How significant a role can campus-based renewable energy play in UVM’s progress towards carbon neutrality? The CEF funded a study to help answer this question and generate scenarios to aid in renewable energy planning at UVM. This study was conducted over the summer of 2012 by CHA (Clough Harbour & Associates), and has the potential to lay the groundwork for future decisions about resource allocation to renewable energy installation projects on campus. The deliverable analysis of this study and renewable energy campus map will serve as foundational knowledge for both the CEF Committee and key campus stakeholders including UVM’s Campus Planning, Physical Plant, Facilities, Design, and Construction and senior administration. Student interns worked with CHA to prepare analyses and feasibility reports, as well as to document the progress of the study.
