2013 CALIFORNIA HIGHER EDUCATION SUSTAINABILITY CONFERENCE 3

As Co-Chairs of the Chancellor’s Campus Sustainability Committee at UC Santa Barbara, we are honored to welcome you to the Twelfth Annual California Higher Education Sustainability Conference (CHESC). CHESC is a unique opportunity for campuses from all three of Califor-nia’s higher education systems, as well as private institutions of higher education, to share best practices and learn from one another in the field of campus sustainability. This year, CHESC’s theme, “Declare, Demonstrate, and Propagate,” focuses on communicating sustain-ability. At UCSB, communication is a key component in engaging students, staff, and faculty in sustainability projects and initiatives. Through partnerships with each other at CHESC and beyond, we hope to build on our collective experience and knowledge and take action that will have lasting effects on our campuses and communities. The theme of the UCSB Sustainability program is “Action Today for Tomorrow.” Through our research, teaching, and institutional programs, we work to ensure that we are constantly chal-lenging ourselves to reduce our environmental footprint and to protect the Earth for future generations. UCSB is committed to fostering a “culture of sustainability” through supporting campus-wide sustainability efforts, coordinating program development, and publicizing the sustainability work of staff, faculty, and students. UCSB’s vibrant environmental studies program and never-ceasing drive for eco-leadership dates back decades. Today, 47 percent of UCSB’s academic departments have at least one course related to sustainability, and 45 percent have at least one faculty member engaged in sustainability research. UCSB strives to use its position as an institution of higher education to ensure that all students understand the interconnectedness of environmental, economic, and social systems, and to communicate that we all have a role to play in creating a sustain-able future. Our campus is also home to several innovative projects and leaders in the areas of green building, energy efficiency, sustainable food, climate change, waste, and water. We are excited to introduce you to our faculty, staff, and students working on sustainability here at UCSB. We would like to welcome you to our campus, and we hope that you have an opportunity to explore our surroundings, build relationships with one another, and collaborate on the work that helps us collectively achieve a sustainable future. Enjoy your time at the 2013 California Higher Education Sustainability Conference!

DECLARE, DEMONSTRATE, AND PROPAGATE4

Welcome to the 12th annual California Higher Education Sustainability Conference. Since the conference began, UCSB has made substantial progress towards becoming more sustainable. Some examples include:

• Established the Sustainability Change Agents in 2005- critical players in making sustainability hap-pen on our campus. We have a structure of 11 subcommittees and teams. The Chancellor’s Sustain-ability Committee (CSC) selects priorities each year so these functional groups can move in any year from being a sustainability change agent team to being a CSC Subcommittee.

• Created our first Campus Sustainability Plan in 2005/2006. This is now in its second iteration with an update completed in 2012/2013.

• Established The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF) in 2006. It was created by students with a charge to “reduce the University’s impact on the environment.” Collectively, students dedicate between $150,000-$160,000 per year of their own resources to this fund via a lock-in fee.

• Established the Chancellor’s Sustainability Committee in 2008. This committee advises the Chan-cellor and campus administrators on matters of campus sustainability, makes recommendations on sustainability initiatives, helps prioritize and monitor the execution and progress of the campus sustainability plan toward our goals, makes recommendations on allocations of available funding resources, and provides guidance in the creation and fostering of alliances.

• Established the “Faculty Sustainability Champion” program in 2009 to engage undergraduate and graduate students in sustainability issues and provide campus-wide leadership and visibility in sus-tainability based education and research.

• Implemented the Chancellor’s Sustainability Internship Program (CSI).

• Established the New Leaf Grant Program to help faculty interested in infusing concepts of sustain-ability into their courses.

• Expanded the UCSB Sustainability Internship Program which offers a wide array of opportunities for current undergraduate and graduate students to participate in campus and community based programs and initiatives. The program serves as a launching point for new internship projects.

• Hired sustainability staff members: LEED™ Program Manager; TGIF Grants Manager/Sustainability Coordinator; CHESC Event Manager/Sustainability Coordinator, Sustainability Internship Program, in Geography; Associated Students (AS) Recycling Manager; Refuse, Recycling, & Water Efficiency Manager; and Sustainability Coordinator in Student Affairs.

• The University Center created a self-operated business, root 217, which sells grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, and sustainably-caught fish. It won a Best Practice Award from UCOP in Sustainable Food Service; 35% of UCen food and non-food purchases are sustainable, and they also use com-postable service ware in their eateries (reducing plastics/Styrofoam).

• All of the UCen’s retail units and all four Residential Dining facilities, along with Catering & Conces-sions, and Special Events Catering were certified by Santa Barbara County’s Green Business Certifi-cation Program.

