2016 California Higher Education Sustainability Conference 1 Welcome Letter

Dear California Higher Education Sustainability Conference Attendees,

On behalf of our faculty, staff, and nearly 39,000 students, welcome to California State University, Fullerton for the 2016 California Higher Education Sustainability Conference! We are honored to welcome our neighboring campuses and pleased to work collaboratively with each of you in an effort to lead the nation in innovative best practices in sustainability.

Cal State Fullerton is a diverse, student-centered academic community ranked first in California in conferring bachelor’s degrees to Latinos and fifth in the nation in graduating underrepresented students of color. Our efforts to build upon this success through equitable access to higher education is matched only by our goal to ensure the classrooms and campus at which our diverse students pursue their academic goals are energy efficient, sustainable, and ecologically-friendly.

Our Center for Sustainability in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences; the Engineering and Sustainability Services unit in the Division of Administration and Finance; and the rest of our innovative faculty, staff, and students are achieving remarkable results in this arena, as evidenced by Cal State Fullerton exceeding the 28 percent water usage reduction goal mandated by the governor and, of course, the Best Practice Awards we are being honored with at this conference.

I know every campus represented here will share similar points of pride, and together, we can and will build upon our collective success to ensure our institutions and the graduates they produce remain on the cutting edge of sustainability, thereby creating a brighter future for the planet and everyone who calls it home.

Sincerely,

Mildred García, Ed.D. President

16 2016 California Higher Education Sustainability Conference Living Laboratory: Turning Ideas Into Action 17 Program Labels

In past years, registrants have given the CHESC Steering Committee feedback that in- dicates 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 on tackling this challenge. With that in mind, we have developed a 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 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 already know. 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 widely used 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.

18 2016 California Higher Education Sustainability Conference Living Laboratory: Turning Ideas Into Action 19 Low-Hanging Fruit vs. Deep Green Campuses attending the conference range from stakeholders who are just starting their first sustainability project to stakeholders who 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.

18 2016 California Higher Education Sustainability Conference Living Laboratory: Turning Ideas Into Action 19 CSU Fullerton Sustainability Accomplishments

California State University, Fullerton, has been recognized for its ongoing and long-standing efforts in sustainability. It has received two Silver STARS rankings for campus sustainability efforts. As a regional leader in sustainability, our campus continues on its path toward a more sustainable tomorrow, demonstrated through projects and programs for its campus and community:

Green Buildings and Energy California State University, Fullerton has more than seven of its buildings either LEEDTM rated or equivalent, including the third phase of student housing, which was the first student housing complex in California to be awarded a Platinum LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The university owns and operates a solar array that generates 1.16 megawatts (MW) of power, along with an additional 4 MW in-construction to be online by December 2016 through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). Additionally, the campus operates a tri-generation plant that utilizes primary energy through high-pressure natural gas and makes secondary energy as electricity from a 4.6 MW turbine. Furthermore, the turbine’s waste heat is directed into two 1,310-ton absorption chillers to convert the heat to both, Heating Hot Water, and Chilled Water in order to heat and cool the campus buildings. The university recently converted 68,000 T8 fluorescent lamps to energy efficient LED’s which has yielded a savings of 4 million kWh and $500,000 of annual energy savings.

Waste Sustainable Waste Management Services strives to reduce the amount of waste generated through source reduction, recycling, reuse, and composting. This method of waste diversion generates a host of environmental, financial, and social benefits, including con- serving energy, reducing disposal costs, and reducing the amount of waste that enter landfills. CSU Fullerton is committed to doing its part in support of the state of Califor- nia’s target of diverting 75% of California’s waste from landfills by 2020.

20 2016 California Higher Education Sustainability Conference Living Laboratory: Turning Ideas Into Action 21 Water To help meet the needs of the state during the drought, the campus has saved more than forty million gallons of water; installed cellular-based water meters to measure water usage; and has replaced eleven acres of turf with drought-resistant plants and water-absorbing ground cover. Furthermore, CSU Fullerton has installed low-flow faucet aerators, which save a gallon per minute during use.

Outreach and Education Campus members and visitors can learn more about CSU Fullerton’s sustainability efforts via an online map, and participate by using water bottle refill stations, recycling bins, and EV charging stations throughout the campus. CSU Fullerton’s sustainability efforts do not stop there. More than 225 classes include lessons, training, and research in areas of sustainability. The University offers three undergraduate concentrations, two graduate programs, and certificate programs that are all sustainability-focused. CSU Fullerton has a number of community partnerships, including the Urban Agriculture Community-based Research Experience Program.

Campus as a Living Lab Living Lab provides students with opportunities to apply theory to real world situa- tions without having to leave campus. It not only strengthens problem-solving, but also reinforces the bond between the student and their campus while providing a greater understanding of and appreciation for the management and operation of a university campus. Partnerships in this program stretch across 6 colleges, involve more than 10 faculty in the second year of the program, and provide low-cost research opportunities to over 160 students.

Transportation One DC Fast Charging and eleven Level II Electric Vehicle Charging Ports are available on campus and are provided at no cost to students, faculty, and staff. Thirty-five additional Level II EV charging ports are planned to be installed on campus by the end of this year.

