UBC Building Operations : strategic consultation Campbell, Tommy; Cobankiat, Coby; Choi, Lydia; Cruz, Jonathan; Thakkar, Vivek

Abstract

Reducing GHG emissions to zero is an ambitious but essential goal that UBC wishes to achieve. Our strategy is to utilize top of the line technology to collect data while creating a sense of accountability across departments and individuals to make it their personal goal to achieve zero-emissions. While increasing collaboration opportunities with UBC departments, we also suggest Building Operations to transition from their existing fleet to electric vehicles and ultimately to autonomous vehicles. These initiatives will allow UBC to not only maximize efficiency of their fleets, but also bring down GHG emissions to the zero level that they aim to achieve.