• Residential Dining Services offers 78% local and/or organic produce. We compost 100% of our pre- and post-consumer food waste, purchase 100% sustainable fish and recycle 100% of the waste oil into biodiesel fuel. We also standardized the purchasing of energy efficient kitchen equipment and went tray-less at all four dining commons. This reduced food waste by 50% and saved more than one million gallons of water per year.

• We achieved our 2014 GHG reduction target three years early.

• Participated in the Strategic Energy Partnership. This helped us reduce reliance on fossil fuels through implementation of lighting and HVAC efficiency projects and upgrades of building systems.


• Integrated solar power on campus and are working on a large installation on top of one of our park-ing structures.

• Achieved a 25% potable water reduction eight years early (20% required by 2020).

• Over 90% of the campus is now irrigated with reclaimed water.

• Installed a number of bioswales to convey stormwater and irrigation runoff in place of traditional un-derground pipe systems. In addition, the bioswales serve to reduce nutrient loading to the environ-ment and aesthetically soften the boundary between urban and natural areas.

• Completed our first Water Action Plan, done by a group of masters students from the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management. This will guide us through reducing water consumption over the next 15 years and is the first plan of its kind. It will be used as a template for other UC Cam-puses to adopt and use.

• Attained 44 LEED™ certifications: 12 LEED EB/OM, 10 LEED NC, 22 LEED for Homes

• 94% of our students now commute using alternative transportation by biking, walking, or taking the bus, and they get unlimited bus passes with their fees.

• We offer pre-tax payroll deduction for vanpool subscriptions and carpool permits.

• We provide access to the Carpool Match Service twenty-four hours per day.

• We subsidize a regional transit bus program for faculty and staff, and we subsidize faculty and staff van pools and carpools.

• Implemented a car share program – free sign-up and waiver of annual fees for all members of TAP.

• Our Fleet Services division became recognized as a Model Pollution Prevention Vehicle Service and Repair Facility by the California EPA.

• Installed twelve, level 2, electric car charging stations.

• Added exterior composting bins to campus and educated the community about how to use them.

• Sustainability is now firmly integrated into curriculum. About half of our departments (47%) offer at least one course related to sustainability, and over 200 faculty members (45% of faculty) conduct research related to sustainability.

• Established a practice of achieving LEED™ Silver, which was upgraded to LEED Gold in 2012. http://www.policy.ucsb.edu/policies/policy-docs/sustainable-green-building-practices.pdf

• Established a policy on Sustainable Procurement and Use Practices for paper, printers, copiers, furniture, and equipment. http://www.policy.ucsb.edu/policies/policy-docs/sustainable-procurement.pdf

• Formalized a bicycle path/parking improvements policy that went into effect as an interim policy on 7/1/11 and was approved as a formal policy on 7/1/12. http://www.policy.ucsb.edu/policies/policy-docs/sustainable-bicycle-path-parking.pdf

• Formalized an alternative fuels and ultra efficient vehicle purchasing policy that went into effect 7/1/12. http://www.policy.ucsb.edu/policies/policy-docs/sustainable-procurement.pdf

• Established an off-road, diesel powered equipment idling standard operating procedure. http://www.ehs.ucsb.edu/units/envhlth/envirhealthpdf/UCSB_Off_Road_Idling.pdf

We would like to thank all our colleagues at the UC’s, CSU’s, CC’s, and private institutions for their con-tinued collaborations. Our campus has become a much better place because of our interactions, and we look forward to more projects that will help our campus, and others, move toward a better future.

OVERALL SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

UC Berkeley, Maximino Martinez Commons

UC Berkeley’s Maximino Martinez Commons, student housing with both apartments and residence hall rooms, demonstrates exemplary integration of design principles with the building’s purpose. Although located in an urban setting, the project reinforces a sense of community with indoor communal spaces and several courtyards landscaped with native and drought-resistant plants. The building takes advantage of the Bay Area’s temperate climate through natural ventilation, and a narrow floor plate maximizes daylighting. As a residential building, half of the energy use is attributed to hot water demand. Sixty-five percent of this demand is met with an onsite solar-hot water system. These energy-saving measures, along with high-efficiency plumbing and sustainable building materials, enable the building to strive for LEED™ Gold. CSU Fullerton, Student Housing Phase III

Coming in at the estimated budget and three months ahead of schedule, CSU Fullerton’s Student Housing Phase III project added nearly 345,000 square feet to an established college, including five residence halls and a dining hall/community services building. It is the first LEED™ platinum building on the campus and surpasses the Cali-fornia Building Code Energy Efficiency Standards by 42%. The project also includes considerable water savings with native and drought resistant plants, drip and subsurface irrigation, and water-conserving plumbing fixtures. Featuring a dynamic landscape with re-planted trees from the original site and central courtyard, this project provides a landmark gathering place for the entire student body and encourages formal and informal social interactions at all scales.

