scheduled

Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) 2012 ECMs will result in a GHG avoidance of more than 1000 MTCO2e/yr.

• Scope 1 emissions: stationary and mobile source emissions• Scope 2 emissions: purchased electricity. • Emissions have been adjusted in an effort to include University expansion at NCRC. • 2006 baseline is 680,000 MTCO2e. • Target for this goal is a 25% reduction of the FY2006 baseline or 510,000MTCO2e.

Enduring BehaviorThe need for patience and perseverance

Raymond De Young Environmental Psychology and Planning

1. Behavior is hard to change, but its stability is good

2. Behavior has multiple causes offering options

3. Use interventions that match goal of durability

4. Change can happen, but experts need to change first
