Title: Can the UMASS Dartmouth campus be carbon neutral by 2030?
Speaker: Jamie Jacquert, UMASS Dartmouth
Abstract:
In the fall of 2019, students lobbied the Chancellor to cut the campus greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2030. We established a working group and hired some consultants to assist us in answering this questions. This presentation will cover how that study was conducted, what we learned about our business as usual approach vs a decarbonized approach, and how we would need to phase the transition from using steam to heat and cool the campus to multiple technologies that use electricity.
Jamie Jacquert is the Assistant Directory of Campus Sustainability at UMASS Dartmouth
