California Higher Education Sustainability Conference 1 Dear Conference Participants:

On behalf of San Diego State University, I welcome you to the 13th annual California Higher Education Sustainability Conference being hosted by the Associated Students of San Diego State University in the new Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union.

I invite you to enjoy beautiful San Diego and all it has to offer. From our beaches to our mountains and deserts, San Diego County is the most biologically diverse county in America but also has the most imperiled number of plants and animals of any other county in the nation, challenging us to protect this beauty and diversity.

This year’s conference theme of “Creating Our Future Today” represents the commitment that SDSU students have made for our future by building the very sustainable Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union, which is on track to be LEEDTM Platinum certified. As young people, we recognize that we must create our future today with an urgency based on the many challenges faced by humans on planet Earth.

The opportunity to bring together students, faculty, staff as well as government, non-profit, and industry partners from all over California to work together in creating our future sustainable world is very exciting for the Associated Students. This year’s California Higher Education Sustainability Conference has many great presentations, field trips, and pre- and post-conference workshops that provide great opportunities to share and learn how others are creating a sustainable future.

Please enjoy your visit to SDSU and thank you to everyone who has contributed to make this conference a success.

Sincerely, J. Cole Associated Students President

2 Creating Our Future Today Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union

The Associated Students of San Diego State University is proud to be hosting the CA Higher Education Sustainability Conference in the new Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union. The Student Union is expected to receive LEEDTM Platinum certification and was the winner of the Best Practice Award in Overall Sustainable Design for the CSU System. Design was completed in April 2011, and construction was completed in January 2014.

During your visit, we hope that you have an opportunity to take a tour of the building. Tours will be offered on Tuesday, June 17th at 11:45am - 1:00pm and Wednesday, June 18th, 10:15am - 11:30am, starting from the information booth, next to Pride Suite. The Student Union will also be highlighted in the session titled “Best Practices in Overall Sustainable Design” on Wednesday at 10:15am -11:30 am in Templo Mayor. You will also receive a Student Union self-guided tour brochure at the Opening Keynote so you can tour the Student Union at your leisure.

Some of the many notable features of the building include:

Energy and Cost Savings

• The building will use 1,782,900 kWh less than baseline. • Using a whole building energy simulation (EnergyPro), the building has 49.82% energy cost savings annually. The benchmark was Title 24-2005, Part 6. • 450 kW AC of solar PV panels providing clean renewable energy and on‐peak demand reduction. • The building management system is programmed to cycle or limit equipment during on‐peak electricity demand periods. • The facility will also use educational and behavior modification programs to reduce energy consumption.

Lighting Design

• Developed with an exterior enclosure that did the most to reduce heat gain while maximizing opportunities for natural daylight. • Abundant natural lighting and views with extensive use of light towers, some spanning two floors. • Office portions of the building are organized to maximize the amount of useable light coming into the building. • Extensive lighting control systems with motion sensors and daylight harvesting.

HVAC Design

• Designed with a series of exterior courtyards surrounded by covered exterior walkways which provides pedestrian circulation and shades the exterior walls, thereby reducing, the heat load on the building.

• The planning and window strategies of the office portion of the building create an environment that is entirely naturally ventilated and cooled, significantly reducing operation costs. • Use of overhangs, roof projections, and deeply recessed windows to protect from summer sun exposure. • The dining room has a radiant floor that heats and cools the area through the concrete slab where hot or cold water passes through coils and “radiates” through the concrete. The entire west side of all three floors of the Union features adiantr flooring. The Student Union radiant floor installation is currently the largest radiant floor in San Diego County. • Manual and automatic operable windows and shades provide increased ventilation effectiveness and shading. • A combination of a white cool roof, extra insulation and a green roof reduces the heat island effect and the heat load on the building.

Water Collection and Efficiency Measures

• Underneath the Lee & Frank Goldberg Courtyard are three 50,000 galloon rainwater collection tanks used for landscape irrigation. Rainwater runs off the roof and into the collection tanks.

Materials

• Extensive use of Forest Stewardship Council certified laminated beams and paneling. • Bamboo, Terrazzo and polished concrete floors. Terrazzo is a composite material consisting of recycled marble, quartz, granite or glass, and poured with a binder. It is cured and then ground and polished to a smooth surface.

