker rooms, 1 for library, 1 for main bathrooms)



30

Scope 2 Emissions

• Lighting: Put LED lights in all exit signs; change gym lighting to T5s; install daylight sensors in hallways; install occupancy sensors for all rooms including hallways and stairwells; replace all incandescent bulbs with CFL or LED; convert all T12 fixtures to T8; replace gym metal halide fixtures with high bay T5 fluorescent fixtures

• Plug Loads: Purchase Energy Star-certified computers, monitors, and other IT equipment; implement and ensure continued operation of computer and monitor power management features;

• Information Technology: Program PCs into power save modes or utilize the new occupancy sensor controlled surge bars; use smart strips for electronics; replace desktops with laptops where practical; consider moving away from personal printers to networked printers; expand the online library; look for web-based software to reduce server demand; move toward wireless access; investigate green computing efforts at other institutions; offer more information to encourage behavior change; create uniform plug load plan; create a checklist of considerations when dealing with technology (environmental impact, supportability, energy efficiency- heat/electricity; lifecycle cost; longevity; support cost - human/capital; impact of equip location); move to thin clients & cloud computing; create more virtual meetings & trainings; find more efficient light bulbs for projectors; unplug or remove TVs in classrooms (computers can act as substitutes); determine the feasibility of reducing the number of copiers in office areas; IT at campus centers should be at the same standard as main campus.

• Peak Load: Need demand load management; Monitor demand and shed loads to minimize peak demand; connect equipment that's not currently tied into the main control system

• Air Handling Units: Need to continue installation of variable speed drives (VSDs) on air conditioning units; access to software to show room occupancy – allow for better control; consider installing CO2 sensors in rooms; ensure installation of VSDs during renovation of building with VAV system

• Heating and Cooling: Create a cooling “setback” point, similar to the current heating setback, and program both for automatic operation; standardize/institutionalize temperature set points, ie: heating to 68, cooling to 76; calibrate or replace all temperature sensing devices; enable fan coil unit day/night controls where available, install where possible

• Equipment Replacement: Institutional policy to require ALL replacements to be NEMA premium efficiency; update purchasing procedures to include specs for energy efficiency

• Building Envelope Tightening: Seal around windows; put window treatments on those without; install more insulation where possible; install vestibules at entrances to minimize infiltration of outside temps; thermal image whole building during peak heating season to identify losses; purchase of monitoring equipment for in-house use; consider replacing roofs with more energy efficient technology

• Plug Loads: Reduced number of “space heaters”, mini-fridges, coffee makers; buy several "Kill-A-Watt" units to show people how much energy their office equip. uses; provide more information to encourage behavior change

• Copiers: Encourage scanning over copying

• Policy: Institutional policy requiring premium efficiency on all replacements of equip. over 1 hp (NEMA standard); need policies of how to deal with technology CHANGE and how to consider the green components (big picture thinking); institutional policy to turn off computers when not in use – enforcement will be key

Scope 3 Emissions



31

• Recycling: Investigate feasibility of creating a recycling center that can accept clothing, furniture, household items, etc. from students; create annual electronics recycling drive open to students and community

• Sharecycle: Expand existing program to include the student community

• Paper Use: Create a Green Office Certification Program; consider charging for printer use (esp. in the library); encourage faculty to post hand-outs on Angel instead of paper copies; continue offering "paperless classroom" training - at opening days?; make sure adjuncts are involved in the trainings; need electronic signatures to be acceptable on forms; continue converting forms to electronic format

• Water Use: Use of motion-activated and time-release faucets where feasible

• IT Purchasing: Consider purchasing remanufactured toner cartridges; consider purchasing laptops instead of bulky desktops

• Teleconferencing/Videoconferencing: Need to make it more user-friendly; make available at all college campus sites; ensure faculty teaching with these technologies are trained in the proper pedagogy for using it

• Commuting: When renting a vehicle, encourage people to use vehicles that get more than 30 mpg; encourage carpooling through incentives such as premium parking spots; consider partnering with bus companies to get students a discounted/free pass; create a “guaranteed ride home” two times a semester; examine working from home strategies; examine the option of 4-day open campus with 3 days shut down; make sure most classes are offered at campus centers to reduce frequency of student commuting to main campus

• Business Air Travel: Evaluate the cost benefit of driving vs. flying (time, carbon footprint, cost); encourage train, bus rides

• Cafeteria: Use china and silverware; use compostable trash bags; investigate feasibility of composting cafeteria scraps (cost, time, labor, resources, land, etc.); investigate production of biodiesel for college equipment use

4.3. Behavior Change

In addition to opportunities related to campus infrastructure, FLCC will consider potential behavioral changes that could mitigate campus GHG emissions in the following areas:

• Energy Conservation

• Water Conservation

• Waste Production

• Recycling/Food Services

• Transportation/Parking The following is a list of recommendations that can be made to FLCC students, faculty, and staff to encourage individual behavior change. These recommendations have been divided into “high” and “medium” potential as a qualitative indication of their net GHG impact. Actions with high potential:

• Edit, spell and grammar check on screen to reduce printing (Waste Production)

• Take only what you can eat in the dining hall or cafeteria and reduce your food waste (Recycling / Food Services)



32

• Recycle all recyclable materials (Recycling / Food Services)

• Refrain from using push-button automated door-opening mechanisms if not needed (Energy Conservation)

• Choose reusable or refillable products instead of disposables; buy durable goods (Waste Production)

• Opt for travel mugs and reusable water bottles (Recycling / Food Services)

• Whenever possible, combine activities, meetings and errands into one trip; use conference calls or schedule meetings back to back (Transportation / Parking)

• Accept a broader range of indoor temperatures (Energy Conservation)

• When possible, take the stairs instead of the elevator (Energy Conservation)

• Use low-flow showerheads and faucets (Water Conservation)

• Wash your clothes in warm or cold water; run at a full load (Water Conservation)

• File information electronically (Waste Production)

• Send documents and invitations electronically (Waste Production)

• Buy recycled or recycled-content products, both pre- and post-consumer (Recycling / Food Services)

• Consider options like telecommuting or distance learning (Transportation / Parking)

• Dine in, walk to a restaurant, or pack a lunch to avoid unnecessary driving during the day (Transportation / Parking)

• Report all toilet and faucet leaks right away (Water Conservation)

• Remove yourself from junk mail and catalog lists (Waste Production)

• Turn off lights when you leave a room for more than five minutes; use only as much light as you need (Energy Conservation)

• Turn the water off while shaving or brushing teeth (Water Conservation)

• When it's time to buy a new car, choose one that offers good gas mileage and/or choose a hybrid / alternative fuel vehicle (Transportation / Parking)

Other high-potential conservation opportunities include: powering down computers during periods of non-use or setting them to “sleep” mode; taking the stairs instead of the elevator; and refraining from using push-button automated door-opening mechanisms if not needed. Actions with medium potential

• Purchase, minimally, 30% recycled paper (Waste Production)

• For your old electronics, donate used equipment to schools or other organizations to ensure reuse and recycling (Recycling / Food Services)

• Keep your car well-tuned (Transportation / Parking)

• Power down computers during periods of non-use, or set them to “sleep” mode, instead of using screen-savers (Energy Conservation)

• Purchase energy efficient electronics and appliances, including Energy Star products and energy-efficient fluorescent light bulbs (Energy Conservation)

• Turn off your electronics devices (e.g., television, cell phones and other equipment) when you are not using them (Energy Conservation)

• Reuse paper, cardboard, containers, plastics, electronics, furniture, and compost (Waste Production)

• Publish and share documents on line (Waste Production)



33

• Use reusable bags / containers for shopping (Recycling / Food Services)

• Avoid individual bottled beverages, use pitchers of tap water instead (Water Conservation)

• Repair all toilet and faucet leaks right away (Water Conservation)

• Reuse envelopes, folders and the blank side of a printed sheet of paper (Waste Production)

• Have campus landscaped with low-water-using plants (Water Conservation)

• Buy organic, sustainably-grown foods (Recycling / Food Services)

• Design documents/ shrink images to minimize paper consumption (Waste Production)

• Buy locally grown, seasonal food and products when available (Recycling / Food Services)

• Use rechargeable batteries (Waste Production)

• Use a power strip that can be turned off when you're done using your electronics (Energy Conservation)

• Use sustainable, “green” products (Recycling / Food Services)

• Choose to repair items rather than discarding them (Waste Production) Other items to consider and/or implement include: overcoming the difficulty in purchasing eco-friendly goods or services that are typically more expensive; increasing recycling programs; offering more administrative and academics-related documents in an online format; and discontinuing outsourcing to non-local suppliers.

