全球网络赌博平台绿色循环基金
The University of New England 环保循环基金 (GRF) is an investment fund that finances energy efficiency projects on campus to reduce energy consumption and, 因此, 碳排放. Some of the captured utility savings are reinvested for use in future efficiency projects. The fund provides capital for special projects conducted by Facilities Management that reduce environmental impact and can repay the fund with cost-savings within five years.
项目标准
The projects approved to be funded by the GRF must meet the following criteria:
- Produce financial savings that will pay for the initial cost of the projects within five years. 投资回收期越短越好.
- Quantifiably improve the environmental sustainability of UNE.
- Use loan funding cost effectively as measured by the environmental impact reduction per dollar.
- 提供教育效益.
提交项目 for Consideration
Recognizing that project ideas may come through multiple avenues and from varied campus constituents, this policy and procedure seeks to streamline a process whereby proposals are reviewed and approved for funding. All projects should seek to maximize the overall benefits of sustainability in a financially responsible manner.
- Applicants will submit project proposals to the Energy Sub-Committee for review. 在这次审查中, the Energy Sub-Committee will determine the feasibility of and alignment with GRF project criteria (outlined above), 大学的使命, 设施功能, 校园规划. The Energy Sub-Committee will verify likely project payback, and then work with the Assistant to the 运营副总裁 to propose a GRF repayment structure that is beneficial to the GRF and university operating budgets. The Energy sub-committee will prioritize projects if there are multiple projects slated for consideration. (Note - members of the Energy Sub-Committee include: Facilities Manager for Biddeford Campus, 波特兰校区设施经理, 暖通空调主管, Assistant VP for Campus Planning and 可持续性 Coordinator)
- The Energy Sub-Committee will present a budget analysis to the 运营副总裁 for approval.
- The Carbon Monitoring Task Force (CMTF) will make the final decision on project proposals and loan awards. (Note – members of the CMTF include: Provost, 运营副总裁, 设备主管, Assistant Vice President for Campus Planning, Department of Environmental Studies faculty member, 环境委员会联席主席, Environmental 健康 and Safety Director, 学生代表, 财经事务代表, Institutional Advancement representative and 可持续性 Coordinator)
发展绿色循环基金
The Carbon Monitoring Task Force has identified three ways to grow the 环保循环基金. Some rebates and incentives will be reinvested in the 环保循环基金 to the greatest extent possible. Some of the energy savings from projects where grant funds were utilized to leverage matching dollars from the 环保循环基金 to realize efficiencies will be invested in the GRF. 然而, the single greatest story to tell about growing this financial tool is about the donations received from the UNE Community.
