Renewable Energy Master Planning for Loyola Marymount

EcoMotion completed a Renewable Electricity Master Plan for Loyola Marymount University in June 2019. The planning process involved a broad look at both onsite and offsite generation options, with a focus on the existing solar systems there and the economics of potential solar system upgrades. An intriguing aspect of the plan involved fuel cells and microturbines – determining net carbon emissions in comparison to Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s renewable portfolio timetable. Part of the analysis included renewable natural gas. At the conclusion of the project, EcoMotion prepared a planning report for LMU presenting four plausible scenarios for a) cutting costs, b) cutting carbon, and c) increasing resilience.