4.4. RECs and Offsets

Beyond implementing internal emission reduction projects, FLCC may need to purchase Renewable Energy Credits/Certificates (RECs) for green power and/or offsets to mitigate a portion of its emissions. Offsets include carbon credits from voluntary and regulatory markets, and carbon allowances under regulatory markets. Purchasing RECs and/or offsets would allow FLCC to mitigate emissions without having to implement infrastructure or behavioral changes. However, purchasing RECs/offsets provides no return on investment. In addition, RECs/offsets are projected to become more costly under expected future regulatory programs. For these reasons, in most instances, RECs and offsets will be a lower priority than implementing emission reduction projects. Despite this, FLCC recognizes that offsets can and do play a vital role in providing a means to achieve immediate emissions reductions in a cost-effective manner. The College also recognizes that offsets also provide an opportunity for additional research and development in addressing climate change. As such, FLCC has determined that there are instances when it furthers the dual mission of achieving climate and educational gains to participate in offset projects, especially those which will have a local impact.

4.4.1. Renewable Energy Credits or Certificates (RECs) RECs, also known as Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs), Tradeable Renewable Certificates (TRCs), Green Tags, or Green Certificates, represent electricity produced from a qualifying renewable energy technology of a qualifying vintage (Note: The “vintage” of a REC is the date that the electricity generation associated with the REC was measured by the system operator or utility meter at the generator site; Green-e.org, 2010). A REC is a generic term for a financial instrument reflecting the attributes of renewable energy independently of the actual electricity. The certificate can be presented in either physical (i.e., paper) or more commonly, electronic format. The standard unit used internationally to measure RECs is a megawatt-hour (MWh). For tracking and recording



34

purposes, each REC has an identifying number linking it back to the actual electric generating device from which it was produced. Although in most instances the renewable energy is additional to what would have been generated otherwise in absence of the REC, this is not necessarily always the case. Moreover, since the renewable generation may be meeting increased demand, it also does not necessarily represent a reduction in any existing carbon emissions. For example, a wind farm may produce more electricity in an area – adding to the total amount of electricity generated – but without displacing any of the existing carbon-based electricity generation, or reducing net emissions. In the absence of a limit to the total amount of electricity produced or a way to track actual generation displacement, it is unclear as to whether the renewable energy produced would result in any actual reduction in emissions. For these reasons, RECs are not the same as carbon offsets and the two terms should not be used interchangeably. Like offsets, RECs are energy-related tradable commodities, and often purchased by companies to represent — and claim the use of — renewable electricity. Unlike offsets, REC markets do not have the same additionality requirements of offsets. However, renewable energy projects can provide environmental advantages including reduced land and water impacts and improved air quality. The purchase of RECs can also encourage the development of additional renewable energy projects. RECs can play an important role in FLCC’s path to carbon neutrality, as a way to reduce the climate impact of Scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions from purchased electricity), which contribute almost 4/5ths of FLCC’s GHG emissions (see Chapter 2). The procurement of RECs to pair with electricity purchases is a common way to secure and document the use of renewable energy. As long as RECs are sold only once, sufficient tracking mechanisms are in place, and calculated grid-average emissions figures appropriately account for them, RECs can provide a valid way of obtaining zero-emissions electricity in calculating GHG inventories. To both ensure high-quality and support continued improvement, FLCC will procure only those RECs certified by a reputable organization. Renewable Energy Offerings of FLCC’s Local Electric Distribution Company

FLCC purchases its electricity from Rochester Gas & Electric (RG&E), a division of Iberdrola USA based in Rochester, NY. Through its “Wind Energy” program, RG&E allows institutional and commercial customers to acquire power of 200-600 kWh/month from wind turbines through the purchase of credits. These credits enable RG&E to purchase wind-generated electricity produced at a wind farm in New York State or the mid-Atlantic region, and have it delivered to the New York State Independent System Operator (NYISO) grid. Purchases can be made in 100 kWh blocks, and each purchase results in a transfer of the environmental attributes of the wind energy to the customer. RG&E will send a signed certificate on an annual basis in the electric account holder’s name. The “kWh certified” shows the amount of wind energy delivered to the NYISO during the previous year and the amount of Wind Energy credits purchased. (RG&E, 2010).

Renewable Energy Credits or

Certificates (RECs)

A REC is a unique and exclusive proof that one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity has been generated from a renewable

resource.



35

In addition to RG&E, Community Energy (CEI) has RECs available for sale in an amount to cover the Scope 2 emissions associated with purchase of electricity. The RECs would be from Green-e certified wind that is sourced from anywhere in the U.S. A 3-year contract entered into effective February 2010 would be priced as follows:

$1.43 per MWh in the 1st year $1.67 per MWh in the 2nd year $2.11 per MWh in the 3rd year

Direct Procurement of Renewable Energy

FLCC could enter into a long-term renewable power purchase agreement as an alternative to buying RECs. Renewable energy development goes much deeper than protecting the environment. The development and operation of the wind project creates temporary construction jobs and long-term management jobs, again providing an economic co-benefit. Renewable Energy Requirements in New York State

In 2004, the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) voted to adopt a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) to increase the proportion of renewable electricity used by New York consumers from the 2004 baseline of 19.3% to at least 25% by 2013. In establishing the RPS, the PSC noted that the primary benefits expected from implementing the RPS Program include:

1. Diversifying the generation resource mix to improve energy security and independence; 2. Attracting the economic benefits from renewable resource generators, manufacturers, and

installers to New York State; and 3. Improving New York's environment by reducing air emissions and other adverse

environmental impacts of electricity generation. In December 2009, the PSC revised the RPS goal upwards to 30 percent by 2015. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is responsible for the acquisition of an annual target of 10.4 MWh in 2015 (NYSERDA, 2010).

4.4.2. Carbon Offsets

A carbon offset is a reduction or removal of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) GHG emissions that is used to compensate for or offset emissions from other activities. Offset projects are those that reduce GHG emissions outside of an entity’s boundary and generate credits that can be purchased by that entity to meet its own targets for reducing its GHG emissions. Use of offsets is possible because climate change is a non-localized problem; greenhouse gases spread evenly throughout the atmosphere, so reducing them anywhere contributes to overall climate protection. Generally, offsets fall into two categories: 1) emissions reductions or avoidance, such as replacing a diesel generator with solar panels, and 2)

