Since signing the Illinois Climate Action Plan in 2010, the campus has embraced a fuel optimization strategy: where feasible, they have elected to utilize lower CO2 purchased electricity from MISO and to back off on their use of on-site existing coal and gas cogeneration facilities. This strategy, combined with the other measures described here, has led to a significant decrease in their CO2 emissions, and they have been able to go three summers in a row without burning any coal.
Multi-disciplinary teams work through high energy-use buildings to re-commission the buildings, with an emphasis on HVAC systems and Controls and temperature setbacks (often referred to as “scheduling”). Each year, buildings are selected from the top 100 energy consumption buildings. The RCx teams completed 40 buildings, with an average of 26.5% energy reduction since beginning the program in FY08. In total, RCx efforts reduced energy costs by over $14M.
At Aclymate, we care that companies who say they want to make an impact on the climate, do it. That’s why we built the best climate action platform for small businesses. We make it simple to precisely measure a business’ carbon footprint, and then provide the largest collection of verified, high-quality offset projects to shop from. This page is kept up to date with whether Paul Gregory Media is still carbon neutral, and will not show the Climate Leader badge if their carbon footprint exceeds their offsets.
Our Climate Leader certification is designed specifically for small businesses who’ve taken steps to fix their footprint. We have verified that these businesses have fully reduced or offset their footprint to date.
Aclymate’s platform gives you all the tools that you need to calculate, understand, offset and become proud of your company’s carbon footprint.
