Conference Recordings

Higher education campuses must act with urgency to address climate change by moving beyond carbon neutrality goals and embracing direct decarbonization via electrification. This keynote panel features national decarbonization experts and campus leaders who will address financial, technical, engagement, and other essential planning elements to facilitate campus decarbonization at every scale, from single building to campuswide electrification. Join us to discover how the campus electrification planning process can progress from setting a vision to achieving buy-in, performing a life-cycle cost analysis, and then laying a pathway analysis to identify the right options for your campus.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Take inspiration and become more knowledgeable about why electrification is necessary if campuses are serious about climate action.
2. Explain how campus electrification can be a cost-effective solution for decarbonizing your campus.
3. Detail strategies and outline steps towards electrification in campus planning.
4. Discuss why carbon neutrality goals no longer represent a leadership position on campus climate action.