36

sequestration, or removing GHGs from the atmosphere, such as planting trees that will absorb CO2 as they grow. There are many different types of projects that generate offsets in both categories. Offsets are a potentially effective mechanism for complementing internal reduction activities, but cannot replace them. While internal efforts to directly reduce their GHG emissions focused on planning, funding, and initiating avoidance, reduction, and replacement programs are a higher priority and should be evaluated first, the ACUPCC permits investments in offsets to be made as soon as the internal activities are initiated. A common objection to offsetting is that it does not actually reduce an institution’s baseline emissions; offsets do little to drive the internal business process innovations and systems-level changes needed. Moreover, some critics say, offsets may lead to complacency or “absolve climate guilt,” in turn forestalling the necessary commitments to new behaviors, policies and business practices. Additionally, purchasing offsets provide no return on investment and are projected to become more costly under future regulatory programs. Finally, since achieving carbon neutrality is not a one-time accomplishment, offsets must be purchased for each period to which they are intended to be applied. FLCC may invest in offsets, develop its own offset projects, invest directly in the offset projects of others or purchase credits generated from offset projects. Offsets provide an effective way of achieving interim targets and climate neutrality, measuring the cost/value of carbon reduction activities, and creating a financial incentive for reducing internal emissions. When done correctly, investment in high quality carbon offsets is scientifically valid and results in the absolute reduction of GHG emissions to the atmosphere. To ensure offset quality, the ACUPCC has adopted a common Voluntary Carbon Offset Protocol (“the Protocol”) to guide institutions in the evaluation and investments of offsets. The protocol establishes clear guidelines for higher education institutes to invest in the purchase of offsets. An accompanying document, “Investing in Carbon Offsets: Guidelines for ACUPCC Institutions” (“the Guidelines”), was issued in November 2008. The Protocol provides guidance to institutions evaluating investments in offsets to help determine whether or not to invest, when to do so, and what to look for in an offset to ensure they are credible, high-quality and effective – that is, they are real, measurable and permanent. The Protocol and Guidelines also encourage institutions to view offsets as a short-term tool to address the gap to a climate neutral future. Required Attributes of Carbon Offsets The ACUPCC Protocol and Guidelines articulate key principles of high-quality offsets as follows:

1. Real: Offsets are sourced from tangible physical projects with evidence that they have or will imminently occur.

2. Additionality: The principle that only those projects that would not have happened anyway should be recognized as carbon credits, i.e., reductions are “surplus” offsets that would not have occurred under “business as usual” and should not cause leakage or additional emissions elsewhere.

3. Transparent: All project details are provided, including, among others, type, duration, standards, measurements, location and price, are all known and made clear to the offset purchaser and other stakeholders.



37

4. Measurable: Reductions are objectively quantifiable by peer-reviewed methodologies within acceptable standard margins of error.

5. Permanent: Reduction streams are unlikely to be reversed, with safeguards to ensure that reversals will be timely replaced or compensated.

6. Verifiable: Performance of a particular emissions reduction project is monitored by an independent third-party with appropriate local and sector expertise to assess the expected or actual emissions reductions.

7. Synchronous: Offset flows are matched to emission flow time periods with rigorous and conservative accounting that designates boundaries and baseline calculations.

8. Leakage: A net change in anthropogenic emissions by sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) which occurs outside the project boundary, and which is measurable and attributable to the project activity.

9. Registered: A third party recording of ownership of an offset that enables clarity in identifying the chain of custody of credits.

10. Double Counting: Double counting occurs when a carbon emissions reduction is counter toward multiple offsetting goals or targets, whether voluntary or regulated. It may occur whenever carbon reductions are achieved in one point on a supply chain and multiple points on the chain try to take ownership of the reductions.

11. Retired: The removal of an allowance or offset from the market, after which it cannot be resold or used to permit emitting, thereby reducing overall emitting.

From FLCC’s perspective, it is also important that the agreement to fund or procure carbon credits is enforceable, i.e., backed by legal instruments that define offsets’ creation, provide for transparency and ensure exclusive ownership. Additional Considerations for Offset Attributes: Geography and Co-Benefits

The ACUPCC Protocol does not proscribe a preference as to the location of offset projects; however, it does point to the relative merits of different geographical projects locations in relation to some of the principles outlined in the Protocol, including: educational value, transparency, co-benefits, and the service mission of higher education. For FLCC, the geographic location of a project will provide advantages in meeting these aspects of the Protocol. Having direct contact and the ability to meet often and develop personal relationships with project participants will increase FLCC’s ability to ensure that such projects provide climate gains while ensuring sustainable results. FLCC will consider engaging in projects that are in proximity to its domestic campus and also projects that are in international locations where we have study abroad programs. Carbon Markets

The carbon markets are growing rapidly. Over the past several years, the voluntary carbon markets have not only become an opportunity for citizen consumer action, but also an alternative source of carbon finance and an incubator for carbon market innovation. In 2008 the market was responsible for offsetting 123.4 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. The voluntary carbon markets were

resulting in a total market value of US$705 million



38

estimated to be valued at US$705 million in 2008, more than twice their value in 2007 ($335 million). While the OTC market traded a smaller share of the transaction volume than the CCX, most of this value increase was driven by OTC credits, as they traded at a price premium of 66% in 2008 over CCX credits. Generally speaking, the price of a carbon offset follows the principles of free market economics – supply and demand. If demand for a certain project type or a project input is high, the price of that project will go up and vice versa. In 2008, the price for a carbon offset ranged from $2.00 per metric ton CO2e (tCO2e) to $33.00 per metric ton CO2e (EM 2009). These variations are dependent on the type of project, the third party standard used and the offset provider (retailer, broker, aggregator, developer). The average price of a voluntary carbon credit transacted on the OTC market was $7.34/tCO2e in 2008, up 22% from $6.10/tCO2e in 2007 and up 79% from $4.10/tCO2e in 2006. This compares to an average price of $4.43/tCO2e on the CCX. Claims about carbon offset co-benefits, project type, and project location have no direct connection to the quality of a metric ton CO2 reduced (the benefit of a ton of CO2 reduced is the same whether it happens with a renewable energy project in the region or a reforestation project in Lebanon), but additional benefits, such as habitat preservation, sustainable development, etc., can increase the price of an offset because these additional benefits increase the quality of the surrounding environment and are generally more marketable. Assessing Carbon Offset Project Types

Carbon offset project types generally fall into three categories: 1) renewable energy, 2) energy efficiency projects, and 3) land use/land change projects like reforestation and avoided deforestation. Landfill gas destruction and agricultural methane destruction are also common projects available on the market today. FLCC may choose to meet its carbon offset needs by authorizing a Request for a Proposal (RFP) that is distributed to a selected list of offset providers. The RFP would include FLCC’s requirements for its offset portfolio such as criteria for project type, location, or specific co-benefits The RFP process may provide FLCC with better leverage in negotiations. However, FLCC may also choose to bypass the RFP process by simply contacting a provider to acquire a specific quote for carbon offsets. Assessing Carbon Offset Providers

There are five main types of offset sellers: 1) project developers 2) retailers/wholesalers, 3) brokers, 4) aggregators, and 5) utility companies. Each type offers different value-added services, from providing messaging plans and outreach services, to facilitating faster, larger scale transactions. Several organizations provide services typical of each type of provider. FLCC’s offset provider choice should be based on the credibility of the organization, their ability to meet your standards and requirements, and their ability to provide the best service for your needs. After deciding the volume of emissions that will be offset, FLCC will determine the level of services that will be needed from its provider, be it small or large scale purchasing, a diversified portfolio or outreach and communication consulting. When evaluating a provider inquire about third party standards, their method for offset retirement, and their organizational auditing procedures. FLCC will consult various resources to determine and assess its offset providers including:

Quantification and monitoring are key to ensuring the effectiveness of the FLCC behavior change program.



41

• For quantification, one approach is to use a survey: isolate a specific behavior change measure (e.g., from among those listed under “high potential” and “medium potential” in Section 4.3); identify the degree to which this measure has been implemented by FLCC faculty, students, and staff; and identify the willingness of those who have not yet implemented this measure, to do so in the immediate future. Application of these percentages to estimates of energy usage and GHG emissions per unit of usage will provide an estimate of total energy saved and GHG emissions reduced.

• For monitoring, the best way to verify effectiveness of a behavior change program will be analysis of metering data before and after implementation of the program, in the form of energy intensity per FTE and per GSF; the degree of intensity reduction being correlated with the degree of effectiveness of the program.

