North Carolina State University Climate Action Plan Kick-Off Meeting December 14, 2009

Project Organization

Project Approach • CAP Wedges • Green Development (campus growth, new buildings) • Energy Conservation (existing buildings) • Fuel Mix and Renewable Energy • Transportation (commuting, business travel, fleet) • Offsets (off-campus carbon reduction) • Base Case • Define “business as usual” assumptions across all wedges • Estimate “do-nothing” cost associated with GHG emissions

Project Approach

Project Approach Phase 1 Phase 2

Project Approach • Phase 1 • Review existing data and growth projections • Engage Progress Energy • Develop the Base Case • Engage CEST Working Groups • Develop “long lists” of ideas and portfolio paths • Develop screening criteria • Summarize long list themes and provide basic screening-level information for further review in Phase 2

Project Approach Phase 1 Phase 2

Project Approach • Phase 2 • NCSU will engage campus community for feedback • • • on long list themes AEI team will further develop the long list themes for additional evaluation and screening Develop the short list Short list modeling Final selection of CAP alternatives Finalize modeling and output Support NCSU in developing the CAP document
