Proposed Session Description
The Mass Maritime Decarbonization Plan addresses the central question: How can the campus grow, while reducing carbon emissions to Zero by 2035? The Master Plan serves as a pilot for DCAMM’s vision of decarbonization of the Commonwealth’s many campuses, per Executive Order 594:
'Leading by Example'.
The design team proposed an ambitious but pragmatic strategy: a new Campus Energy Loop linking each new capital improvement project, geothermal bore field and solar array, to be built in phases as each facility is added or renovated. Combined with phased deep energy retrofits and resilience improvements, this project is a breakthrough in addressing the long-term programmatic, sustainability and resilience challenges of the Academy, intimately connected to broader themes of College identity, collaboration, and sense of place.
Presentation includes preliminary energy and carbon modeling at the planning scale, and phased resilience planning for critical infrastructure,
Diversity and Inclusiveness
Mass Maritime Academy is publicly-funded institution in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Their Strategic Goal: To advance a common agenda for Inclusive Excellence that aligns institutional strategies with statewide initiatives to transform diversity, equity, and inclusion in every facet of the institution. The focus areas of this common agenda include recruitment & retention of faculty, staff, and students of color, a climate of inclusion, enhanced community engagement, and review of university infrastructure.
Learning Objectives
Gain a general understanding of the key concepts of carbon emissions from operational and embodied carbon, and the capacity of renewable energy to meet our needs.
Learn about how geothermal bore fields and solar photovoltaics can be built to power for existing and new construction
Understand how a campus Roadmap can be constructed in phases to meet campus programmatic needs and climate change goals.
Learn about how resilience planning can future-proof critical infrastructure.

Comments about your speaker roster
Tamar Warburg will be presenting along with Dave Madigan. We would also like to invite a third speaker, Sarah Creighton of the DCAMM Energy Team, if three people are allowed to present.
Anything else you'd like to tell us about your session proposal?
As I wrote above, I think it would be great to add a third speaker to the panel from the Client perspective, Sarah Creighton of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts DCAMM Energy Team, if this can be arranged.