• It is possible that external factors could add to the value of FLCC’s behavior change program. As an example, the California Public Utilities Commission recently ruled that utilities in the state could add gains from behavior change programs to their energy-efficiency goals. If properly implemented, this creates an incentive for the utility to encourage its customers to reduce their energy usage. While still in its early stages, the success of programs resulting from this ruling may lead to widespread adoption in other states including New York.

5. Education, Research, and Awareness/Communication

5.1. Background The ACUPCC asks signatories to commit to taking “actions to make climate neutrality and sustainability a part of the curriculum and other educational experience for all students.” ACUPCC guidance recognizes that each school will make its own determination of how to fulfill this part of the Commitment. Furthermore, participating institutions will (1) find their own creative and unique means of doing so; (2) develop a means of reviewing progress and expanding their reach over time; and (3) share their efforts with other signatories so that all of the institutions will be able to meet the ultimate goal to have graduates that can help all of society restore the earth’s climate to a safe level and achieve sustainability over several generations. (ACUPCC, 2009). This section of the CAP describes FLCC’s current educational offerings (curricular and co-curricular) related to climate change and sustainability. It also describes planned actions to make climate action and sustainability a part of the curriculum and other educational experience for all students. Finally, this section explains how the implementation of the ACUPCC will be integrated into FLCC’s educational efforts (e.g., having students or classes update the GHG inventory), as well as how the entire campus community, including alumni, will be made aware of FLCC’s participation in, and progress toward, implementing the ACUPCC.

5.2. Educational Offerings: Curricular

FLCC worked with its faculty, staff, and students to identify how its sustainability curriculum can support the CAP effort. Specifically, the College considered the following areas, based on ACUPCC guidance:

• Relevant course offerings

• Relevant course requirements

• Pedagogical methods

• Specific actions

5.2.1. Relevant Course Offerings The following topics regarding coursework mandatory for the completion of a degree program and elective at FLCC were reviewed as part of the educational component of the CAP. FLCC’s efforts to address these topics are provided below each item in italics font.

5.2.2. Relevant Course Requirements

The following describes the extent to which the strategies below are made available (and how they could be made available if not presently done so) to academic programs to educate FLCC students about sustainability. FLCC’s efforts to address these strategies are provided below each item in italics font.

a. Freshmen orientation Orientation materials are provided to incoming students on flash drives to reduce paper

use. FLCC will conduct sustainability training for Orientation Assistants (OAs), for them

to pass on to incoming students.

b. Requiring students to take courses introducing these concepts FLCC is investigating the possibility of adding sustainability to its list of student learning

outcomes. The College will also look into curriculum mapping to ensure that a student

encounters at least one course with sustainability as a learning outcome prior to his/her

graduation.

c. Providing elective courses on these concepts to all students FLCC currently offers several elective courses with sustainability concepts built into

them, e.g., Environmental Science, Sustainable Earth, Literature of the Environment. The

College will also identify missing components of sustainability in degree programs and

see where additional elective courses would be appropriate.

d. Integrating these concepts into additional existing courses FLCC will examine the feasibility of integrating sustainability into additional existing

courses.

e. Offering existing courses to more students The College dual-lists sustainability-related courses (i.e., Environmental Science is a

Conservation and Biology course; Sustainable Earth is a Conservation and Philosophy

course). The College will offer additional sections of sustainability-related courses as the

need arises.

f. Creating new multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary courses An emphasis on interdisciplinary learning/courses is currently occurring in FLCC’s

Honors Program (e.g., through Honors Seminars such as Duel or Duet? Science and

Religion in Modern Life; In the Midst of Water: Our Origins and Destiny; Dualities

across Disciplines).



56

g. New programs, institutes, and colleges FLCC will provide opportunities for students to learn about sustainability at campus

centers; it will also investigate the possibility of offering a sustainability certificate.

FLCC could also design new programs around green technology or other sustainable

green initiatives.

h. Integration across the curriculum FLCC will use the Center for Teaching and Learning as a mechanism to provide

workshops for faculty development to integrate sustainability in the curriculum.

5.2.3. Pedagogical Methods The following describes the type and extent of pedagogical methods that are used or anticipated to be used at FLCC to facilitate systems thinking and the interdisciplinary concepts of climate change and sustainability. FLCC’s efforts to address these topics are provided below each item in italics font.

a. Inquiry-based and experiential learning – in which students learn through the process of discovering knowledge themselves and/or through direct experience Through internships, practicums, and service learning projects, FLCC students gain

direct real-world experience and the learning that comes with it. The College will seek to

build relationships with local sustainable businesses (e.g., New Energy Works, Eagle

Mountain, and local organic farms) for more student internships.

In addition, the Honors Studies program has its own pedagogy: in its aim to contribute to

each student’s intellectual, emotional, moral, and social growth, this program offers a

variety of transformative learning opportunities aimed at preparing students to engage

effectively in a complex and rapidly changing world. Through small, seminar classes and

‘active learning’ pedagogy, the Honors classroom experience strives to engage students

in cross-disciplinary, holistic inquiry that promotes critical and creative thinking, skillful

communication, and civic responsibility.

b. Case-based learning – in which students learn through discussions of real-world examples and the associated collaboration and debate FLCC will consider having its students attend local government meetings to learn about

pertinent sustainability issues (e.g., conservation easements on farmland, wind turbine

policy, landfill issues); where applicable ,students could collaborate with the Buildings &

Grounds crew to undertake case-based learning (e.g., students could calculate lifecycle

costing for equipment, make recommendations for paper savings, etc.). Students could

also attend conferences relevant to sustainability to gain additional knowledge and

experience outside of the college environment.

5.2.4. Specific Actions The following describes actions that FLCC has undertaken or is planning to undertake to further the promotion of sustainability among its students. FLCC’s efforts to address these topics are provided below each item in italics font.



57

a. Establish a sustainability graduation requirement FLCC is not going to pursue a sustainability graduation requirement at this time.

b. Include students and faculty on design committees for new buildings (or research projects intended to look at alternatives to new construction) The Sustainability Committee and other interested faculty and staff recently participated

in a green charrette for the Student Services Center. Additionally, horticulture faculty

and students are actively involved in campus landscaping.

c. Invite students and faculty to join and fully participate in campus sustainability committees as well as CAP committees and sub-committees FLCC fosters participation of the campus community in its sustainability initiatives in the

following ways: (i) At least two representatives from each constituency group (students,

administrators, faculty, professional staff, and support staff) participate in the

Sustainability Committee; (ii) one person from each department serves as a

“Sustainability Liaison” to disseminate information to their department.

For development of this Climate Action Plan, three committees were established

(Curriculum, Operations, Student Life) that together represented all constituency groups.

d. Participate in national climate change awareness raising and action initiatives like “Focus the Nation” and the “National Teach-In on Global Warming” In 2009, FLCC participated in the National Teach-In on Global Warming and the

International Day of Climate Action. For the past three years, the College has

participated in the National Campus Sustainability Day. FLCC is also a regular

participant in Earth Day activities.

e. Encourage and empower student environmental activism and clubs This is ongoing at FLCC through the Conservation Club and through F.L.E.A. (Finger

Lakes Environmental Action).

f. Organize an annual campus climate summit The College has no plans for a campus climate summit at this time.

g. Invite nationally renowned expert speakers on climate change and sustainability to your campus The well-known ecologist and author Anne LaBastille has presented at FLCC on at least

two occasions. In 2007, the College hosted Walter Simpson (Energy Officer, SUNY

Buffalo; Member of the Energy Managers’ Hall of Fame). In 2010, Chad Pregracke

(founder of Living Lands and Waters; recipient of the Jefferson Award for Public

Service) will be presenting at the Go Green Gala.

h. Create Student Life residential environmental education initiatives such as “Eco-Reps,” on-campus sustainable living opportunities, etc. Student Life will have their Orientation Assistants trained in sustainability to facilitate

discussions on this topic with incoming students. Training sessions have been conducted

with Resident Assistants at the College Suites (on-campus student housing). FLCC will

examine the feasibility of a student-run composting system in the suites.



