8. Greenhouse Gas Inventory Climate Commitment ACUPCC Spring 2007: Signature of Commitment By November 15, 2007: Create Institutional Structure to Guide Plan Development and Implementation By November 15, 2008: Complete GHG Inventory Update Biannually By November 15, 2009: Plan for Climate Neutrality

9. Greenhouse Gas Inventory Climate Commitment ACUPCC Early Action Make climate and sustainability part of curriculum and student experience Expand research on climate neutrality Develop mechanisms to track progress Start 2 or more of :  LEED Silver for new buildings  Energy Star appliances  Carbon Credits for Air Travel  Encourage Public Transportation  15% of Electricity Renewable Sources  Sustainable & Climate-friendly Investing by UM-Foundation

10. Greenhouse Gas Inventory Climate Commitment ACUPCC Early Action Reporting Year 1: GHG Inventory Year 2: Climate Action Plan Year 3 and Alternating Years: o GHG Inventory and o Climate Action Plan Progress Report

11. Greenhouse Gas Inventory Approach  Establish GHG Inventory Taskforce  Set Scope  Define Boundary  Use Clean Air Cool Planet Carbon Calculator (standardized, comparison)  Learn from Other Universities  Gather and Enter Data  Analysis, development of recommendations and report  Report posted online  Briefings to key leaders and stakeholders  Establish GHG Inventory Taskforce  Set Scope  Define Boundary  Use Clean Air Cool Planet Carbon Calculator (standardized, comparison)  Learn from Other Universities  Gather and Enter Data  Analysis, development of recommendations and report  Report posted online  Briefings to key leaders and stakeholders

12. Greenhouse Gas Inventory Scope

13. Greenhouse Gas Inventory Boundary  Definition I: Exclude Space Not in Maryland  Definition II: Exclude Space that we neither own nor pay for electricity o Buildings/operations where UMD is tenant o Graduate Hills & Gardens o ‘Graham Cracker’ Sorority houses o South Commons o Ground leases o UMUC o USM Shady Grove 275 buildings representing 12.7 million square feet of building space: College Park buildings, Maryland Fire & Rescue Institute facilities, Maryland Agriculture Experiment Station state-wide

22. FY 2004

23. Greenhouse Gas Inventory Projections

24. Greenhouse Gas Inventory Recommendations for Future GHG Inventories Future GHG inventories should…  Include a comprehensive commuter survey and model of commuting’s contribution;  Report monthly data for electricity consumption;  Capture emissions associated with purchased materials and supplies (e.g. paper, electronics, etc.);  Estimate Carbon offsets from UM forested lands.