Improvement of project performance and integration of sustainable solutions through collaborative design process

• The design team facilitated a series of workshops to identify a full range of sustainable strategies, cost evaluations, programming and planning impact, and demonstrable value. • The Associated Students in collaboration with local LEEDTM experts developed a project program statement that required a LEEDTM Platinum certification and substantial sustainable features from the onset of the design process. • The Associated Students student leaders continually engaged with the Cannon Design team and the University throughout the project to ensure the inclusion of sustainable solutions. • The project had to be voted upon and approved by the students of SDSU, and as such, the sustainability elements were communicated clearly from an early stage in extensive meetings, focus groups, and presentations to student organizations.

4 Creating Our Future Today Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union Historical and Cultural Significance of the Room Names

Each floor in the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union adopted themes for the names of the rooms.

FLOOR 1 - SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY HISTORY

Pride Suite - Celebrates SDSU school spirit and Aztec Pride.

Park Boulevard - Represents how San Diego State University began as San Diego Normal School, a training facility for elementary school teachers, first located above a drugstore in downtown San Diego and eventually moved to a 17-acre campus on Park Boulevard.

FLOOR 2 - AZTEC HISTORY Many of the room names on this floor are in Nahuatl (na wa tel), the native language of the Aztec People.

Metztli (Mets tlE) - Moon

Aztlan (ˈ(AHZ lahn) - Mythical ancestral home of the Aztecs

Tehuanco (te wh anco) - Our Place

Templo Mayor - One of the main temples of the Aztecs in their capital city of Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City. Translation means “great pyramid.”

Montezuma Hall - The same name as the former Aztec Center’s large multi-purpose room named after the Aztec Emperor.

FLOOR 3 - ASSOCIATED STUDENTS HISTORY

Council Chambers - A room specifically designed for the meetings of the Associated Students Board of Directors, Councils, Boards, and Committees

State Suite - Represents student advocacy throughout SDSU and Associated Students

Presidential Suite - Recognizes and Honors all past Associated Students presidents

Visionary Suite - Represents student leadership ideas and visions

Legacy Suite - A tribute to student leadership accomplishments and traditions that are passed on from year to year.

Harvey J. Goodfriend Lounge - Harvey was a 1957 graduate of SDSU who managed Aztec Shops and the Associated Students from 1961 to 1981. He was instrumental in the construction of Aztec Center, the first permanent student union in the CSU. He retired from Aztec Shops in 1999 and passed away on September 2, 2008.

California Higher Education Sustainability Conference 5 Introduction to the Conference

Our Theme: Creating Our Future Today

The sustainability movement has been growing rapidly, and it is time to reach out to new audiences. This year’s conference theme is meant to invoke the image of communities coming together to collaboratively create solutions. The theme is both forward-thinking in its focus on the future, as well as reminding us about the urgency of the work we do by adding “today” at the end of the phrase.

PROGRAM LABELS

In past years, registrants have given the CHESC Steering Committee feedback that it would be helpful to have more guidance about whether sessions are designed for a “beginner” or “advanced” audience. We found it difficult to categorize our sessions in this way, but we were still keen to tackle this challenge. With that in mind, we have developed a new labeling system which includes two indicators, the jargon level and whether the practices presented offer “low-hanging fruit” or “deep green” solutions. Please see below for more detail:

JARGON

One specific concern that we have heard from past registrants is that sometimes the specialized terms and acronyms in a session can be difficult to follow for the people new to the field. On the other hand, given the short presentation times and amount of material covered, presenters don’t want to spend too much time explaining terms that registrants are likely to know already. To help registrants understand which sessions may be appropriate for them, we developed a three tier rating:

Level 1 (General Audience): Limited or no jargon will be used in this session. Presenters will define acronyms before using them. This session is a great fit for a wide variety of people, ranging from those new to sustainability to more experienced attendees.

Level 2 (Interdisciplinary Talk): Attendees of this session are assumed to be broadly familiar with the field of sustainability. Attendees may, however, be from many different job backgrounds and areas of expertise. Accordingly, some jargon and common acronyms will be used; however, these will be terms used widely in the sustainability field.

Level 3 (Specialized Talk): Attendees of this session are expected to have expertise specifically related to the topic covered in the session or have done work related to this topic specifically. This session is not, however, restricted to professional staff, and a student leader who has been working closely with professionals in the field on this topic for some time may find value in this session.

6 Creating Our Future Today LOW-HANGING FRUIT VS. DEEP GREEN

Campuses attending the conference range from stakeholders who are just starting their first sustainability project to stakeholders that have been in the field and have been working on these issues for many years. We hope to ensure that there are some presentations which will help new-comers to get started, while still providing new ideas to the campuses that have continued to attend our event for many years and are constantly developing new initiatives.