HVAC DESIGN / RETROFIT

CSU Stanislaus, Chilled and Hot Water Distribution Systems and Central Plant Optimization

CSU Stanislaus investigated, evaluated, and implemented measures to optimize the performance of the campus chilled and hot water distribution systems and the chiller plants and to address operational issues and reduce energy usage. Prior to the project, a low temperature differential across the campus loop caused excessive quantities of water to be pumped throughout the campus, consuming large amounts of energy. Savings from the project were primarily attained by re-configuring the central plant, which increased the campus temperature differential and reduced pumping energy consumption, as well as by optimizing the operation of the secondary chilled water pumps and cooling towers at each chiller plant. The project is estimated to save 214,000 kilowatt hours and $39,000 annually. UC San Diego, Pacific Hall: Deep Energy Savings in a Fume Hood Intensive Lab Building

UC San Diego’s Pacific Hall, a fume-hood intensive chemistry and biology lab building, underwent a major retrofit in which HVAC systems throughout the building were converted from constant volume reheat to variable air volume (VAV) reheat. This was achieved through the use of occupancy sensors, fume hood sash height sensors, variable speed drives, and an upgraded DDC control system. In order to optimize the new VAV system opera-tion and maximize energy savings, the supply ductwork and air handlers were sealed internally. The project is estimated to save over $800,000 annually. To ensure that these savings will remain in the future, ongoing com-missioning software was installed in the building, which will continuously track the building’s energy use and outdoor air temperature, compare the building’s current usage to its baseline, and notify campus energy manag-ers when the usage has increased.


(Honorable Mention) UC San Francisco, Moffitt/Long Chilled Water System Retrofit

UC San Francisco conducted a major retrofit of the chilled water system serving its Moffitt and Long Hospitals. The retrofit replaced the system’s aging single-stage absorption chillers to state-of-the-art, electric VFD-driven centrifugal chillers. It also converted the constant-volume, primary-only chilled-water pumping system to a variable-speed primary loop serving independent variable-speed secondary loops dedicated to each hospital, and it converted the largest chilled water coil cooling valves from 3-way to 2-way flow to minimize chilled water bypass, improve system capacity through increased supply/return temperature differential, and reduce pumping energy requirements. The project is estimated to save almost $1.5 million annually from reductions in electricity, steam, maintenance, water and sewage, and greenhouse gas emissions.

LIGHTING DESIGN / RETROFIT

UC Davis, Institutional-Level Adaptive Controls for Exterior Lighting

UC Davis’ Institutional-Level Adaptive Controls for Exterior Lighting utilize a networked control system, occu-pancy sensors, and dimmable LED luminaires campus-wide. The project bridged market gaps between lighting, sensor, and control manufacturers to integrate the products with desired functionality. The networked control system utilizes radio frequency communication to integrate roadway and pathway fixtures, post tops, and wall packs into one interface which allows for dynamic light level adjustments, utility grade power monitoring, and emerging functionality, such as ‘Direction of Travel’ which allows lights to brighten in front of an approaching oc-cupant. A post-occupancy survey confirmed that users maintained a sense of security at low power levels. The project is estimated to save the campus one million kilowatt hours and $100,000 annually. CSU Fullerton, Campus-Wide Lighting Project

CSU Fullerton’s Campus-wide Lighting Project upgraded post-top, parking structure, wallpack, and stairwell lu-minaires to LEDs and replaced indoor 32-watt T8 fixtures with long-lasting 25-watt T8 lamps. The project also in-troduced the campus to advanced exterior lighting controls. A secured intranet web-based interface allows staff to control all exterior pedestrian and roadway pole fixtures on their iPads. Facilities management worked closely with campus electricians and manufacturers to design the fixtures, enabling these new, innovative products to be introduced into the market. The project is estimated to save the campus 3.3 million kilowatt hours and $445,000 dollars annually.

MONITORING-BASED COMMISSIONING (MBC

X)

CSU Long Beach, University Music Center

CSU Long Beach’s University Music Center is one of five campus buildings that performed MBCx simultaneously over the last two years. A number of operating deficiencies were identified and corrected, including repairing dampers, replacing stuck valves, replacing sensors, and adjusting control parameters. The building now provides superior comfort while using less energy. Savings of 7% of the electricity use, 66% of the chilled water supplied to the building for air conditioning, and 72% of the natural gas for space heating were measured with the newly installed meters, with a simple payback under 4 years. The MBCx commissioner, EnerNOC, provided compre-hensive operation manuals and trained the building operations staff in how to maintain the performance of the building. Automatic filters will flag problems in the future, before they can waste significant energy. Hence, the campus will maintain these significant savings for years to come. UC Santa Cruz, Earth and Marine Sciences Building

At UC Santa Cruz’s Earth and Marine Sciences Building, a new web-based energy management system, was installed to upgrade control of all building systems. This commissioning effort ensured that the new controls are used to implement the most efficient strategies (demand-based ventilation and scheduling). The new metering verified that significant energy savings were achieved, measured at 14% of the electricity use and 21% of the gas use of the building, with a simple payback under 3 years. The monitoring left in place will help maintain this per-


formance and savings for years to come through trending, fault diagnostics, and alarming. The campus executed this work without the assistance of an outside commissioning agent, so the building operations staff has special ownership of the building performance, with knowledge that will translate into persistent savings.

