Is it possible to make a significant reduction in the climate impact of a large research campus?
Approach Build on existing climate action resources – AASHE, NWF, APPA Develop a matrix of climate action options Leverage NREL expertise in renewable energy Indentify successful implementation as reference cases Provide tools for resource assessment, carbon impact Define research campus as federal, academic, or private
Climate Neutral Research Campuses
THEMES Each Campus is Unique Hierarchy of actions –
People, Conservation, Renewables, Offsets
A Portfolio of actions will be required
Deep Savings needed
