As part of the overall Miami University Sustainability Commitments and Goals, Miami's President has accepted the following recommendations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
* Continued work to comply with Ohio House Bill 251’s goal of 20% reduction in energy consumption by 2014 based on 2004 baseline data.
* Overall greenhouse gas emissions reduction of at least 20% by 2020 over 2008 baseline data.
* Production or purchase of at least 17% of electrical power from renewable sources by 2020.
* Full displacement of coal as an on-campus energy source by 2025.

A brief summary of the climate plan’s short-term goals:
Miami is currently developing a detailed climate action plan, but in 2012 completed an Energy/Utility Master Plan to ensure compliance with the above long-term climate goals. This master plan includes a major investment in geothermal heating and cooling, which will supply 40% of campus square footage by 2025. The remainder of the campus will be supplied by natural-gas fired, combined heat and power. Implementation has begun with the drilling of a 330 well geothermal field on a portion of our campus, the first phase of the multi-year plan to eliminate coal-fired steam heating and reduce GHG emissions.