STUDENT ENERGY EFFICIENCY

UC Berkeley, Fight the Flow

UC Berkeley’s Fight the Flow is an excellent example of how saving water can also result in significant energy savings. UCB PowerSave interns installed 124 UZLOW shower valves in two of their residence halls and conduct-ed an ongoing campaign to residents to educate them on how to use the valve and its potential savings. When in use, the UZLOW valve reduces both water consumption and the natural gas used to heat water by decreasing hot water flow when shampooing, shaving, or soaping up. From 1990 to 2009, the UC Berkeley residence halls displayed a 10% increase in water usage; however, the 570,000 gallons of annual water saved by Fight the Flow returned the building’s usage to 1991 levels in less than one year. These water savings translate to 950 therms in annual energy savings. The Fight the Flow campaign was so successful that it is being expanded to another residence hall and a university family housing complex. San Diego State University, Lighting Efficiency Campaign

SDSU’s lighting efficiency campaign educated students, faculty, and administration on the importance of con-tinuing to support energy efficiency projects, while at the same time saving hundreds of thousands of dollars for the University. SDSU’s PowerSave interns received grants from San Diego Gas and Electric and Energy Tech-nology Assistance Program to replace fluorescent T8 bulbs to LEDs with bi-level capabilities in four university parking lots. The interns educated key campus administration divisions on the retrofits and the importance of energy efficiency by giving presentations and conducting energy audits. Additionally, almost 1000 students and faculty were educated through presentations in the classroom. Not only are these initiatives estimated to save the campus 200,000 kilowatt hours annually, but they have established campus-wide support for future energy efficiency projects as well.

STUDENT SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM

Cal Poly Pomona, Sustainability Course Guide

In response to overwhelming student demand, Cal Poly Pomona’s Sustainability Course Guide was created as a resource for students seeking to integrate environmentally sustainable concepts, theories, and practices into their college education and, ultimately, to apply this knowledge on campus and in their future workplace. Creat-ed by PowerSave Interns, the online guide covers sustainability-focused and sustainability-related courses from all academic departments. Interns ensure that the guide stays relevant by updating it quarterly and maximizing its exposure by working with departments to advertise it on their websites. In the first three months of its release, the course guide has already had 700 views. UC San Diego, Thrifting Trunk Show

UCSD’s Thrifting Trunk Show is notable for the impressive scale and level of student engagement it accom-plished on a zero-dollar budget. The students from the Sustainability Program Office partnered with campus fashion magazines to organize an event that brought local thrift stores onto campus to market their items as an alternative to shopping for new clothes and accessories. Over 700 students attended the event, and approxi-mately 700 items were sold. The project was such a success because the event organizers focused on making it fashionable - they picked out the trendy clothes that would be sold at the event and organized a fashion show with items provided by the vendors. Although the project was initially intended to be a one-time program, it was so successful that it has become a regularly occurring event on campus.


WATER EFFICIENCY & SITE WATER QUALITY

UC Santa Barbara, Water Action Plan

UC Santa Barbara’s Water Action Plan (WAP) determines the historical and current campus water use in order to understand water use trends over time, identifies and assesses potential water reduction strategies that could enable future water savings, and recommends the most promising strategies for the campus to deploy in order to minimize future water use. The WAP was also constructed with transferability in mind, having been designed to allow other universities to utilize it as a template for their own water management document. The Plan’s 15-year planning horizon and ability to address water supply concerns campus-wide will allow the campus to achieve real water savings while meeting the needs of future water users.

INNOVATIVE WASTE REDUCTION

UC Merced, Green Container Initiative

The Green Container Initiative has enabled UC Merced to eliminate disposables from the dining commons. Takeout orders are now offered in reusable containers which customers purchase at the point of sale, using their student meal card. Containers are sold back to Dining Services through the OZZI machine. The OZZI scans a barcode located on the bottom of the container, deposits the container into the machines collection bin, and reimburses the student’s meal card. UC Merced is currently the only known campus that has linked up the OZZI machine to their student meal cards. Once collected by the OZZI, the containers are washed and sanitized by the dining staff. There are currently three OZZI machines on campus and a plan to install two more in the near future.