Level 1 (Low-hanging Fruit): Practices and initiatives highlighted in this presentation could be implemented by campuses just getting started or campuses that have been around for a while. Return on investment for these projects is generally fairly quick, and the practices are not too difficult to implement (at least at a pilot level).

Level 2 (Ripening Efforts): For those campuses that have already implemented most of the Low-hanging fruit and who want to start reaching a little higher, this will be a great session. The practices highlighted will be challenging to implement, and the returns won’t be as quick, but they are well worth the effort.

Level 3 (Deep Green): Attendees who have attended many conferences and implemented several programs on their campuses will be excited to hear about the fresh new ideas in this session. These practices are ambitious and rare amongst campuses throughout the state. These practices will be difficult for a campus new to sustainability to adopt.

OVERALL SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

San Diego State University: Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union San Diego State University’s on track to be LEEDTM Platinum certified Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union, completed in January 2014, houses a wide range of student organizations, food service tenants, a fitness center, and a 300-seat theater. Green features include a 450 kW photovoltaic array, an energy efficient in-slab radiant heating and cooling system, and a 150,000 gallons of underground tanks to store captured rainwater for irrigation purposes. The design incorporates features from California mission architecture, broad roof overhangs, recessed operable windows, and covered outdoor walkways, to create comfortable outdoor spaces and make an energy efficient building envelope. The building is expected to use nearly 50 percent less energy than the Title-24 benchmark.

Presentation: Wednesday, June 18th, 10:15 am - 11:30 am, Templo Mayor, Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union, “Best Practices in Overall Sustainable Design”

UC Davis: Plant & Environmental Science (PES) Lab Energy Retrofit Scheduled to be completed in July 2014, the Plant & Environmental Lab Energy Retrofit project represents a synergy between energy efficiency measures, incorporating HVAC and lighting into the same occupancy determined control system. UC Davis chose to incorporate the occupancy sensors installed for the lighting project to more efficiently run the HVAC system, based on occupancy (as opposed to just time schedules). Occupancy data from the sensors will determine air change rates of a newly-installed variable air volume system. The project is expected to reduce electricity consumption by 34% and natural gas by 38%. This project demonstrates how occupancy sensors can greatly reduce both lighting and HVAC energy consumption.

CSU Stanislaus: Naraghi Hall 3rd floor Ventilation Management Improvement Scheduled to be completed in July of 2014, the Ventilation Management Improvement project at CSU Stanislaus installed a centralized demand-controlled ventilation system for lab space on the third floor of Naraghi Hall. The system regulates air-change rates, based on the concentration of harmful chemicals in the air, reducing air-change rates when concentrations are low and quickly ramping up air-change rates when concentrations increase. Not only is the system expected to reduce energy consumption by 50 to 60 percent, but the indoor air quality of the lab space is also expected to improve as well.

LIGHTING DESIGN/RETROFIT

UC Santa Cruz: Physical Sciences Building Laboratory Automated Lighting Conversion Project The Laboratory Automated Lighting Conversion project at UC Santa Cruz undertook a critical evaluation of lighting control strategies to find the most suitable system for the Physical Sciences Building. The evaluation prioritized safety, cost-effectiveness, energy savings, maintenance needs, and non-proprietary technology. The evaluation resulted in the following upgrades: wireless lighting controls for lab spaces, wireless controls and daylighting sensors in hallways and atriums, and LED retrofits of recessed downlights. Computer modeling was used to optimize lighting levels and control strategies. In addition to reduced maintenance expenses and the ability to continually monitor the system, the project is anticipated to save more than 255,000 kWh annually and offset peak demand by 36 kW. On a budget of just over $200,000, the campus will save an estimated $34,520 annually, leading to a simple payback of less than five years.

CSU Dominguez Hills: Intelligent Lighting Controls The Intelligent Lighting Controls project at CSU Dominguez Hills installed smart sensor technology on individual fixtures that monitors the heat, motion, and light levels surrounding the specific fixture and turns the lights off when not needed. The sensor data is captured in a web-based platform that allows operators to make adjustments in the field and produce basic trending reports. The project provided research opportunities for Earth Science Students, which were showcased at Student Research Day, and spurred the vendor to donate 100 sensors and equipment to retrofit the building where the students held their class. Building occupants have been completely satisfied with the retrofit, which has reduced hallway energy use by 78% and office energy use by 50%. On a project budget of approximately $50,000, the campus is saving 100,248 kWh and $13,000 annually.

