In the beginning there was (some) recycling. But there was no zero-waste target or green-department

certification process. No Cal Dining sustainable-seafood certification or Green Initiative Fund. No climate-

action, bicycle or water-use reduc-tion plan. No greenhouse-gas inven-tory. No energy-

incentive pro-gram, Power Agents or LEED-

certified build-ings.

The list goes on. There was no campus Energy Office and no Office of Sustainability. No wa-

terless urinals or water-bottle refill stations. And, of course, there was no

annual sustainability re-port.

All that has changed since the

launch 10 years ago of the Chancellor’s Advisory Com-mittee on Sustainability,

which many mark as the beginning of a concerted

2013 CACS Susta inabi l i ty Summit Wrap

“I can’t think of our work over the last ten years without recognizing

the efforts of our stu-dents…they form groups, fundraise, teach DeCals,

intern on campus projects, and are even the source of

funding for The Green Initiative Fund, which has supported over 80 campus

projects and 165 student internships with $1.3 mil-lion in student fees.”

Chancellor Birgeneau also highlight-ed the many efforts of staff that green our opera-

tions and buildings and faculty that teach and research

in support of the environment. At

the conclusion the Chancellor an-nounced this year’s

Green Fund Grant recipients and (continued...)

On Earth Day, the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Sustainabil-

ity (CACS) held the 10th Annual Sustainability Summit. This summit celebrated the campus sustainability

achievements over the last decade and looked to the future.

A highlight of the day was the key-note address provided by Dr. Mike Biddle, plastics pio-

neer and co-founder of MBA Polymers. His inspiring talk—

”Creating a Circular Economy with Plas-tics” - provided both

a glimpse at the complex issues associated with plastic waste and real solutions that

he has developed.

Dr, Biddle started MBA over 20

years ago—literally from his garage. He has since grown his company to what is now the world’s leading

multi-national company re-covering plastics from end-of-life durable

goods, such as computers, electron-ics, business equipment, applicances,

automobiles and now mu-nicipal solid wastes. MBA has over 300 million

pounds per year of pro-cessing capacity in Europe,

China and the US to turn waste into plastics for use right back into the same

type of products from which they came. Some of the

largest manufacturers in the world use MBA’s plastics to replace virgin plastics in their

new products.

If you missed his talk – it is highly recommended – watch the video.

As this was Chancellor Birgeneau’s last summit in his role as campus

leader, he spent time reflecting on the outstanding work and accom-plishments Berkeley has made in

sustainability – particularly those of students.

2013 Susta inabi l i ty Award & Green Fund Grant Recip ients

The new Green Fund Grant Projects

include:

“Spring Cleaning in Campus Closets” - Ron

Holmstrom, Space Management and Capital Programs. This project will improve the utiliza-tion of space on campus through a “Campus

Sustainable Cleanup” effort. This outreach pro-gram will help departments free up underutilized space and repurpose it by coordinating the recy-

cling and reuse of un-used materials that are taking up space.

“Sigma Pi L.E.D.’s the Way to Energy Sav-

ings” - Garrett Vogel, a second year student in Conservation and Resource Studies. This initia-tive will reduce water and electricity use in the

fraternity house by installing energy-efficient devices and materials. Sigma Pi aims to reduce

water consumption by 15% and will install over 30 LED lightbulbs and insulation in their base-ment.

“’Swag’ Bags for Bicyclists” - Greg Haet, Associate Director, Environmental Protection and Chair, Campus Bicycle Committee. This

program will provide sustainable promotional and safety items to hundreds of cyclists at the two campus Energizer Stations during this year’s

Bay Area-wide Bike-to-Work Day on May 9th.

“Fitting Plant to Place: Site-Specific Resto-

ration Planning on Strawberry Creek” - Dylan Chapple, PhD student in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management. This grant will

fund the work of two undergraduate students to perform site preparation, collect planting data, acquire native

plants from local nurseries, and propa-gate plants in the Strawberry Creek Native Plant Nursery as part of the

campus effort to restore the water-shed.

And this year’s

Sustainability Awards go to:

Arpad Horvath,

UC Berkeley Pro-fessor in the Engi-

neering and Project Management Pro-gram and in the

Energy, Civil Infra-structure and Cli-mate Program in the Department of Civil and

Environmental Engineering. Not only is Profes-sor Horvath’s research advancing the under-standing of climate impacts and engineering and

teaching students about cutting edge methods, he has also been a contributor to campus sus-tainability efforts for the last ten years. Arpad

was a founding faculty member on CACS and the Cal Climate Action Partnership (CalCAP).

