Vision 2020 - Creating a Sustainable McGill Ideas

Using the Pulse Energy Dashboard baseline data, set energy targets for all main buildings and track/report progress.

students need to be more aware of how much energy is used to make their new laptop, blackberry etc.

Bad temperature control in buildings affects occupant comfort and wastes energy resources.

creation of new building to go beyond LEED Platinum - by becoming net positive energy producers...

Conduct studies to see if Mac campus would be well suited to run a windmill. Design a multi-departmental project around the idea (if feasible) and use the energy on campus.

Conduct a campus-wide inventory of the energy consumption of vending machines. Make sure that they operate as efficiently as possible and be sure to factor in their relative energy use when considering their use. Seek vending machines which are more efficient in their use of electricity.

Mac campus is unique and offers opportunities for innovation not present downtown--in buildings, energy, food, waste, creating sustainable systems... Take advantage of these!

From LSE Environmental Policy 2011:

Reduce consumption and increase efficiency of energy use in buildings and equipment