58

5.3. Educational Offerings: Co-Curricular

FLCC recognizes that awareness and action on sustainability and climate change cannot be confined to the classroom alone. The College has identified the following areas in which the CAP effort can be integrated with activities that serve to enhance the student experience:

• Athletics

• Student Life

• Student Housing

5.3.1. Athletics

5.3.2. Student Life The following describes the current extent of, and future plans for, the following activities as they relate to Student Life at FLCC:

a. Positions within student government focused on sustainability (e.g., environmental affairs commissioner) The FLCC Student Senate has a “Sustainability Senator” position.

b. Organization of presentations and seminars in which students, academics, and

practitioners discuss their work on energy and environmental issues In TECH 244 (Residential Design), students create a house design with at least 2 energy

efficient or environmentally friendly components; they present these projects to peers,

selected FLCC faculty and staff, and area practitioners. Additionally, during Campus

Sustainability Days 2009, we participated in conference calls with Rep. Eric Massa (29th

Congressional District, NY) and Hunter Lovins (sustainability leader). See also section

4.2.4 (g) for additional speakers and events on sustainability.

c. Interaction between students with diverse backgrounds and interests through

collaboration with energy and environmental clubs in other community colleges, SUNY member institutions, and other public and private universities in the upstate New York area



60

FLCC students participated alongside students from the Rochester Institute of

Technology (RIT) on two recent occasions: (i) a 350.org/International Day of Climate

Action bike rally; and (ii) a conference call with Rep. Eric Massa (see 4.3.2.b).

d. Discussion of articles of technical, economic, and/or social importance relating to

sustainability, climate change, energy or the environment on a regular basis, possibly with a local expert (faculty or practitioner) as moderator FLCC recently hosted two events for the public: a debate on a proposed gasification

project at a local landfill, and a “Go Green Tour” in which members of the public were

taken on a tour of local sustainable businesses and residences. The College also hosted a

panel discussion of faculty and staff on various aspects of sustainability for an audience

comprising Ecology and Introduction to Sociology students.

e. Organization of student-driven recycling competitions, with a view towards setting

percentage goals for diversion of waste from landfills – including batteries and ink cartridges In April 2009, FLCC conducted a Garbage Assessment to create a baseline of waste

generated. The Child Care Center and the group Phi Theta Kappa collect used ink

cartridges as part of their fundraising activities. The College has also sponsored on-

campus electronics recycling drives for the past two years.

f. Organization of tree planting events

Tree planting events have been organized by Phi Theta Kappa, the Finger Lakes

Environmental Action (FLEA) Club, and the Horticulture Program. Every year FLCC

gives away hundreds of trees at Rochester’s Lilac Festival, and various student groups

give away trees during campus events.

g. Organization of lightbulb exchanges (replacement of incandescent bulbs with CFL or

LED bulbs at no or subsidized cost) The FLEA club has given away CFL lightbulbs on several occasions.

5.3.3. Student Housing The following describes the current extent of, and future plans for, the following activities as they relate to Student Housing at FLCC:

a. Employment of undergraduate students to be environmental representatives in dorms and houses, educating their peers on environmental issues while serving as advocates for pragmatic efforts such as light bulb exchanges, double-sided printing, and reducing food waste Resident Assistants at the College Suites (student housing) have taken part in a

sustainability information session. FLCC is also interested in exploring the feasibility of

an “Eco Rep” program (subject to funding), and of expanding the collection of goods –

including used clothing, batteries, ink cartridges, etc. – to student housing.

b. Setting up of a model tour room furnished with environmentally-friendly products

including organic bedding, biodegradable detergents, and Energy Star-certified equipment – together with purchasing information



61

FLCC does not have an ownership stake in the College Suites; this is therefore not being

considered at this time.

c. Purchase of locally-grown products for dining services; use of reusable or recyclable

utensils; activities for the minimization of food waste FLCC’s Dining Services has purchased locally-grown, seasonal food for various campus

events (e.g., Campus Sustainability Days, the Go Green Student of the Year Awards, the

Go Green Tour). They also use many herbs grown in the campus greenhouse; bowls,

plates, and cups used are compostable. FLCC is interested in exploring the creation of a

clearly labeled sorting area in the cafeteria (waste, recyclables, compostables), and in

the establishment of an institutional composting system.

d. Minimization/elimination of onsite bottled water; replacement with inline water

purification system for tap water FLCC is interested in providing educational information to cafeteria customers about the

negative aspects of bottled water.

e. Use of laundry facilities during off-peak hours (mornings or evenings after 7 PM)

The campus does not own extensive laundry facilities.

5.4. Additional Environmental Priorities

Additional steps and actions that FLCC currently undertakes, or is considering undertaking, are as follows:

• An expansion of the current policy of posting sustainability tips – currently posted on bathroom doors, these ideas could be expanded upon and tied into campus life;

• Integration of sustainability activities beyond the main campus – to the Geneva, Victor, and Wayne County sites;

• Making the walk from the “G” lot more user-friendly

• Placing all recycling bins next to trash cans – this would create “waste stations” that would reduce the deterrence to recycling

• Use of environmentally-friendly college vehicles (more fuel-efficient, smaller size) In addition to the specific actions listed above, FLCC also seeks to go further along the path towards a more sustainable campus that provides an enriching environment for students. Ultimately, the College desires that every student come away with an understanding of:

• social, environmental, spiritual, occupational, emotional, intellectual, physical wellness

• hands-on learning/experiences

• experiences that are intentional and challenging – in a supportive environment

• an appreciation of the WHY through active engagement and purposeful discussions

• service learning

• global awareness - social justice/ diversity/ cultural awareness; sustainability

• recognition of interconnectedness

5.5. Communication and Engagement

FLCC shall continue to develop and implement a multi-pronged communication plan to inform, engage, and interact with its internal and external stakeholders. FLCC believes that any effective sustainability plan must have two dimensions: content and distribution. These are summarized in the table below and subsequently explained further.

Content (↓)/ Distribution (→) Bulletin Live

Live

In-Person

Concepts of sustainability and justification X X X

Context and relevance to FLCC X X X

Guiding principles and framework X X X

Specific actions and responsible parties X X X

Costs and benefits X X X

Progress towards results X X X

The content listed in the table covers various modules that are part of FLCC’s comprehensive approach towards sustainability and its communication.

• Concepts of sustainability and justification provides a background and scientific context for taking action on sustainability in general.

• Context and relevance to FLCC lays out the implications of sustainability for FLCC and how it fits into actions taken by various bodies, e.g., New York State.

• Guiding principles and framework provides a top- and mid-level view of the type of actions that will need to be taken.

• Specific actions and responsible parties dives into the details of actions and the FLCC faculty, staff, and students responsible for their execution.

• Costs and benefits discusses the tradeoffs that inevitably arise when a major program is put in place, in as quantitative a manner as possible.

• Progress towards results will be the focus of multiple, periodic communications to outline the extent to which FLCC has achieved its objectives.

The distribution channels listed in the table refer to the methods by which FLCC will communicate the above content to its audience:

• Bulletin comprises information disseminated in the form of content on FLCC websites, links to external websites, standardized text messages, flyers, documents, spreadsheets, and slideshows that will be available to a broad audience. Bulletins will provide stakeholders to provide a background and contextual understanding for “live” events (see below).

• Live Remote comprises information that will be disseminated remotely by key FLCC representatives in the form of webinars, phone conferences, radio broadcasts, and the like. The information session will typically be followed by an interactive question-and-answer session. Live remote events are expected to attract a large audience, and will typically be presented by senior FLCC faculty and staff

• Live In-Person comprises seminars, information sessions, and “town-hall” style meetings that will have varying degrees of “formality” and can be held by faculty, staff, or student representatives within their respective forums. In general, the audience for a live in-person event will be smaller in size than that for a live remote event, although more interactive due to the face-to-face nature of the former. It is also possible that certain large-scale events may (e.g., program milestones, final reports) may fall under a combination of the “live remote”



63

and “live in-person” categories. This category also includes outreach conducted by FLCC faculty, staff, and students that has a clear sustainability component.