20 2016 California Higher Education Sustainability Conference Living Laboratory: Turning Ideas Into Action 21 2016 Higher Education Energy Efficiency and

Energy Efficiency In New Construction or Major Renovation

CSU East Bay, Student and Faculty Support CSU East Bay’s Student and Faculty Support building replaces an obsolete building with five stories of new office and conference facilities. The project is designed to be highly energy efficient, saving over $100,000 in annual energy costs and using 50% less energy than the Title-24 baseline, when including production from the rooftop photovoltaic system. During the demolition of the existing building and construction of the replacement, over 75% of construction waste was diverted from landfill. The project’s landscape design responds to its site by reducing disruption to natural water flows, and allowing for on-site infiltration of rainwater. The project reduced water use by 40% compared to the baseline, and is expected to achieve LEEDTM Gold Certification.

Presentation: Tuesday, June 28th, 2016, 10:15am - 11:30am, Ruby Gerontology Center, Room 13

UC Berkeley, Jacobs Hall The new Jacobs Hall at UC Berkeley houses collaborative, project-based educational spaces and aspires to be a symbol of the University’s commitment to sustainable innovation. The project team raised the bar in terms of energy performance, selecting an ambitious target of exceeding the AIA 2030 Commitment goal by using 90% less energy than the national median for university buildings. To meet this goal, the project integrates many energy efficient strategies: a narrow floor plan to improve daylight harvesting and natural ventilation, external shading, ceiling fans, cool roofing, and a 74kW photovoltaic array that is expected to provide 58% of the building’s energy requirement. An additional unusual strategy is to utilize surplus hot and chilled water when needed for space conditioning from an adjacent building.

34 2016 California Higher Education Sustainability Conference Living Laboratory: Turning Ideas Into Action 35 Students and the Path to Carbon Neutrality Students have a vital role to play in helping the UC system reach its goal of carbon neutrality. At UC Riverside in particular, over 30% of our CO2 emissions come from commuting. As a result, students will have to make changes if we want to reach true neutrality. How do students feel about this goal, and what kinds of changes are they willing to make to reach it? If the University is serious about keeping its commitment to carbon neutrality, the answers to these questions will need to be addressed and students will need to see how and why they can make a difference.

Improved “Business As Usual” Forecasting in Climate Action Plans As a Climate Action Planning Fellow for UC Irvine, Kimberly Duong has focused on improving the forecasting for future carbon emissions in a "business-as-usual" scenario. A proxy for additional greenhouse gas emissions is the additional square footage of new buildings on the campus. Duong has weighed different categories of new buildings based on their energy demands and propagated these results into the future. There will also be an ensemble of carbon emission scenarios based on likelihood of future building development as time goes on. These methods are applied to the UC Irvine main campus, but can be translated to other campuses as well.

34 2016 California Higher Education Sustainability Conference Living Laboratory: Turning Ideas Into Action 35 Warmer Climatic Conditions Affect Squash Growth, Pollination, and Production Climate warming is projected to increase over the current century. Among the many ecological changes expected from increased warming, altered conditions have the potential to disrupt mutualisms between flowering plants and their pollinators, and in turn, could negatively affect plant reproduction. We simulated climate warming on field-grown squash (Cucurbita pepo) using passive, open-top heating chambers. We monitored the effect of warming on squash growth and pollination by generalist (Apis mellifera) and specialist (Peponapis pruinosa) bee species. The chambers significantly elevated temperatures in all experimental groups. Overall, bee visits per flower per minute were significantly higher in the control groups.

Measuring the Breathing of the Biosphere - Climate and Land Use Agriculture, deforestation, and land use change make up more than a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions but are poorly constrained; it is difficult to measure the con- tinuous exchange of gases and energy between the heterogeneous land surface and the atmosphere. Using micrometeorological methods, the Berkeley Biometeorology Lab is working to characterize how wetland restoration of organic-rich peat soils in the Sacra- mento-San Joaquin Delta has the potential to sequester carbon and reduce GHG emissions. By incentivizing low-emission land use management with market mechanisms like California’s cap-and-trade, ecosystems have the potential to be an integral part of the climate change solution.

Carbon Pricing at an Institutional Level to Achieve Carbon Neutrality Several states, institutions, and organizations, domestically and abroad, have instituted a variety of pricing mechanisms such as a carbon tax and carbon cap-and-trade. Carbon pricing holds emitters responsible for not growing emissions, as well as for reducing use gradually over time. Pecuniary incentives and penalties for emissions reductions and increases, respectively, serve as an encouragement mechanism. Carbon cap-and-trade places a cap on carbon emissions, provides emitters an allowance of carbon, and establishes a market to trade carbon allowances. A carbon price traditionally imposes a fee on emitting one metric ton of carbon. At an institutional level, a smartly designed carbon-pricing scheme borrows from both methods.

