1 KSU’s Climate Action Plan Submitted as part of the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) January, 2010 4 March, 2010

2 Climate Change GHGs include CO 2,CH 4, NO x, SO x expressed in terms of metric ton equivalents of CO 2

3 2005 & 2007 are tied the 3 rd greatest CO 2 increase since monitoring began in 1958

4 Carbon neutrality by 2030 (?)

5 What We'll need to do: - some capital-intensive initiatives e.g., LEED certified buildings, alternative energy

6 - & some Behavioral Changes

7 TRANSPORTATION Seek ways to reduce vehicle idling: a campus "No-Idle" Policy; finding off-campus parking sites; shuttle bus route

8 Encourage alternatives to single- occupancy vehicle commutes Incentives for alternate-fuel vehicles Promote Teleworking Promote the use of "Wimba" technology for teleconferencing

9 ENERGY CONSERVATION Continue looking at extending campus shut-downs (establish a Master Calendar to coordinate athletics & arts scheduling) Motion sensors for office, parking deck lights Thermostat settings: 68 0, 78 0

10 Energy audits & retro-commissioning of older buildings (stimulus funds awarded) Phantom Power Load: screen savers use energy and are not necessary Turn off computers, monitors, coffee makers, etc.

11 RECYCLING Watch for comingling of trash & recyclables Promote the use of paper with 30% or 50% recycled fiber Introduce a workable recycling system into residence halls

12 EDUCATION Sustainability Across the Curriculum "Why Recycle" course for staff & faculty

13 KSU GREEN POLICIES Energy Star Purchasing Policy (2008) Proposed No Idle & No Heater Policies Propose a policy of using Recyclables only at KSU-sponsored events

19 Carbon Credits: cost for 2030 = $1,371,030 (@ $15/MTCO 2 )