20 Creating Our Future Today WASTE REDUCTION

UC Santa Cruz: Loadman Real-Time Waste Metrics for Weight Based Recharge and Diversion UC Santa Cruz’s winning program transitioned waste collection and tracking from a system based on volume and frequency to one based on weight of use. Beginning in September 2012, the campus’s Physical Plant initiated a new resource recovery metrics system that integrates database software, Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, and sophisticated real-time scaling software to weigh refuse and recycling materials as they are collected by heavy machinery operators. After a year of testing and evaluation, the campus expanded the system for the entire fleet, developing a revolutionary weight-based service and billing system for campus clients. This new system appropriately incentivizes waste reduction towards a zero waste goal, insofar as the amount campus clients pay is based on the amount of landfill waste they generate.

CSU San Marcos: From Recycling and Waste Diversion to Source Reduction and Zero Waste CSU San Marcos has had a strong commitment to campus waste reduction for two decades, starting with a prevalent recycling program and slowly ramping up its source reduction. Waste reduction measures, such as replacing paper towels with hand driers in restrooms, providing water bottle filling stations, and providing all students with reusable mugs; annual events focused on waste; and a campus-wide paper reduction campaign, are contributing to the campus’s consistent 70% waste-diversion rate. The campus is striving for zero waste by 2025. CSU San Marcos has been recognized for its efforts with seven consecutive Grand Champion Recyclemania titles.

(Honorable Mention) UC Irvine – Zero Waste Events UC Irvine has improved their landfill waste diversion rate at large-scale events from less than 5% to an impressive 90%. At each event, trash receptacles are accompanied by recycling and composting bins, and student volunteers stand next to the bins helping attendees place their waste in the proper bin. Not only has this strategy drastically improved the campus’s waste diversion rate, but education about proper waste dis- posal reaches beyond the campus community to visitors such as alumni, parents, and prospective students. Attendees are now starting to expect zero-waste events on campus and need less guidance about which bin to use for their waste.

(Honorable Mention) San Francisco State University: Divestment from Fossil Fuels In 2013, San Francisco State became the first public university to partially divest from fossil fuels. Specifically, the campus Foundation divested its $51 million endowment from direct investments in companies with significant production or use of coal or tar sands. Students requested that the university divest from fossil fuels after learning about the divestment movement in their courses, reasoning that the environmental impacts of fossil fuel production and use do not align with the university’s mission. A special foundation committee was established to review the investment policy, identify all investments in fossil fuels companies, and make recommendations to the President and the board on guidelines for investing. The results of the movement included a plan of action for divestment of the funds consistent with the University’s values.

Sustainable Operations Day Thursday, June 19th, 2014 8:00am-4:00pm Park Boulevard, Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union

Sustainable Operations Day at the CHESC is an additi onal post-conference event dedicated specifically to the sustainable operations & maintenance of existing buildings. Although thoughtful design and construction processes are of enormous importance, operational practices, policies, and programs are likely to have the most profound effects on the long-term impacts generated by buildings. Unfortunately, the knowledge base around sustainable operations, and particularly implementing sustainable operations technologies and programs, has not matured as quickly as that around new construction. It is our hope to further augment that knowledge base within the California higher education community by bringing together practitioners and experts in the field to discuss technical and strategic issues around sustainable operations.

A focal point of this event will be identifying and capturing opportunities for energy conservation and efficiency. We anticipate three sessions that deal directly with energy issues: - Energy Auditing, Retrocommissioning, and Improving Energy Efficiency - Optimizing Ventilation of Existing Buildings - Energy Benchmarking - Finding Apples, Avoiding Oranges

56 Creating Our Future Today Each session will feature a technical expert co-presenting with a representative (student, staff, or faculty) from an educational institution. In addition, each session will directly connect the topic at hand to the relevant requirements in the LEEDTM for Existing Buildings Operations & Maintenance rating systems, a key driver of sustainable operations on university campuses in California.

It is our hope that these sessions will enhance campus-to-campus knowledge sharing around energy efficiency efforts, enable the technical skills and strategic vision to implement energy audits and conservation measures, and fundamentally demystify the process for all participants. We believe that peer-to-peer education is an effective way to help campuses overcome institutional and knowledge barriers to improving operations, and this workshop- will greatly facilitate that process.

This workshop is supported in part by the Associated Students Green Love Sustainability Commission, STEM, CREE, MV Automation, and E-Mon.

Joint UC/CSU Energy Managers’ Meeting 8:30am - 3:00pm Cuicacalli Seminar Room