Thole-type Model of Clathrate Structures A Thole-type potential of methane hydrates, which will give researchers a cheap tool to safely study these interesting materials, will be presented. The potential will contain polarizability components and is able to accurately predict experimental properties of methane hydrates. Methane hydrates are part of a class of substances known as clath- rates in which guest molecules are trapped in a lattice. These structures are seen as a form of alternative energy due to their ability to be ignited; however, methane, a potent greenhouse gas, will be released upon burning. This potential will hopefully help reduce accidental emissions due to experiments.

Spatially Heterogeneous Chlorine Incorporation in Organic-Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells Spatial heterogeneities in the elemental makeup of thin film photovoltaic devices are pivotal in determining device efficiency. In this study, the presence of chlorine is posi- tively identified in perovskite films synthesized with Cl-containing precursors and as an impurity in some films synthesized with Cl-free precursors, by means of non-destructive synchrotron-based nanoprobe X-ray fluorescence (Nano-XRF). Using Nano-XRF, we reveal the presence of chlorine in methylammonium lead iodide perovskite films down to the ppm detection limit, the manipulation of chlorine content by perovskite precursor chemistry, and its microscopic heterogeneity with better than 100 nm spatial resolution.

Students Feeding Students: A Food Recovery Model Every Sunday, UCLA students glean excess produce that would otherwise go to waste from local farmers markets in order to feed food-insecure Bruins. Swipe Out Hunger volunteers glean 200-1200 pounds of produce per week in partnership with a local nonprofit, of that approximately 100-400 pounds are given to UCLA students. The produce is dropped off at three points: the campus food closet, a student food-hub at a local church, and an off-campus housing facility for graduate and post-doctoral families. From October 2015 to April 2016, food-insecure students have received over 3,500 pounds of fresh produce through this gleaning program.

Assessing Climate Models' Skill in Predicting Chill Hours for California This project investigates whether climate models with good skills in predicting global metrics (such as global average temperature) are also good predictors of specific metrics of local climate that are relevant to fruit and nut farmers in California. The research evaluates the skill of 30 global climate models in predicting the metric of chill hours in California. The project also analyzes whether discarding models with low skill, leads to significant changes in the projections of future climate. These results would be a step forward in efforts to provide farmers with the best available climate information for their specific local needs.

Food Insecurity May Predict Mortality for People Infected with Ebola Virus Disease Future Ebola outbreak containment strategies will benefit from inclusion of asymptomatic infection in Ebola-related studies. A serosurvey (a screening test of the blood serum of persons at risk to determine susceptibility to a particular disease) in Kono District, Si- erra Leone, of 223 exposed persons demonstrated 14 unreported Ebola infections which meant there were 48 Ebola infections (36 symptomatic and 12 asymptomatic; 20 alive and 28 dead). Food insecurity was reported by a group of people who shared meals. A cluster-adjusted analysis was performed on the food insecurity. People with moderate or severe food insecurity were not at risk of infection but were at risk of mortality (p=0.10). Larger studies should examine the risk of food insecurity on Ebola-related mortality.

Food Insecurity Associated with Increased HIV Viral Load in US Women Food insecurity is common in people living with HIV and is associated with poor health outcomes. Women with HIV may be particularly susceptible to food insecurity. We used Tobit regression models to examine the association between food insecurity and HIV-1 viral load, adjusting for demographic and clinical variables in a cross-sectional study of 1,251 US women living with HIV. Almost half (42%) of participants reported food insecurity. Food insecurity was associated with a doubling of HIV-1 viral load, a marker of poor clinical and population outcomes, in a multi-site study of women with HIV in the US. Future research is needed to study the impact of food-insecurity interventions on health outcomes of women with HIV.

Designing an Urban Scale Student Farm to Address Food Insecurity The UC Santa Barbara Edible Campus Program is designing a farm from the ground up to distribute food to the campus food pantry (Associated Students Food Bank). This project was done in close collaboration with campus Environmental Health and Safety staff to ensure that food grown could be broadly distributed to students in need. The farm design also uses innovative strategies to integrate educational areas into the farm without significantly reducing production capacity. For example, a shade structure covered in edible plants, will produce 3,000 pounds of produce in a year and seat a group of 20 students underneath. The farm aims to engage students as leaders of their local food system and address food insecurity.

The Potential for Local Food Systems in the US Local food systems may facilitate agroecological practices that conserve nutrient, energy, and water resources. Here I estimate the upper potential for all existing US crop- lands to meet total US food demand through local food networks. My spatially explicit approach simulates the years 1850 through 2000 and accounts for a wide range of diets, food waste, population distributions, cropland areas, and crop yields. I find large current potential for meeting as much as 90% of the national food demand. Additionally, I explore possible farm-community relationships for recycling urban waste and wastewater for fertilizer and irrigation in California.

Campus Food Policy How do those in charge of food landscape understand the relationship between economic, social and environmental factors within the campus food system? This research explores the role of campus policy in achieving the economic, human, and environmental health goals of the UC campuses. It aims to encourage discussion of the tradeoffs that every food system has to make. Different goals—access, affordability, cultural value, profitability, environmental sustainability, food justice and nutrition—can conflict as well complement each other. To understand variables influencing the food system Dr. David A. Cleveland and RA Genesis Gilroy delve into exploratory research of knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding campus food goals, landscapes and policies as well as assumptions and values foundational to those goals.
