reating a Culture of Sustainability

Sustainability is…

“Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

(Brundtland Commission, 1987)

Strategies since fall 2014:

Sustainability was included in the Vision, Goals and Objectives of the Strategic Plan,

approved by the Board of Trustees, fall 2014.

Discussions regarding Sustainability became more robust within the Integrated

Environmental Planning Committee (IEPC), home base for decision-making within the

college-wide governance system.

Established the Sustainability Collaborative in March 2015; this group has a more

informal structure and provides the opportunity for more students and staff to give

input and be a part of the conversation.

Hosted the first ever District Sustainability Summit on March 6, 2015. Over 25 college

staff and student leaders attended and drafted the GreenPrint report for Achieving 18

objectives by 2018. This document, presented to Dr. Chong on March 13, 2015, laid

out a path for the next three years on priorities for Sustainable practices, facilities

and culture.

Advocated for creating a new Presidential Advisory Committee for Sustainability &

Resilience. The purpose of this committee will be to address the five (5) spheres of

Sustainable SRJC: 1) Education & Culture, 2) Economics & Social Equity, 3)

Transportation & Access, 4) Energy, Waste & Water, and 5) Facilities & Grounds.

Selection of Gensler as Facilities Master Planner; now working for the best use of

Measure H bond funds for sustainable facilities, features, infrastructure and

landscapes.

Progress since fall 2014:

Created a buzzzzzz!

Baseline metrics for environmental sustainability have been created. Most are

set in fiscal year 2013-2014. Areas for which baselines have been established

include: energy, water, waste.

Energy: Baseline 2013-14 academic year – Electricity: 14,437,088 kWh,

Natural Gas: 616,789 Therms

Total Energy Usage (Electricity and Gas combined): 110926 MMBTU’s *(1

MMBTU = 1,000,000 BTUs)

Water: District-Wide Water Usage 2013-14 academic year – 45,894,746

gallons (only potable water)

Waste: Data is available and being finalized and compared with state

fillings for more accurate metric.

Transportation: Still needs to be developed.

Carbon Footprint: Scope 2 (see description below) Carbon Footprint to be

completed in spring 2016.

Petaluma Garden with Daily Acts

Progress continued…

Establishment of the Leaders Academy for Sustainable Community: Resilience

Rising. This is an innovative project that partners with our local Leadership

Institute for Ecology and the Economy. First cohort of 40 is scheduled to launch

summer 2016.

Sustainable Procurement: Environmentally Preferred Purchasing Policy is being

reviewed by IEPC. Standards need to be established. Metric can be % of goods

purchased that meet sustainability standards.

Numerous sustainable equipment projects have been launched including water

bottle filling stations on both campuses, bike repair stations on both campuses.

Prop 39 LED retrofits; 496 total in the parking structure; data logger shows that we

reduced KW use by 50% in the Parking structure; this also supports the college’s

goals related to safety and security.

Water use mitigation strategies; Carl Dobson

Developed the first draft of a Sustainability Action Plan using the State’s community

college template. It includes energy, waste, water, transportation, built

environment, land use, and education.

Progress continued…

In the process of becoming an official “Tree Campus USA”

Free student ridership on Sonoma County Transit (SCT) for 2015 and 2016

Numerous presentations, workshops and forums to promote cultural shift.

Have moved towards zero-waste large events including Lumafest and Day Under the

Oaks. Our goal is 90% diversion at both of these events.

Branded the College’s Sustainability initiatives

Current 2016 Priorities:

Work collaboratively with Gensler & Kirsten to develop FMP

Built Environment (buildings, roads, infrastructure): What will be the standards

for all new construction, retrofits and infrastructure design. i.e. Living Building

Challenge? LEED? Other?

Advocate for new Sustainability Committee

Finalize baseline metrics for energy, water, waste & transportation; calculate

carbon footprint for District

Develop target reduction goals now that we have baseline data; cost savings?

Location for Office of Sustainability Programs

Focus on poverty issues: hunger, shelter, dignity, jobs, access to resources

Survey use of sustainability principles in curriculum; develop baseline

Develop Climate Action Plan; align with state/federal mandates

Current 2016 Priorities continued:

Finish writing Sustainability Master Plan

Host 2nd Sustainability Summit and revise GreenPrint document

Develop staffing plan

Composting? Solar Docking Stations?

Get revised EPP approved by BOT

Work with local mass transit on free or reduced ridership plan; includes

SMART, SoCo Transit, SR City Transit, Petaluma City Transit

Fundamental Considerations

Environmental QualityWhen environmental quality is degraded, the resources that ultimately support us become depleted and less productive.

Economic VitalityWithout economic vitality people have no way of accessing goods and services necessary to make the most of their lives.

Equal Opportunity (Equity)Equal opportunity opposes the notion of established class structures and "down groups" that never seem able to fully access the opportunities a society has to offer.

Acronyms & TermsBritish Thermal Unit

BtuKbtuMbtu

The British thermal unit (BTU or Btu) is

a traditional unit of work equal to about

1055 joules. It is the amount of work

needed to raise the temperature of one

pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit

(Physical analogue: one four-inch wooden

kitchen match consumed completely

generates approximately 1 BTU).

Acronyms & TermsKilowatt Hours

kWhMWhGWh

The kilowatt hour (symbol kWh, kW. · h,

or kW h) is a derived unit of energy equal

to 3.6 megajoules. If the energy is being

transmitted or used at a constant rate

(power) over a period of time, the total

energy in kilowatt-hours is the product of

the power in kilowatts and the time in

hours.

1 kWh = 3.412 kBtus

Acronyms & TermsTherms

thermThe therm (symbol thm) is a non-SI unit of heat energy equal to 100,000 British thermal units (BTU). It is approximately the energy equivalent of burning 100 cubic feet (often referred to as 1 CCF) of natural gas.

1 therm = 1000 kBtus

Acronyms & TermsGHGs etc

GHGCO2eGWP

A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.

Carbon dioxide equivalent CO2edescribing different greenhouse gases in a common unit. For any quantity and type of greenhouse gas, CO2e signifies the amount of CO2 which would have the equivalent global warming impact.

A quantity of GHG can be expressed as CO2e by multiplying the amount of the GHG by its GWP. E.g. if 1kg of methane is emitted, this can be expressed as 25kg of CO2e (1kg CH4 * 25 = 25kg CO2e).
