University of Washington Climate Action Plan chilled water consumed over time, together with corresponding estimates of greenhouse gases generated. The database could be used for setting building‐ by‐building energy use goals driving behavioral changes and targeting buildings in need of additional, technology‐based approaches. The Bothell campus consists of relatively new construction and features modern metering infrastructure, making it a candidate for early implementation of an electronic dashboard system, perhaps as a test bed for the much larger project of monitoring the Seattle campus. Proposed Actions: Create baseline energy and water use information for all buildings on all three campuses. Provide additional metering with online capa‐ bilities as appropriate. Monitor building performance and use information to identify energy conservation opportunities. 4.1.4 Strategy: Central Energy Supply Technology Shift While Strategy 4.1.1 offers some modest to moderate reductions to fuel con‐ sumption at the Seattle campus central utility plant, much larger changes in GHG‐intensive fuel consumption can be achieved with capital‐intensive projects that would function as part of a long‐term strategy. In some of the strategies, system efficiency considerations might suggest that the UW build a combined heat and power plant large enough to generate all of the campus’ electric needs, perhaps making the UW a net exporter of electricity, heat or both. Candidate projects include: switch to renewable fuels • Switching to renewable energy. An example of this would be replacing the natural gas fired boilers with electric boilers contractually coupled to a new source of renewable electricity. Alternatively, the natural gas could be re‐ placed with a liquid or gaseous fuel produced from renewable resources (i.e., bio‐fuel), though this solution requires a cautious evaluation of the true life‐ cycle GHG savings of the bio‐fuel. • Carbon capture and storage. This approach involves separating CO2 from the central utility plant’s exhaust stream and injecting it in a geological reservoir for permanent storage or (less likely) converting it to a solid form such as cal‐ cium carbonate. capture and store carbon 31