SUSTAINABLE FOODS SERVICE

UC Berkeley, LeanPath

UC Berkeley’s LeanPath pre-consumer waste reduction system is a significant technological advance in the measurement of food waste. The program allows foodservice employees to use the LeanPath scale and touch-screen terminal to weigh and log information on food waste before discarding it. The tracker requests the following data: employee identification, food item, loss reason, container, service area, scale number, and site name. Once a sufficient amount of data has been aggregated, the program provides Cal Dining operations with a summary of the recorded information. Each dining hall team uses the summaries to pinpoint five food categories with the highest disposal volume and discusses strategies to reduce food waste in these areas. The program has enabled Cal Dining to cut down their pre-consumer food waste by 33% so far.

SUSTAINABILITY INNOVATIONS

CSU Monterey Bay, TRIPWise and Transportation on and to/from the CSUMB Campus

CSU Monterey Bay’s TRIPWise is a comprehensive program that provides alternative transportation solutions from all angles and brands them under one name. Over the past two years, the program has vastly increased the biking infrastructure of the campus and surrounding community by building a secure bicycle storage garage and establishing 3.8 miles of bicycle boulevards. This was complemented with a community bike map highlight-ing best biking routes to important destinations. The program has increased the number of bus lines that serve the campus from one to four and established free ridership for all CSUMB students, faculty, and staff. In addition, the program conducted an analysis that identified the most appropriate locations for electric vehicles charging stations and has already installed two sites on campus. These initiatives and many more were carried out with no budget, and resources were obtained through grants, regional agreements, and student engagement.


UC Santa Cruz, College Dorm Bi-Level Stairwell Lighting Retrofit and Green Revolving Loan Fund

UC Santa Cruz used their dorm stairwell bi-level lighting retrofit as a pilot project to establish their green-revolving loan fund (GRLF). Before the retrofit, an energy audit and data analysis were conducted to establish a baseline and ensure a quick payback period. This was critical to establishing the GRLF, as hesitant administration were unable to see the quantifiable monetary savings. The initial funding for the project came from the Carbon Initiative Fund, under the condition that savings from the retrofit would be used to establish a GRLF. By bring-ing together stakeholders from Physical Plant, Planning and Budget Department, the Sustainability Office, and Housing, the student leaders of the project were able ensure that electricity savings from the project would not be automatically routed back into campus maintenance, but, instead, could be used to establish the GRLF. The money in the GRLF can then be used to finance future energy efficiency projects.

COMMUNICATING SUSTAINABILITY

UC Davis, UC Davis Cool School Awareness Program

The University of California, Davis won national recognition from The Sierra Club for their environmental sustain-ability efforts. Designated the “#1 Cool School” for 2012-13, UC Davis’s Sustainability and Communication Of-fices partnered up to maximize the communication opportunities presented by the accolade. They developed a branding toolkit and outreach campaign that increased awareness of the #1 ranking and campus sustainability efforts among students, faculty, staff, and the general public, encouraged audiences to adopt and continue sustainable practices, and generated school pride around the ranking. They then partnered up with many various campus events and programs to spread the word to a wide audience. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Sustainability Educational Outreach

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s Sustainability Educational Outreach is composed of several complementing initiatives. Facilties Services created and maintains a university-wide sustainability website, encompassing guiding prin-ciples, curriculum, research, planning, design and construction, campus operations, student activities, metrics, events, and case studies. Every other year, the department also publishes a full color, glossy progress report on sustainability designed to communicate to the campus and surrounding community, peer institutions, and re-gional and state leaders. Cal Poly has two sustainability mascots that help bring sustainability efforts to life - Mr. Eco and Poly the Polar Bear. Through rap music, “Mr. Eco” educates and inspires students of all ages to consider the impact of their actions on the global environment. Poly the Polar bear encourages students to participate in the campus energy competitions by educating them on the effects of climate change.


California Community Colleges’ Board of Governors’ Excellence in Energy and Sustainability Awards

EXCELLENCE IN ENERGY & SUSTAINABILITY - DISTRICT LEADERSHIP AWARD

Victor Valley Community College, District Sustainability Program

In 2010, district leadership made a commitment to create a comprehensive sustainability program to reduce its dependency on utilities and reduce future expenditures. Sustainability projects included installing four large so-lar power systems on campus and a campus sustainable landscaping project that will save an estimated 865,634 gallons of water per year. The district entered into an agreement with Compass Energy Solutions to complete a series of energy efficiency upgrades to the main campus. Students were involved in the lighting project to help identify areas on campus that need better lighting for increased safety and energy savings. The district also participated in the California Community Colleges and Investor Owned Utility Energy Efficiency Partnership by working with Southern California Edison to install plug-load controls and install power management software on 2,100 computers throughout campus. The district is requiring the design of its New Science Health facility to par-ticipate in the Southern California Edison “Savings by Design” program, which may earn $200,000 in incentives. (Honorable Mention) MiraCosta CCD, District-wide Sustainability Advisory Committee

In 2010, MiraCosta College launched a comprehensive master planning effort. This vision was reinforced with the adoption of the district’s new institutional strategic goals that were formulated in the educational planning pro-cess. One strategic Goal and objective was specifically focused on developing strategies and an implementation plan to establish model environmental sustainable practices. In order to ensure that the district would be able to accomplish these objectives, a Sustainability Advisory Committee established by the Superintendent/President in January 2011 worked quickly to establish the first MiraCosta College District BP/AP 3260 on Energy and Sus-tainability. This committee was an integral part of developing the vision, goals, and focused plan for sustainable practices that were incorporated into 2011 CMP. The committee has gone on to develop three plans of action and an implementation timeline for environmentally sustainable practices and systems, including photovoltaic power systems, energy and water conservation projects, and water quality management.

