Chair: Ludmilla Pavlova
Mission
The master plan sub-committee will advise on the development of a chapter on sustainability in the Campus Master Plan, and will evaluate the plan’s ability to support the goals of the campus Climate Action Plan, particularly:
• Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Energy (buildings, utilities, renewable energy sources)
• Green Infrastructure
• Transportation
• Support a broad conversation on how community sustainability planning methods apply to campus physical planning
• Meet monthly
Challenge
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Executive Order 484 “Leading by Example-Clean Energy and Efficient Buildings” mandates that by 2020 all state agencies must reduce greenhouse gas emissions that result from operations by 40% (with a baseline of FY2002), reduce building energy consumption by 35% (with a baseline of FY2004), and must procure 30% electricity from renewable energy (green power procurement, RECs or on-site renewables).
