Title A name given to the resource Energy Efficiency Potential Subject The topic of the resource Efficiency Description An account of the resource Though many capital projects have integrated energy efficiency in a more wholistic manner, there are a myriad of stand-alone energy efficiency projects with attractive financial and environmental benefits worth considering. These energy efficiency updates have the ability to enhance institutional solvency and help Vassar strive well beyond previously set GHG reduction goals. Efficiency projects also have the ability to attract a generation of students who are increasingly concerned with such issues as sustainability, energy use and climate change. This analysis looks to shed light on some of the budding ideas already being discussed on campus, as well as to show some opportunities not yet examined. If energy efficiency was strategically engaged campus-wide over the next 5-10 years, it is forseeable Vassar could both reduce GHG emissions and its utility budget substantially and be at the forefront of climate change mitigation.

Title A name given to the resource Campus Energy Sub Metering and Sustainability Project Financing and Approval Analysis Subject The topic of the resource Energy Sub Metering Description An account of the resource Vassar has spent over $100,000 and seven years trying to sub meter the College’s energy use, but has not been able to complete the project. As a result of subcontractor error, redundant systems, and expired IP addresses the College energy building management system (BMS) has been unable to function as spec’d. Day Automation, Vassar’s HVAC contractor, provided pro bono consulting to assist the College in understanding the current state of affairs of the hardware and software. Day Automation also retired Vassar’s redundant BMS, and rerouted all existing energy sub meters into its own system, Continuum. In the end 72% of the identified issues were immediately fixed by Day Automation’s IT department. The remaining 28% of issues can be resolved by Day Automation and an electrical contractor in a short timeframe.

Title A name given to the resource Multi-criteria Analysis for Vassar’s 2020-2025 Climate Action Plan Subject The topic of the resource Climate Action Plan Development Description An account of the resource The Vassar community is not solely interested in the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction potential of the climate action steps, but also other impacts such as added benefits which provided benefits beyond those that arise from a more stable climate. Multi-criteria analysis (MCA) provides one systematic method for decision makers to evaluate a wide range of climate action steps against a set of criteria (Ellen et al. 2016). With limited time and resources, it is critical to prioritize climate action or adaptation options based on factors such as impact, resilience, fiscal viability, and more. An MCA was conducted to holistically evaluate the actions steps proposed in the 2020-2025 Climate Action Plan. The MCA tool is available in a spreadsheet format, titled “Multi-Criteria Analysis -Vassar 2020 CAP”. This report describes the methodology used to develop the MCA, the results, and recommendations.