6. Results Tracking and Financing

Successful implementation of a climate action plan involves flexibility and long-term support from FLCC's leadership and stakeholders. Above all, it involves measuring and reporting progress toward a specific target, in addition to consideration of the opportunities and constraints for financing climate actions.

6.1. GHG Tracking

A biennial update of the campus emissions inventory is required by the ACUPCC. FLCC will publicly update the inventory biennially, but internally track GHG emissions annually. This will allow FLCC to determine progress being made with regards to planned emissions reductions and adjust strategies as appropriate. Section 4 presented potential emissions reduction projects through 2030. The projects comprised both infrastructure change and behavior change. A key strategy for assuring progress with regards to planned emissions reductions will be to assign sponsors for each emissions reduction project proposed. As discussed in Section 1, FLCC has established subcommittees within the Sustainability Committee that have supported the development of this Action Plan. Following the public launch of this Plan, these subcommittees will become sponsors for the emission reduction projects recommended in the Plan.

• Infrastructure change recommendations will be sponsored by the Buildings and Ground department and the Operations subcommittee. This combined Infrastructure subcommittee will be led by FLCC’s director of Buildings and Grounds.

• Culture change recommendations will be sponsored by the Curriculum and Student Life subcommittees. This combined Culture Change subcommittee will be led by FLCC’s Sustainability Coordinator.

The composition of the newly combined subcommittees is presented below.

Infrastructure Subcommittee

Director of Buildings and Grounds, Chair Buildings and Grounds Department PCC: Operations Subcommittee

Culture Change Subcommittee

Sustainability Coordinator, Chair PCC: Curriculum Subcommittee PCC: Student Life Subcommittee

Each proposed emissions reduction project will be sponsored by at least one subcommittee. The sponsor’s role will be to guide the funding, implementation, and measurement/verification of the



65

project. In addition, FLCC will develop mechanisms by which donors may contribute resources to this effort.

6.2. Financing

Smart financial planning prioritizes cost-effective emissions mitigation measures, schedules them to maximize synergies and savings allowing some measures to pay for others, identifies obvious and unusual funding sources, and uses creative financing techniques to make serious climate action affordable. Projects, measures, and programs that reduce GHG emissions can be paid for by a variety of funding mechanisms including:

• Self-financing performance contracts • Revolving funds that are replenished by savings generated by conservation measures as well

as perhaps annual budget allocations • Grants from government, foundations or business partners • Energy efficiency and renewable energy incentives provided by government or utilities • Borrowed money from tax-exempt bonds or other types of borrowing • Financial instruments specifically designed to promote renewable energy development • Alumni donations and other fundraising • Student activity fees and graduating class gifts.

Affordability is a key factor that weighs heavily on whether a CAP actually gets implemented. This means minimizing costs while seeking all available dollars. FLCC will finance the plan through traditional mechanisms such as capital project requests, campus and departmental budgets, and external grants as available, as well as through other non-traditional means. Specific measures and programs to finance CAP actions are summarized below. FLCC’s primary mechanisms for financing projects is the Capital Improvement Plan. These funds

can be further leveraged through incentives for energy efficiency offered by the New York State

Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Additional potential funding strategies are described below.

6.2.1. Energy Savings Performance Contracts

An Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) is a partnership between a College or other organization, and an energy service company (ESCO). The ESCO may conduct a comprehensive energy audit for the campus and identify improvements to save energy. In consultation with the College, the ESCO designs and constructs a project or projects to meet College needs and arranges the necessary financing. The ESCO guarantees that the improvements will generate energy cost savings sufficient to pay for the project over the term of the contract. After the contract ends, all additional cost savings accrue to the College. Under this type of agreement, an ESCO will furnish the up-front capital for an energy efficiency improvement to FLCC in return for payments over the lifetime of the agreement. These payments are generated from the energy cost savings generated by the project. The ESCO guarantees the energy



66

savings. A utility energy service contract is similar to an energy savings performance contract, but the utility company (instead of an ESCO) delivers the energy services and pays for upgrades in exchange for payments from the institution. Payments are made from the energy cost savings generated by the project.

6.2.2. Revolving Fund Revolving loan funds can be a very effective financing mechanism for campus sustainability project, and numerous types of revolving loans have been developed at peer institutions. A revolving loan fund is both a source of financing and a strategy for managing climate neutrality funds that can become a generator of new funding. FLCC will dedicate specific funds (e.g., investment of new utilities savings) to achieving climate neutrality through infrastructure changes; a revolving fund will help maximize the impact of the initial investment while expanding available resources. With a revolving loan fund, an initial pool of capital is used to fund a number of projects with a predictable return. The savings from these projects recapitalize the loan fund, preferably with some fixed premium to allow the fund to grow. Because it is managed internally, revolving fund managers can loan money with low interest rates over longer payback periods than a traditional bank loan. This expands the pool of projects eligible for funding. Some revolving loan types allow savings from projects (once the loan and fixed premium/interest have been repaid) to remain in the budget of the unit that implemented the project. Other models return savings to the general budget. One possibility would be for the revolving loan fund to be administered by FLCC Facilities & Grounds and capitalized initially (to an agreed upon level) by money from savings generated by ongoing and future energy conservation projects. A fixed, negotiated interest rate would allow the fund to grow, with additional savings returning to a central FLCC budget. This hybrid model, also proposed at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, would allow FLCC Facilities & Grounds to fund new GHG mitigation actions while contributing some savings to a central FLCC budget. A revolving loan fund is an excellent funding method, but it is not without limitations. Projects must generate a return fairly quickly if the fund is to finance many projects and have a significant impact on campus emissions. Bundling projects to include a mix of short and long or uncertain payback projects will allow managers to tailor the mix of projects to meet the revolving fund’s required payback timeframe. High-visibility and/or pilot projects may be bundled with reliable performers to achieve a high level of economic performance for the complete package. Bundling should be used to ensure that a broad mix of projects receives support. Finally, while a revolving fund may be created with the goal of achieving climate neutrality, fund managers may choose to fund projects that do not directly contribute to climate change mitigation, yet do result in a reduction in FLCC’s utility costs. Fund managers must carefully consider whether such projects should be funded from a revolving fund or through traditional financing mechanisms.

6.2.3. Green Fee Program FLCC will evaluate the feasibility of establishing a student-driven campus green fund as a mechanism for funding portions of the CAP. As currently planned, this fund would include monies generated by student fees, approximately $10 per student per semester, which would support specific climate action



67

and sustainability strategies involving behavior change. Based on full-time equivalent student enrollment of approximately 1,500 students in the baseline year FY 2000, a green fee program may generate annual funds on the order of $30,000.

Lighting Assessment

To understand the impact of lighting on energy use at Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC), O’Brien & Gere performed a lighting assessment. Methodology

This lighting assessment is based on data obtained from FLCC and an on-site room by room evaluation performed. This room by room evaluation was performed to document the quantity and type of lighting fixtures throughout the campus. For the purpose of this assessment the sample of fixtures and rooms evaluated are considered to represent an 80-percent sample approximately 259,984 Ft2 of the total main campus building of approximately 325,000 Ft2. Areas not included in this sample are the results of limited or no access to the areas due to on-going classes and no access due to security. In addition this assessment bypassed the Library due to FLCC’s ongoing upgrade and retrofit of Library lighting. To quantify energy use for these fixtures run time hours are estimated at 3,000 hours annually, which equates to 12 hours per day, 5 days per week, 50 weeks per year. Interior Lighting

The interior lighting at FLCC consists of a combination of T-12, T-8, and T-5 fluorescent, compact fluorescent, incandescent and metal halide fixtures. The college has move forward with a staged replacement of existing T-12 fluorescent fixtures with T-8 and T-5 fluorescent fixtures and the addition of occupancy sensors in the offices and classrooms. Existing Lighting

Tables A-1 through A-5 identify the existing lighting and energy use attributed to existing lighting.

