SUMMARY:Toward Carbon Neutrality in Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nREGISTER HERE \nUniversity campuses are part of the built environment\, and in their role as educators and exemplars\, college and university campuses are leading the way to a low-carbon future. Despite today’s immediate concerns\, leaders in higher education are keeping their eyes on the horizon\, and long-term net-zero planning and projects are continuing and finding ways to accommodate financial pressures resulting from COVID-19 related enrollment challenges. \nMany campuses are considering the electrification of heating as a decarbonization pathway. Today’s status quo for heating – energy distributed through high-temperature networks – not only is over-designed and costly to maintain but also is basically incompatible with the low-carbon economy. Electrification is a proven route to enable lower-carbon buildings\, led by heat pump strategies. Many have already been implemented throughout the province of Quebec. \nThis dynamic conversation will address the long-term planning and implementation of campus decarbonization\, exploring actionable and cost-effective pathways to progress. \nPanelists: \n\nRuth Bennett\, Director of Strategic Capital Programs at Tufts University\nBert Bland\, Associate Vice President for Energy and Sustainability at Cornell University\nJP Drouin\, Project Development Director\, Ecosystem Energy Services\n\nModerator: \n\nTim Carter\, President of Second Nature\n\nComments: \n\nMs. Catherine Loubier\, Delegate General of Québec in New York\nMarie-Claude Francoeur\, Québec Delegate to New England\n\n  \n*Event not hosted by UCLA
