Years in development, the LACCD, the largest community college district in the United States, is currently implementing a comprehensive strategic plan to achieve climate neutrality in 2009. With $5.7 billion in funding, the LACCD is changing the marketplace for sustainable products and techniques. Through the use of cutting edge renewable energy generation and energy storage technology, the LACCD 24/7 hopes to be supported 100% by non-carbon based energy in the near future. This effort requires the development of innovative financing techniques that allow for the installation of this technology to occur at no additional capital cost with a reduced overall energy operating budget. In addition, LACCD is reducing or offsetting transportation carbon emissions through an aggressive program of incentives, subsidies and behavior based programs. Finally LACCD is beginning the design process on 50 new buildings that it expects will exceed LEED Platinum standards by maximizing all sustainable attributes to achieve a zero energy status.