Retrofit High Efficiency T-8 and T-5 Lighting Fixtures

Tables A-6 through A-10 identify the reduction in energy of a proposed retrofit of existing T-12 and T-8 fluorescent lighting with high efficiency T-8 and T-5 lighting fixtures. This retrofit would be a direct bulb for bulb replacement with no consideration for de-lamping. This retrofit would result in higher level of illumination of the areas retrofit.

The lighting assessment performed identified potential annual energy cost savings of $33,682.64 for the efficiency gains from the replacement of existing T-12 and T-8 with high efficiency T-8 & T-5 fixtures. This energy savings was tabulated based on the replacement / retrofit of 2,519 total fixtures. At an estimate of $200 for the retrofit kit, the lighting retrofit / replacement project would have a project cost for equipment alone of $503,000 resulting in a simple payback of 15 years. Interior Lighting Control Measures

The interior lighting at FLCC consists of a combination of T-12, T-8, and T-5 fluorescent, compact fluorescent, incandescent and metal halide fixtures. The college has move forward with the installation of occupancy sensors as part of the staged replacement of existing T-12 fluorescent fixtures with T-8 and T-5 fluorescent fixtures. Based on the data collected during the site assessment, areas consisting of corridors, mechanical rooms, kitchen and dining, storage, and select classrooms and offices have at this point not undergone the staged replacement and do not have sensors to automatically turn off lighting during periods of no occupancy. Energy savings through lighting control measures will be realized in, not only direct electrical savings from reduce runtime hours, but in reduced cooling load on the HVAC system. Lighting control measures most commonly implemented are occupancy sensors and light level sensors. Occupancy sensors detect when a space is occupied by using passive infrared, ultrasonic, or a combination of the two technologies. Once the heat or movement of the occupant is no longer detected, and after a preset delay time, the sensor will emit a signal to extinguish the lights. Occupancy sensors used alone are good for low or intermittent use areas such as storage rooms, restrooms, and even corridors.

Light level sensors have a photoelectric "eye" that measures the illumination in a room. Threshold on and off values can be set to respond to specific lighting conditions. These sensors can operate on/off switching of various luminaires or lamps within luminaires and they can also operate a continuous dimming system. Continuous dimming system will obviously cost more than switching systems but they have greater user satisfaction because the change in lighting levels is not as noticeable.

For the purpose of this analysis occupancy sensors are evaluated and examples of areas that would benefit from day lighting controls are presented. To further assess the savings potential from the implementation of occupancy sensors areas identified as having no lighting control are

Occupancy sensors range in price from $50 to $250 depending on type and application, with additional cost for installation. For the purpose of this analysis a median cost of $150 is used, it is assumed that FLCC would supply labor to install and that one sensor is sufficient for each room area presented. Installing 150 sensors to control 956 fixtures would have a cost of $22,500. Energy savings potential of $8,204.33 will result in a simple payback of 2.7 years. Day Lighting Controls

During the field assessment efficiency opportunities were identified to implement day lighting controls in multiple areas of the campus. Classrooms and corridors with exterior exposure received an abundance of natural light and implementation of day lighting controls would realize energy reduction and cost benefit. Figure A-4 illustrates such an opportunity on the third floor B

wing where skylights allow an abundance of natural light while the 24-inch fluorescent fixtures remain on.

Figure A- 1 Opportunity for Day Lighting Controls

Exterior Lighting

Exterior lighting at FLCC consists of a combination of parking lot lights; roof mounted building lights, pedestrian access lighting and security lighting. The energy assessment identifies energy use from exterior lighting on meter MDP-1 on the order of 15kW-20kW. Figure A-1 a shade plot of meter MDP-1 from November 13, 2009 to December 14, 2009 illustrates the energy use attributed to exterior lighting as a shaded band where the exterior lights turn on at 5:00 PM and turn off at 8:00 AM. Conversation with facility operations indicate that exterior lights are computer controlled and are adjusted based on seasonal daylight variance. It is estimated that energy use attributed to exterior light is in a range between 76,650 kWh / year and 102,200 kWh / year. @ 15 kW x 14 hrs/day = 76,650 kWh/year @ 20 kW x 14 hrs/day = 102,200 kWh/year Retrofit of Exterior Parking Lot Lighting with LED Exterior Parking Lot Lighting

This assessment is presented as a high level assessment of the benefits of the retrofit of existing exterior parking lot metal halide fixtures with exterior parking lot light emitting

diode (LED) fixtures. For the purpose of this analysis existing parking lot fixtures are assumed to be a nominal 320 watts and draw approximately 346 watts. The comparison of the photopic and energy performance of the existing metal halide (MH) fixtures to LED fixtures is presented in Table A- 15.

LED (High Power) 1.9 0.6 0.33 3.2 : 1 149

LED (Low Power) 0.9 0.3 0.32 2.9 : 1 52

Based on the information provided in Table A- 15 the power consumption of LED fixtures operating at high power can result in a 56.9% reduction in energy consumption. The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) recommends maintained illuminance values for parking lots of 0.2 footcandles (FC) for typical in use conditions and 0.5 FC for enhanced security. However IESNA also states that “during periods of non-use, the illuminance of certain parking facilities may be turned off or reduced to conserve energy.” To further reduce the energy consumption of parking lot lights, a bi-level lighting system utilizing motion sensors to detect periods of no motion may be desirable. This system would implement a predetermined time delay feature to reduce the light output from high power to low power further reducing the energy consumption from parking lot lights. To calculate the savings potential of the retrofit the energy consumption for exterior lighting, the estimated energy use, in a range between 76,650 kWh / year and 102,200 kWh / year, is multiplied by 56.9%, resulting in energy reduction in a range between 43,614 kWh/year and 58,152 kWh/year. This reduction would result in an annual savings of between $4,099.71 and $5,466.28. Additional savings would be realized if a bi-level system is implemented.

APPENDIX B. PLUG LOAD ASSESSMENT

Page 1 of 16 May 15, 2010

Appendix B

Plug Load Assessment To understand the impact of Plug Loads on energy use at Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC), O’Brien & Gere performed a Plug Load assessment. Methodology

This Plug Load assessment is based on data obtained from FLCC and an on-site room by room evaluation performed. This room by room evaluation was performed to provide a sample and document the approximate quantity and type of plug loads throughout the campus. Plug loads identified in this assessment are separated into three major categories consisting of office and personal equipment, information technology equipment and other. The other category consists of specialty equipment or areas with equipment and systems that are unique to the particular area. Quantification of energy use in these areas is difficult without sub-metering and considered outside of the scope of this evaluation. For these areas this assessment identifies the specialty equipment and systems, but does not quantify energy use. Tables B-1 through B-5 list and quantify the sample of plug loads identified in the assessment and Figure B-1 quantifies energy use for the over 900 plug loads quantified during this assessment.

Energy Consumption from Identified Plug Loads

To assess the impact that the identified plug loads and IT equipment have on campus energy use the data from the field sample and the IT equipment inventory are entered into the plug load model shown in Table B- 6. Based on this assessment the total energy consumption attributed to the nine hundred forty nine loads (see Figure B-1) listed on the model total 451,290 kWh annual approximately 6.9% of the total campus load. At $0.094/kWh this equates to $42,421 A closer look at the plug load energy consumption in the model indicates that the single largest consumer is consumers, monitors and IT equipment totaling $37,691 of the $42,421 annual cost (approximately 89% of plug load energy cost). Opportunities for computer and IT equipment efficiencies are discussed in the IT Equipment section of this report.

