Navigating the Campus Energy Transition

Mounting pressure to contain costs, reduce carbon emissions, and fortify resilience has put the college campus in a bind. A modern twist on demand management enables universities to tap into new incentives emerging from a changing power grid. This white paper provides a roadmap for universities to leverage their existing energy to take advantage of new utility programs.

In this white paper you will learn:

• Why colleges have an opportunity to reshape their campuses for the future—pushing the limits of sustainability, resilience, and innovation to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
• Best practices for balancing cost, comfort, and carbon on college campuses.
• Why the electrification of transportation and heating has created a renaissance for traditional demand response programs.
• How utilities across the country are gradually adding and evolving their demand management programs to greater incentivize shifting load as the power grid changes.
• How utility demand management programs work and the incentive and revenue generation possibilities for universities.
• A roadmap for maximizing existing assets, minimizing new capital expenditures, and propelling decarbonization efforts.