EXCELLENCE IN ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY - FACILITIES & OPERATION

Santa Monica College, The Santa Monica College Energy Project

The Santa Monica College Energy Project was developed by the Santa Monica College Board of Trustees in 2012 and included three main projects: replacing nine old and inefficient boilers, replacing 11,000 of approxi-mately 16,000 light fixtures on campus, and a renovation of the Santa Monica College Center for Environmen-tal and Urban Studies. On the main campus, nine boilers were replaced with energy efficient boilers. The light fixtures were replaced with a combination of fluorescent and LED lights. The renovation featured the installation of a three-stage heating system. The first stage consolidated all computer equipment into a server closet. Waste heat is captured from the computers and pumped through the building. The second, a solar thermal heating sys-tem, as well as the third, was an electrical heating element housed in the solar thermal tank and powered by the center’s existing solar photovoltaic system. The energy project also included sealing the envelope of the building by installing new windows, blown-in cellulose insulation, weather stripping, and insulation in the ceiling and crawl space. (Honorable Mention) Sonoma County Junior College District, “Green Epicurean Delights”A long-time leader in environmental stewardship through education and innovative practices, Santa Rosa Junior College (SRJC) has pioneered many firsts in the California Community College system and continues to actively champion a proud heritage of sustainability and conservation of California’s natural resources. This commitment is reflected in their latest built environment, the B. Robert Burdo Culinary Arts Center. The task was to create a sense of place that is beautiful to the eye, as well as a highly functional and efficient sustainable learning center built for the long term. This 22,000 two-story culinary center offers a retail bakery, retail dining café, café kitchen, two teaching kitchens, a production bakery, three sculleries, three full media classrooms, offices, a chocolate/ice cream room, and a temperature controlled wine library. Their creative design not only meets USGBC-LEED™


standards but also ensures operational sustainability. This groundbreaking design is being reviewed by other Districts interested in emulating it.

EXCELLENCE IN ENERGY & SUSTAINABILITY - FACULTY & STUDENT INITIATIVES

West Valley College, LEED™ Internship Program

The West Valley College LEED™ Internship was created to fulfill the hands on requirement for the WVC Sus-tainability Certificate Program, using their own campus as a living laboratory. The interns are involved with all aspects of sustainability on campus. Apart from work with the built environment, the focus includes sustainable development, social justice, and issues pertaining to a holistic approach of environmental stewardship. The result has been a growing group of highly motivated and visible sustainability advocates on campus. It began Fall 2011, when the Internship pilot program was initiated with five interns working on a feasibility study of LEED EBOM certification of the Fox Technology Center on WVC Campus. The Current focus areas include writing the sustain-ability plan with the Sustainability Committee, implementation of the Creek Restoration project, and long term planning for the future of the internship. The main obstacles overcome included the perception that working with interns will slow a project down and cost more money and incorporating new interns faced with a steep learning curve. (Honorable Mention) Skyline College, Solar and Building Science Learning Center Laboratory

Development

The Solar and Building Science Learning Center laboratory has become the focal point for sustainability cur-riculum and instruction at Skyline College. This center had been a dream of the three faculty nominated for this award: Bruce Greenstein, Omer Thompson, and Aaron Wilcher. The Center consists of a full-scale energy ef-ficient test house and solar installation lab. By braiding funding from a number of different grants, awards, bonds, and general fund dollars, a former cosmetology laboratory was changed into a state of the art renewable energy and energy efficiency laboratory. The Center is home to equipment for solar installation and residential energy auditing and retrofitting. It has a solar installation side with six stations for students to learn solar installation and two live stations that are connected to the multiple roof types located outside the room.

ENERGY CONSERVATION IN STUDENT HOUSING THROUGH SOCIAL NORMS, AND WIRELESS THERMOSTATSEnergy - Student Affairs and Auxiliaries

Bren Hall 1424

In the first session, we learn about the use of smart thermostats and software algorithms to reduce HVAC consumption in student housing at Azusa Pacific University. Energy reductions are primarily achieved through advanced occupancy sensing and control, resulting in savings approaching 60%, given ideal circumstances. Our other session explores the use of public signaling of energy consumption rather than the typical price signaling to conserve energy. This approach, and the resultant analysis of field research conducted in student housing here at UC Santa Barbara, will help managers reduce costs when consumers are not directly responsible for their utility bill.

