1 1 A Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality & Solutions for the ACUPCC Webinar October 30, 2008

2 Today’s Speakers Ms. Bridgette Anderson, Associate Dean of Administration, Dutchess Community College Mr. Evan Evans, Senior Vice President of Consulting, Econergy Ms. Margaret McIntire, Higher Education Account Executive, Johnson Controls, Inc.

3 Today’s Agenda Brief overview of each organization Overview of ACUPCC Johnson Controls and Econergy’s solutions for carbon neutrality Dutchess Community College, an early adopter of energy efficiency and committed to carbon neutrality GHG inventory results for Dutchess Community College Q & A

4 About Us

5 Congratulations! F OR JOINING YOUR PEERS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING F OR COMMITTING TO AN AGGRESSIVE GOAL TO ELIMINATE G REENHOUSE G AS (GHG) EMISSIONS AT YOUR U NIVERSITY F OR TAKING AN EARLY LEADERSHIP POSITION IN ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE

6 The ACUPCC Commitment & Timeline WITHIN 2 MONTHS WITHIN 1 YEARWITHIN 2 YEARSONGOING ESTABLISH INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE SELECT 2 OF 7 ACTIONS INITIATE THE 2 SELECTED ACTIONS COMPLETE GHG INVENTORYUPDATE GHG INVENTORY EVERY YEAR DEVELOP CLIMATE ACTION PLAN & SET TARGET DATE TO REACH CARBON NEUTRALITY EXECUTE THE PLAN MAKE PROGRESS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE

7 WHAT’S REALLY NEEDED? Have you developed a campus-wide carbon footprint? Are you satisfied with it? Inventory of current GHG Emissions & forecast into the future An Inventory Management Plan (IMP) and tools that allow for updating, tracking and auditing HOW CAN JOHNSON CONTROLS & ECONERGY HELP? Econergy has developed GHG inventories for ~100 major corporations, institutions, and governments worldwide Econergy selected by US EPA to provide GHG inventory support for prestigious US EPA Climate Leaders program Johnson Controls engaged Econergy to develop its own global GHG inventory A Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality: First Steps Establish GHG Inventory Develop Climate Action Plan Set Target Date for Neutrality Execute a Climate Action Plan Initiate 2 of 7 Actions Provide ongoing GHG updates and tracking

8 A Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality: Creating a Strategy WHAT’S REALLY NEEDED? Capability to identify, analyze and prioritize emission mitigation strategies  Prioritization based on GHG reduction potential, technical feasibility and cost Expertise to translate strategies into an integrated Climate Action Plan comprising a least-cost set of execution steps Our “wedge” approach offers a uniquely prioritized path to carbon neutrality The wedges are customized to your situation We bring 14 years of experience as a pioneer of the carbon management specialty H OW CAN J OHNSON C ONTROLS & E CONERGY HELP ? Establish GHG Inventory Develop Climate Action Plan Set Target Date for Neutrality Develop Climate Action Plan Set Target Date for Neutrality Provide ongoing GHG updates and tracking Execute Climate Action Plan Initiate 2 of 7 Actions

9 A Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality: Putting it Together WHAT’S REALLY NEEDED? Capability to turn a customized strategy into programmatic actions in an integrated way Ability to access funding and other resources to make the plan a reality Specialized experience to select the most cost-efficient and effective 2 actions to implement immediately Ability to develop a comprehensive public relations and communications program aimed at the university community and beyond HOW CAN JOHNSON CONTROLS & ECONERGY HELP? Over 9 million tons of carbon emissions avoided through energy efficiency programs Over $4 Billion of total energy savings guarantees Comprehensive Climate Action Plans designed for dozens of clients On target to generate one billion gross kWh/year of renewable energy across the globe by 2009 Programs and tools designed and tested over time that engage the broader academic community in energy efficiency and carbon management initiatives Establish GHG Inventory Develop Climate Action Plan Set Target Date for Neutrality Execute Climate Action Plan Initiate 2 of 7 Actions Execute Climate Action Plan Initiate 2 of 7 Actions Provide ongoing GHG updates and tracking

10 Includes: Carbon Footprint Inventory Management Plan Preliminary Carbon Mitigation Strategy (Wedge 1.0) Energy Efficiency Opportunity Assessment Recommendation of 2 of 7 ACUPCC early-action steps An Approach to Working Together Includes: Measure and manage energy and GHG data continuously Updating GHG inventory annually Updating Climate Action Plan Providing ongoing performance assurance services on energy efficiency projects Establish GHG Inventory Develop Climate Action Plan Set Target Date for Neutrality Execute Climate Action Plan Initiate 2 of 7 Actions Includes: Detailed Carbon Mitigation Strategy (Wedge 2.0; builds on Wedge 1.0) Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (Based on Wedge 2.0) Target date for climate neutrality Energy Program Project Development Agreement (authorizing detailed engineering, capex requirements, and conditional approval to execute) Carbon Action & Energy Efficiency Program Planning Preliminary Carbon Neutrality Assessment Includes: Finalize Climate Action Plan Support in initiating 2 of 7 early-action steps Implementing approved energy efficiency program Implementing other approved carbon mitigation strategies (e.g. renewable energy technologies, others ) Carbon Program Execution Ongoing Carbon Management Services Provide ongoing GHG updates and tracking Johnson Controls & Econergy Services Public Relations & Communications Planning and Execution

11 Dutchess Community College…Early Adopter of Energy Efficiency BACKGROUND Located in Poughkeepsie, NY An ACUPCC signatory Recognized as a leader in energy efficiency and sustainability Recipient of EPA 2003 Leadership in Energy Award by Secretary of Energy Completed two highly successful performance contracts which improved infrastructure and reduced energy use

12 Dutchess Community College…Early Adopter of Energy Efficiency Performance Contract Phase 1 Implemented campus wide energy management Replaced chillers Reduced campus summer peak electric load by 50% Exceeded guaranteed energy savings by 26% in year 1 Performance Contract Phase 2 Implemented geothermal renewable energy system for heating and cooling Yields 37% savings compared to a conventional system