Plug Load Efficiency Measures

Behavioral

Behavioral change to remove refrigerators, coffee makes, microwaves, space heaters, window air conditioning units and water cooler will have an impact on energy consumption at FLCC. Table B- 7 identifies a potential 50,221 kWh annually to the FLCC energy bill is attributed to these plug loads. A campus wide behavioral change to remove these loads from the campus would result in an annual cost savings of $4,721 with no capital investment, resulting in an immediate payback and a potential cumulative savings of 502,210 kWh and $47,210 over 10 years.

IT Equipment

During the data collection phase of this assessment it was identified through the campus inventory that there were a total of 558 desktop systems and servers, 34 laptops, 187 printers and nine scanners in the main academic building at FLCC. In addition, the machine room in building B-392 contained 3 Apple Xserve, 1 IBM P5, IBM x235, 2 IBM 306, 4 IBM x335, 1 IBM x336, 5 IBM x345, 13 IBM x346, 5 IBM x3550, 20 IBM x3650, 3 IBM x 3650 with external disks, 3 EMC AX4 SAN, 1 ECM Clarion SAN and 1 left hand PS 4500 SAN. For the purpose of this analysis we have focused energy consumption from the 558 desktop systems and 34 laptops computer equipment from the main academic building. Looking at these computer systems, multiple factors affect energy consumption. First and foremost is the energy consumption and energy star certification of these systems. Figure B-2 illustrates industrial accepted values for computer and monitory energy use.

Table B- 8 Energy Star Computer and Monitor Energy Consumption Data

A second factor would be the hours of operation for the computers at the campus. Based on internet usage at the campus observed during the site assessment, primary hours of operation are between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM or 15 hours per day.


Page 11 of 16 May 15, 2010

Table B- 9 Internet Usage at FLCC

A third factor for consideration is the implementation and continued operation of computer and monitor power management features. Table B- 10 illustrates the power management features available to most computer systems. EPA recommendations for computer settings stated in Table B- 10 are to enter stand-by or hibernate mode after 15-60 minutes and monitors to enter sleep mode after 5-20 minutes of inactivity.

Table B- 10 Energy Star Power Management Options


Page 12 of 16 May 15, 2010

Table B- 11 Energy Star Potential Energy Savings

The energy savings potential from the implementation and continued operation of computer and monitor power management features and the replacement of computers and monitors with Energy Star compliant systems is presented in Table B- 11. This measure represents a savings $68,517 over 3 years with an annual savings of 262,666 kWh and $22,839. It is estimated that the implementation of this measure will cost $410,300 resulting in a simple payback of 18 years.

Other Plug Loads

This section will focus on “other plug loads” that were observed during the site assessment, that consists of specialty equipment or areas with equipment and systems that are unique to the particular area and the ability to quantify energy use without sub-metering, which is outside the scope of this study, is difficult. For these areas this assessment identifies the specialty equipment and systems, but does not quantify energy use for this equipment. It is recommended to turn off this equipment (as applicable) during off hours and that FLCC move forward with initiatives to purchase energy star rated equipment as existing equipment reaches the end of useful life and to provide single circuit control for areas such as the exercise room where individual control invites an opportunity to leave equipment on during off hours. Cafeteria / Kitchen

Of these areas the cafeteria is an area that based on hours of preparation, operation and equipment would consume a significant amount of energy. This area consists of rooms C-207, C-210, and C-212. These areas have equipment consisting of:

• 1 – 3 door beverage refrigerator



• 1 – Pretzel heater

• 1 – Fountain soda machine

• 1 – Ice cream freezer

Appendix C4. Retrocomissioning: Overview of Phases

Typically, the RCx process is made up of the following phases.

• Investigation Phase

1. Perform overall site assessment. 2. Obtain or develop and review missing documentation. 3. Develop a “Master Deficiencies List”. 4. Identify maintenance activities. 5. Coordinate testing of existing equipment. This will require the assistance of a Testing and

Balancing contractor and a controls contractor. The controls contractor would be the

representative that has supplied and installed the controls for the facility. 6. Recommend upgrades and improvements as part of the RCx effort.

The Investigative Phase is a field effort that includes baseline testing on the existing equipment being commissioned.

• Planning Phase 1. Develop RCx objectives. 2. Develop RCx plan. 3. Develop RCx schedule. 4. Assemble and review facility documentation and historical utility data. 5. Develop a maintenance plan for all equipment being commissioned. 6. Develop RCx cost estimate. 7. Develop pre-functional checklists (PFC’s). 8. Develop functional performance tests (FPT’s). 9. Develop start-up plans. 10. Develop a contractor scope. 11. Assist the Owner in selecting a contractor to perform the necessary repairs and upgrades

Based on the information provided in Error! Reference source not found. the power consumption of LED fixtures operating at high power can result in a 56.9% reduction in energy consumption. The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) recommends maintained illuminance values for parking lots of 0.2 footcandles (FC) for typical in use conditions and 0.5 FC for enhanced security. However IESNA also states that “during periods of non-use, the illuminance of certain parking facilities may be turned off or reduced to conserve energy.” To further reduce the energy consumption of parking lot lights, a bi-level lighting system utilizing motion sensors to detect periods of no motion may be desirable. This system would implement a predetermined time delay feature to reduce the light output from high power to low power further reducing the energy consumption from parking lot lights. To calculate the savings potential of the retrofit the energy consumption for exterior lighting, the estimated energy use, in a range between 76,650 kWh / year and 102,200 kWh / year, is multiplied by 56.9%, resulting in energy reduction in a range between 43,614 kWh/year and 58,152 kWh/year. This reduction would result in an annual savings of between $4,099.71 and $5,466.28. Additional savings would be realized if a bi-level system is implemented.

Appendix C15: Components of a Waste Minimization Plan

Phase I-gather baseline data through:

1. annual garbage assessment

2. annual quantity of paper purchased

3. annual estimation of GHG emissions from solid waste

Phase II-develop a 5-yr plan to:

1. reduce waste

a. increase recycling efforts

b. do cost/benefit analysis of composting

c. reduce packaging materials and use of disposables

2. improve waste management process

a. have someone who is clearly in charge of waste management

b. make sure every trash can has a recycling bin next to it

c. get more hallway trash cans

d. require haulers to weigh each pick-up and report it on a monthly basis

e. set targets for reductions each year (i.e. - a certain percent per person on campus)

f. establish policies that discourage waste (i.e. - only change garbage bags when soiled)

3. develop campus-wide educational programs

a. participate in RecycleMania

b. train incoming students on what can/can't be recycled (orientation programs, classes, etc.)

c. get students involved in annual garbage assessment

d. at campus events, have trash/recycling stations with student workers to help sort/educate

e. have competitions among students, clubs, or other groups

g. have clearly labeled signs and posters throughout the school

4. monitor progress

a. continue to track data for the 3 points listed in Phase I

b. advertise these targets and give periodic updates to the school so they can modify behaviors

5. adapt to feedback

a. depending on progress, targets may have to be adjusted

b. determine what efforts are successful and why

c. eliminate programs that aren't successful

f. have peer-to-peer trainings (Orientation Assistants, Resident Assistants, student members of the Sustainability

Committee, Sustainability Liaisons for academic departments)

d. look for new opportunities for improvement (reducing barriers, more effective educational efforts, etc.)

Approach

The Google Earth software program was used to carry out a visual inspection of the FLCC campus, whose approximate

boundaries are circumscribed by the thick green outline and a lighter blue outline in the center-left of the chart. Darker

portions of the chart within campus limits were identified as forested areas. Since the majority of these forested areas were

in the top left of the chart, ancillary areas were identified, "cut" from their locations, and "pasted" in a non-overlapping

manner in the top left. (This is the reason for the presence of white patches in the chart). A rectangle covering the net

forested area was subsequently drawn; based on the scale in the bottom left of the chart, we estimate the size of this

rectangle to be 2500 ft x 2600 ft, or about 149 acres, as listed in cell C4 above.