PAPERLESS STUDENT HEALTH: NAVIGATING THE FOREST AND SAVING THE TREESHealthcare - Waste Reduction and Recycling


The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act encourages practices to reduce paperwork and administrative costs by adopting electronic health records which allow for the secure and confidential electronic exchange of health information. The Fed-eral Government expects that,with the onset of new regulations as of October 1, 2012, “using electronic health records will reduce paperwork and adminis-trative burdens, cut costs, reduce medical errors and most importantly, improve the quality of care.” Incen-tive programs such as CMS’ Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Progams can provide five-figure reim-bursements to eligible professionals and institutions



that show meaningful use of approved EHRs. EHRs are well-suited to the Student Health environment, and provide multiple advantages for clinics and their clients, including the ability to confidentially docu-ment patient encounters, to allow comprehensive QI queries and audits, to facilitate permitted and legal exchange of health information internally and with HIPAA compliant vendors and agencies, and to pro-vide online portals through which students can make appointments, fill out health history forms, commu-nicate with their providers, see laboratory results, etc,... Despite the advantages of EHRs, their adop-tion and full use by student health centers may not move forward as smoothly as hoped—challenges that arise include the cost of the software, hardware, and training; the time needed to use EHRs effectively and efficiently; resistance to their full implementa-tion by some providers and staff. Our presentation will address pitfalls and pearls of EHR use in the student health setting, and share best practices for EHR selection, adoption, implementation, and use in student health.

WATER IN LANDSCAPING, FROM RESEARCH TO PRACTICEWater and Landscaping

Ellison Hall 2609

Landscaping is vital for quality of life with signifi-cance in recreation, erosion control, stormwater management, fire protection, and ecosystem protec-tion or enhancement. However, outdoor water use for landscaping often accounts for about half of urban water demand. Therefore proper landscape design, maintenance and irrigation practice should protect water as a resource. CSU Long Beach, UC San Diego and CSU San Bernardino are going to share how they are finding ways to accomplish this goal through research to practice.

COMPOSTING OUR WAY TO ZERO WASTEFood Systems - Waste Reduction and Recycling

Ellison Hall 4824

Integrating a comprehensive composting program

into campus waste management is a critical step in the path towards zero-waste, and there are several different strategies to help reduce this particular waste stream. At CSU Northridge, food and land-scaping waste is mixed into on-site compost bins, and the finished product is used to grow food for the same dining establishments. At UC Berkeley, Compost Alliance is working with an outside vendor to develop a compost pickup program in campus buildings. At UC Irvine, compost is processed using an anaerobic digester. Each of these strategies helps eliminate compostable waste, and brings the institu-tion closer to its zero waste goal.

ARE GREEN AND LABS MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE? FIND OUT!Energy - Green Building Operations, Mainte-


Bren Hall 1424

In this session you will learn that energy efficiency measures in previously off-limits laboratories can be implemented. Researchers and lab managers are quite protective of their domain, but they are also aware of the need to reduce a campus carbon foot-print. They just don’t always know how. We present three replicable methods that are embraced by labo-ratory stakeholders. The speakers address efficiency measures for ultra low temperature freezers, how a Green Team can work effectively with a lab manager, and how one convinces a researcher to change his or her behavior when it comes to shutting a fume hood sash.

UC SUSTAINABILITY ACADEMIC TASK FORCEMosher Alumni House, Alumni Hall

Reporting on sustainability in academics is required for STARS and other campus sustainability surveys. In addition, the American College & University Presi-dent’s Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), of which all campuses have become signatories, states that signatories need to develop “Actions to make climate neutrality and sustainability a part of the curriculum and other educational experiences for all students”. Although several campuses have institutes and/or working groups that facilitate best practice sharing and coordination to advance sustainability initiatives in education and research, there was not currently any organized sharing of best practices on a system-wide basis. The UC Sustainability Academic Task Force is a small group of faculty leaders, sustain-ability staff, and students who aim to address this need. Please join us for a discussion of some of their current projects.

GREENING YOUR PURCHASING SYSTEMSPurchasing and Business Services - Institutional-

izing Sustainability

Elings Hall 1601

Some remarkable headway in procurement! This session will cover three approaches to greening the supply chain for higher education. One example is order consolidation that deals with efficiency in packaging and shipping; another provides an analysis of where the most spend is realized, and suggests methods and next steps for improvements; and the third focuses on life-cycle assessment of products, then tagging and weighting them within an elec-tronic procurement system so that the green choices become more prominent. All three methods include vast environmental improvements so this is a session you won’t want to miss!

