Campus decarbonization: Replicable and scalable solutions for climate commitments

Pressure to deliver on campus climate commitments is increasing, and here you’ll see a framework for making it happen for your institution. Ron Saporta and Scott Mabury profile University of Toronto’s first large-scale decarbonization project including the leveraging of private-sector innovations, project development, getting approvals, funding, and creating an outcomes value based project procurement process. They deliver lessons learned and illustrate the results achieved from Project LEAP, aimed at reducing more than 50% of scope 1&2 CO2 emissions, while operating on one of Canada’s largest and oldest district energy systems.
