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
