The document provides an overview of the future of energy at CMN, a tribal college. It discusses CMN's longstanding commitment to sustainability through various initiatives. It outlines the college's "Big Hairy Audacious Goals" to achieve carbon neutrality and energy independence by certain deadlines. It emphasizes the importance of establishing an energy team and developing an energy management plan to execute the goals. Current progress includes adopting a benchmarking tool to track utility usage and continuing to familiarize themselves with the data.

5. Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals (BHAGs)
• According
to
ACUPCC,
CMN
commits
to:
– 100%
reducGon
in
purchased
electricity
emissions
by
2020
– “Strong
consideraGon”
of
a
50%
reducGon
in
GHG
emissions
by
2020
• Carbon
neutrality
&
energy
independence,
in
keeping
with
the
more
than
12,000-‐year-‐old
tribal
value
of
sustainability
6. Laying a foundation for success
According
to
EnergyStar,
“organizaGons
with
energy
programs
that
achieve
success
have
senior-‐level
support,
sufficient
energy
program
staff,
and
management
structures
that
empower
staff
to
address
energy
efficiency
issues
directly.”
7. Laying a foundation for success
Benchmarking
What
is?
Building
a
team
What
should
be?
Making
a
plan
Current
energy

What
could
be?
Consistent

Who
are
the

Regular

Who

What
are
our

How

What
resources
do
we
operate?
need
in
order
to
meet
them?
What
is
the
first
step?
“A
journey
of
a
thousand
miles
begins
with
a
single
step.”
—Lao-‐tzu
8. Building a campus “green team”
(or whatever)
• Energy
team
is
responsible
for:
– Planning
– Benchmarking
– ImplemenGng
– Monitoring
– EvaluaGng
• Includes
a
variety
of
stakeholders
– Students
– Faculty/staff
– OperaGons/maintenance
– SDI
representaGve
– AdministraGon
• Designate
an
team
leader
who
will:
– Recruit,
engage
and
maintain
team
members
– Coordinate
meeGngs
and
facilitate
acGon
– Be
accountable
and
commiMed
to
the
energy
management
plan
“One
person
with
a
belief
is
equal
to
99
who
have
only
interests.”
–John

9. Developing an Energy Management Plan
“If
someone
drops
a
$1,000
on
your
porch,
you
don’t
know
what
to
do
with
it
so
you
start
spending
it.
You
have
to
have
a
plan.”
