Call for project applications to the Energy & Resource Management Fund!
NOTE: Application deadline is Friday, November 4, 2011.
The University of Toronto’s Department of Facilities and Services is pleased to provide an exciting opportunity for students*, staff and faculty to put their environmental ideas into action. While the Department of Facilities and Services has always taken strides to invest in sustainability projects on campus, this fund seeks to promote environmental leadership within U of T and to build on the ideas of campus community members.
The Energy & Resource Management Fund promotes the implementation of projects that achieve a reduction in utilities consumption resulting in greenhouse gas emission reductions. Because of the source of funds, only projects with measurable energy and water savings will be considered.
Interested parties are invited to submit a Statement of Intent (SOI) to the fund that defines the scope of work. The overall application process will occur over two stages and approved SOIs will be invited to submit more detailed applications for the second round. Projects applying for fund monies will have to meet general criteria, and a Dean or Designate from the applicant’s division must approve the SOIs before they are submitted. The deadline for submitting a Statement of Intent is Friday, November 4.
*Interested students must work with a department, division or unit to be eligible for funding. Because of restrictions on the source of funds, applications from University of Toronto Mississauga, University of Toronto Scarborough, Ancillary Groups (residences, parking, food and beverage services) or Federated Colleges are not eligible. Furthermore, some types of equipment or facilities are not eligible for funding. For example, the fund will not support non-fixed equipment, research equipment, or equipment that does not become part of the building infrastructure.
Please spread the word about the Energy & Resource Management Fund to your colleagues and peers!
