EcoShift calculates, tracks and reports on a wide range of sustainability metrics involving electricity and fuel consumption, waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
Working with sustainability metrics provides a concrete understanding of many state policies, regulations and funding opportunities that support these types of mitigation efforts. |

case study: east bay community energy
|
As Senior Project Manager for the East Bay Community Energy’s Local Business Development Plan, Blue Strike Environmental provided an innovative plan for the deployment of local clean energy resources. Completion of this first-of-its-kind report represents the culmination of an extensive stakeholder engagement, research, and analysis process designed to identify the energy and local resources empowering EBCE to drive investment into its local energy economy. This plan covers sections on electric vehicles, demand response, net energy metering, integrated resource planning. It also covers the phased-in approach to early local clean energy projects and lays the foundation of long-term vision for investment in Alameda County’s clean energy economy.

cLIMATE AND ENERGY SCENARIO ANALYSIS:
California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly)
|
EcoShift is currently assisting CalPoly with creating a roadmap to achieving the University’s carbon neutrality goal using our proprietary approach to scenario development and analysis. EcoShift’s principal tasks on this project include adapting and enhancing the award-winning Scenario Analysis Tool that we developed for UC Santa Cruz to include transportation-related emissions and lifecycle analysis capabilities, developing actionable scenarios and strategies to reduce GHG emissions cost-effectively, and analyzing and ranking those scenarios based on projected costs and benefits. The Scenario Analysis Tool provides a robust, data-driven decision-support tool for the university’s climate and energy action planning processes that are capable of quantifying and comparing the combined life-cycle costs and benefits of a portfolio of capital improvements, clean energy initiatives, and greenhouse gas emission mitigation measures.

case study: CITY OF MOUNTAIN VIEW
|
Our project team completed the City’s Local Government Operations and Community Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories using the ICLEI protocols and the ClearPath platform. Specific deliverables included master excel workbooks for each inventory containing documentation of source data and any key assumptions, a brief technical memorandum summarizing emissions by source and activity both in narrative and graphically, as well as a comparison and explanation of trends observed from previous inventories and the rationale for those trends.

Campus Sustainability and Energy Plan:
California State University Monterey Bay
|
California State University Monterey Bay pledged carbon neutrality by 2030 by signing the Second Nature Climate Commitment. To help identify pathways to achieve carbon neutrality, EcoShift and Optony wrote the Campus Sustainability and Energy Plan. The sustainability element of the plan identifies 27 goals and 59 strategies that relate to overall campus operations, addressing all Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions. The energy element compares energy scenarios that provide different roadmaps to reduce 100% of the campus’ energy emissions. Energy scenarios include the formation of a CSU-wide Community Choice Aggregator (CCA), the conversion of CSUMB’s Central Plant to an electric heat pump system and exploring distributed energy for buildings outside the campus core.
