Since then, the City has: <br />• conducted an emissions inventory through the Clean Air Climate Protection <br />software, <br />• developed and started implementing a campus -wide geothermal master plan, <br />• engaged with University of Minnesota students and Minnesota's Clean Energy <br />Resource Teams to identify and evaluate potential emissions reduction <br />strategies, <br />• joined Minnesota's GreenStep Cities program and become a Step 2 City, <br />• started tracking facility energy use through Minnesota's B3 Benchmarking <br />program, an online platform that facilitates building energy data tracking and <br />analysis, <br />• started exploring opportunities for solar energy installations on City facilities, <br />and <br />• started tracking community -wide energy, water, travel, waste, and emissions <br />data through the Regional Indicators Initiative. <br />Bringing these efforts together into a Greenhouse Gas Action Plan will help <br />identify, quantify, and prioritize emissions reductions strategies that support other <br />community goals. <br />Chapter9 I Page <br />
