- Complete a comprehensive inventory of CMU's current and future energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and building growth.
- Develop a comprehensive plan to stabilize and reduce long-term energy and utility costs while recognizing future growth needs of the university.
- Draft an energy-efficient appliance purchasing policy for adoption by the President that promotes the purchase of ENERGY STAR certified products.
