1. Do you Strategize?

Yes

A. Do you have a decarbonization plan with milestones? If so, please share your roadmap/plan.

B. Have you completed Sustainability School?

2. Do you Digitize?

Yes

A. Have you deployed centralized utility data management and monitoring software for energy and carbon analysis and reporting?

Yes, Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Building Automation Platform

B. Are you using metering of major energy loads to uncover opportunities to reduce energy and emissions?

C. Do you monitor energy efficiency and equipment performance and provide actionable insights?

D. Are you using power management and monitoring to monitor power quality and increase business resiliency and continuity?

E. Have you deployed innovations to maximize efficiency and digitalization of your operations?

Thanks to the Schneider Electric EcoStruxure system, we optimize facility labor resources efficiently using technology, enhancing productivity and sustainability. A game-changer for our operations!

F. Have you implemented asset upgrades and modernization programs to optimize and increase the longevity of your plant equipment and so, avoid emissions?

G. Have you embraced the digital integration of power and process as a way to minimize energy consumption while optimizing your process?

3. Do you Decarbonize?

Yes

A. Do you use automation and energy management systems to control equipment and systems efficiently?

Yes, we use Schneider Electrics EcoStruxure Building Automation system to monitor and control all of our HVAC equipment for the entire campus. Having one streamlined system gives us not only labor but also energy efficiencies due to the ease of scheduling in the system.

B. Have you implemented practices that have increased your energy efficiency?

C. Do you use renewables (PPAs, EACs, or onsite generation) for at least a portion of your energy needs?

D. Do you source energy through renewable energy power purchase agreements (offsite) or Energy Attribute Certificates to minimize your scope 2 emissions?

E. Do you use electricity from onsite renewable energy generation for reduced scope 2 emissions?

F. Have you implemented energy storage for improved resiliency, and to minimize peak demand and the associated carbon emissions? 

G. Have you aggregated distributed generation assets to maximize economic value and grid impact?

H. Have you seen carbon reduction through improved operations focused on energy efficiency and decarbonization?

I. Have you seen carbon reduction through modernization projects focused on energy efficiency and decarbonization?

J. Have you implemented practices to increase your energy efficiency?

K. Do you have a commitment program with your suppliers to reduce Scope 3 emissions?

Clark/Joe Bucher answer?

L. Do you have a commitment program with your upstream suppliers and downstream distribution to track and reduce Scope 3 emissions?

M. Do you utilize digital modeling to capture embodied carbon data from materials and equipment?

N. Have you incorporated electric vehicle charging infrastructure into your operations for fleets, employees, and/or customers?  

O. Have you converted some of your fleet vehicles or available parking to electric vehicles or EV-ready?  

P. Have you electrified some of your operations to reduce your scope 1 emissions and enable use of renewables to shrink your carbon footprint?

Q. Are you purchasing low embodied carbon materials and equipment?

Yes (Need Joe Bucher to explain the Sustainable Materials)

R. Are you using condition-based maintenance to extend your equipment life, delaying the purchase of new equipment and reducing the associated embodied carbon?

S. Do you purchase carbon offsets to balance any residual scope 1 and 3 emissions?

T. Do you reduce water usage through improved operations focused on efficiency? 

U. Do you monitor and adjust water usage based on water availability risks forecasts? 

V. Do you have optimization programs for clean-in-place operations, water and wastewater treatment and recovery focused on efficiency? 

W. Are circular materials procured and waste minimized in your operations?

Yes (Need Joe Bucher to explain the Sustainable Materials)

X. Do you have a plan to move your fossil energy-based processes to electrification?

Y(i). Have you deployed innovations or circularity business models? Please select all that apply:

Y(ii). What are the results of these innovations?
