Energy Goals:Goal 1: By 2010, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 2000 levelsGoal 2: Create strategies to source energy from 25-100% from renewable Goal 3: Implement measurement and verification enhancementsAction: (Initial work began in Fall 2006 and was completed in December 2006) Continue to review indicator data and assess gapsin data collection. Submit recommendations to Sr. Management with budget request. Goal 4: On-going commissioning (of existing buildings for improving performance)Action: Assess current practices for in-house commissioning (survey project managers, building occupants) and improve practices (Included in SEP)Goal 5: Complete annual report for energy useAction: Each fiscal year, pull in data and update indicators. Reassess where improvements are needed and make recommendations to Sr. Management for funding line.

Landscape/Biotic EnvironmentAchievements (CCBER):�Compost green waste at nursery for potting soil�Use horse manure from stables in compost�Irrigate only during first year of establishment�Restoration Intern Training Program�Use only local genotypes of native plants, maintain native plant communities, reduce invasive species

�50% of vehicles are electric�Minimal use of gas powered machines�Minimal use of herbicides (only on bermuda grass, fennel, kikuyu grass)

�Providing support for food web, e.g. predators

Landscape/Biotic EnvironmentAchievements (FM):�Use reclaimed water for most all irrigation, and using irrigation levels appropriate to the plant material �Capture all green waste and sending it clean to be mulched by Marborg �25 of our Grounds staff have taken the CEC Green Gardener courseGOAL:� Our next big push will be better metrics on turf area mapping and assessing all our mowing machines for fuel efficiency on an acres cut per unit of diesel rating, now that diesel is so expensive. We will then further tune our mowing, and look at phasing out less efficient machines

Landscaping/Biotic Environment - CSP Short-term Goals

Summary Achieved Person ResponsibleEstimated

Costs

Estimated Date of

Completion

Goal #1

Collect data to determine baseline on: irrigation, energy usage, and chemical use. N

Lisa Stratton - CCBER; Jon Cook - Facilities, Dan Heedy - Housing

~ $10,000 per org. Mar-09

Goal #2

Support student and intern projects to evaluate sustainability of landscape practices. Initiated

CCBER funded a student to take a first stab at this. Some data not available

~$12,000 to expand the project

Goal #3

Identify opportunities to inform the campus community about current sustainable practices in landscaping. Initiated

CCBER has installed information signs about restoration on campus but not specifically about sustainability, FM & Housing have purple reclaimed water signs. Need to look for other ways to inform students, e.g. newspaper

~ 2,000 for a student intern

Goal #4

Initiate a project assessing the relative sustainability of native-dominated landscaping opportunities vs. traditional landscaping. Initiated

CCBER completed a poster on this with available data and presented it at Soc. For Ecological Restoration in 2006 and in their newsletter, but it needs more data (from goal 1) for broader publication.

Transportation Achievements:Bus Pass Subsidy

The combination of UCSB Subsidized MTD Bus Pass and High Fuel Prices have increased Faculty/Staff bus use by 69% between, June 2007 and June 2008UCSB Vanpool

UCSB's 11 vanpools alone reduce vehicle miles traveled by campus commuters by up to 3.2 Million miles per year.

The Vanpool program in turn reduces the consumption of gasoline by campus commuters by 128,000 gallons per year which would have created 2.3 Million pounds of Carbon Dioxide, a common green house gas.Fleet

Increase alt fuel vehicles in the fleet
