Achieving Big Carbon Reduction Goals With Small Targeted Building Actions
-
In order to achieve carbon neutrality, institutions must identify and solve daunting challenges relating to the age, programmatic use, energy generation, and mechanical, electric, and plumbing (MEP) systems of campus buildings. Backlogs of deferred maintenance and multiple demands on facilities budgets hinder campus decarbonization efforts, but leveraging data can help planners prioritize their projects and achieve their goals with targeted actions for the biggest impact. This session will provide insight on useful data types for existing building stock and a process for existing conditions exploration to address carbon neutral goals and deferred maintenance within time and budget constraints.