INTEGRATED DESIGNGreen Building New Construction – Institutional-

izing Sustainability

Bren Hall 1414

Integrated design is relatively new to building indus-try and is evolving quickly. Typical industry project delivery and process often falls far short of the true and effective integrated design. Stanford will discuss how it has “broken ranks” from the traditional team model to assign one expert and non-team member to work with all projects to ensure design consistency. CSU Pomona will discuss how EDR DesignShift cur-riculum for students is bringing on paradigm shifts. This session will shed light on new approaches to building construction and integrated design in the greater scheme of sustainability.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN PROCESS: FROM VISION TO IMPLEMENTATION Institutionalizing Sustainability

Elings Hall 1605

Higher education institutions have the profound abil-ity to advance environmental, social, and economic sustainability while providing an example for the wid-er society. In the best practice, this triple bottom-line definition of sustainability needs to imbue all aspects of an institution’s thinking, from curriculum through planning to the design and operations of buildings. This panel discussion will share insights from three different higher education institutions, addressing the infusion of sustainable principles and practices into three key steps along the continuum of design for a specific project: Initial Visioning, Master Planning, and Programming.

STUDENTS WORKING WITH FACILITIES MANAGEMENTWaste Reduction and Recycling - Student Affairs

and Auxiliaries


Involving students in campus operations through departments such as Facilities Management can help improve student awareness of both campus environmental efforts and planning processes. Waste management staff at both UC Santa Barbara and UC Davis have incorporated students into several such programs. At UC Davis, students reduce the waste associated with new construction projects by assessing materials used and by developing waste infrastructure for the completed building. At UC Santa Barbara, students participate both as interns researching potential waste infrastructure improve-ments and as paid student workers that directly participate in the collection and processing of recy-clables, compostables, and electronic waste.

LED LIGHTING FOR LIVE EVENT VENUES: A TOUR OF UCSB ISLA VISTA THEATERMeet at the Information Kiosk near Campbell Hall2:30pm-3:45pm

During it’s renovation in the 1990‘s Isla Vista Theater had a 100amp power disconnect installed to power a lighting dimmer pack housing 12- 2.4Kw dimmers. This gave the facility control of 20- 1000watt fixtures with which to light events. In 2012 The Green Initiative Fund granted the purchase of LED fixtures which not only greatly expanded the lighting capabilities of the venue but did it while utilizing a power draw within the limits of a single 20 amp circuit.

CLOSING REFLECTIONS AND KEYNOTECampbell Hall4:00pm-5:00pm

Drew Dellinger

How do we educate in a world that is unraveling and transforming? What resources and vi-sion can education bring to our current cultural shifts and our work for ecological resilience?

The idea that higher education can play a pivotal role in addressing environmental and social crises may seem bold, but when we look at the science and math around climate change (as just one example), few current proposals for addressing this problem seem bold enough to offset the predicted rise in Earth’s temperature. This talk will consider Thomas Berry’s statement that “Ecology is not a course; is not a program. Ecology is the context for all courses and all programs.”

Might education be central to safeguarding the sustainability of the earth over the next few centuries? And might this overarching mission provide energy and vision to students individually and to institutions of higher education generally?

In his last months, Martin Luther King Jr. put forth a call to ‘planetize the movement’ and create a worldwide cul-ture of peace and justice. In light of the ecological problems of our time, how might education serve to ‘planetize the student’ and prepare upcoming generations to engage our most pressing challenges? This talk will explore the potential for positive social and ecological change and the role of students and teachers in providing wisdom and guidance for our moment in history.

Drew Dellinger, Ph.D., is an internationally known speaker, poet, writer, and teacher whose keynotes and po-etry performances - which address ecology, justice, cosmology, and connectedness - have inspired minds and hearts around the world. He is also a consultant, filmmaker, and founder of Planetize the Movement.

Dellinger has presented at over 1,200 events across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. He has spoken and performed at numerous conferences - including Bioneers, the Green Festival, the Dream Reborn, and the Parlia-ment of the World’s Religions - as well as colleges and universities, poetry venues, protests, and places of wor-ship.

Dellinger’s award-winning book of poems, Love Letter to the Milky Way, now in its sixth printing, has readers in dozens of countries on six continents. Dellinger’s work has appeared in films, books, anthologies, and maga-zines - from The New York Times magazine to YES!, Tikkun, Kosmos, and others. His poems have been cited and quoted in venues ranging from prison workshops to climate change hearings before the US Congress.

As a consultant, Dellinger was a core developer and designer of the Pachamama Alliance’s Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium, now used in 70 countries, in 13 languages.

Dellinger holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion from California Institute of Integral Studies, and has taught and lectured at numerous colleges and universities including John F. Kennedy University, where he was Associate Professor and Director of the Program in Social Ecology.

Dellinger has been called “a national treasure,” by Joanna Macy, “a deep and courageous poet,” by Alice Walker and “one of the most creative, courageous and prophetic voices of his generation,” by Cornel West.