He continues to be a faculty leader in campus sustainability, engaging his students in campus efforts and providing expertise as the campus set

its next greenhouse gas emissions target.

Kira Stoll, Sustainability Manager. Kira has

been a sustainability champion her entire career

at Berkeley, first as the campus Transportation Planner and now in the Office of Sustainability. Kira has been an active member of CACS since

the beginning and Co-Chaired the committee in 2011. She is both a big-picture thinker and detail-oriented, contributing to campus-wide initia-

tives while also producing results and accom-plishments day-to-day. Some successes this award is recognizing her for include co-authoring

Berkeley’s first bicycle plan and zero waste plan, managing Berkeley’s climate inventories and reporting, producing the monthly Bright Green

News, and mentoring countless students.

Monica Harnoto, UC Berkeley B.S. Environ-

mental Sciences, spring 2013. Monica is never

merely content with the status quo and con-stantly inspires and motivates colleagues to think of new and innovative ways to improve sustaina-

bility in Cal Dining. One of Monica’s most nota-ble projects has been Chews to Reuse -- a reus-able to-go container program in dining halls.

Before Monica created this program, the dining halls provided patrons with compostable to-go containers made from sugarcane plant fibers.

Starting out as a pilot, the program has now been expanded to all dining commons, in large

part due to Monica’s strategic implementation.

Nature Village: Nature Village is a multidis-

ciplinary and multicultural group of University

Village residents, students, staff, and campus sustainability groups that work together to pro-mote sustainable living practices at the Universi-

ty Village. In its inaugural year Nature Village launched three programs including the Green

Family Program –with 50 families participating in pilots for energy and water saving tools like low flow shower heads and racks for air drying

clothes. In the long term, Nature Village seeks to create a replicable model for institutionalizing sustainability in student family residential units,

particularly for the UC system and more broadly for universities in the U.S.

Kudos to Ruben Meija and Trevor Oda for all of their efforts to recruit and support the offices in Barrows Hall! One participant notes that "I was

able to get rid of stuff that had been sitting around for last 20 years.”

If you’re interested in learning more, con-tact Ron Holmstrom at rholmst@berkeley.edu.

A newly formed collaboration launched during Earth Week aims to improve the use of space on

campus through a “Campus Sustainable Cleanup” effort. The program will help departments free up underutilized space

and find other uses for that space by clearing

out un-used materials and coordinating their recycling and reuse.

Led by Ron Holmstrom, Space and Capital Resources, the team also includes Overstock and Surplus, Mov-

ing Services, ReUSE, Campus Recycling and Re-fuse Services, Records Retention Services, CAL Shredding, EH&S, and Mail Services – basically all

of the departments who can help units get rid of unwanted items and arrange collection or drop-

offs. In this initial phase, these services are pro-vided at no cost to the units participating, thanks

to funding from Space and Capital Resources and a CACS Green Fund grant.

During the Earth Week launch in Barrows

Hall, approximately 60% of the assignable square feet were included, with participants

from the Beatrice Bain Research Group, Gender and Women Studies, African Ameri-can Studies, Ethnic Studies, Political Science,

Sociology, KALX, Center for Race and Gen-der, and the Energy and Resources Group.

And the results are

impressive:

games, and trash talkers. They also distributed

the Haas Green Event Toolkit at this event.

Haas has installed a hydration station in Cheit

Hall, as well as a bottle refilling station in the

FIFO Café and staff and faculty lounges. Refill

stations are in each of the three buildings of the

Haas School and available for use by students,

staff, and faculty. Haas got additional points for

hosting other sustainability-related events, like e-

waste collection and freecycle events, having a

shoreline cleanup event, and a virtual food drive.

Read about two more green departments –

Procurement Services and EH&S – in our next

newsletter.

The Haas School of Business is the most recent

certified green department. Haas is only our

third academic partner to complete the process,

and is the first department to have students as

active members of their Green Team – and we

want to congratulate everyone at Haas who

worked to achieve the certification!

Haas certified 20 points to attain the highest (or

Green) level. Their initiatives include having

multiple scanners for employees, as well as in-

stalling the new recycling signage throughout

their building. Impressively, Haas also offers

composting in five locations: the staff lounge,

PhD student lounge, faculty lounge, Wells Fargo

conference room, and FIFO Cafe.

Haas certified a green event in 2012 called

“Beyond Yourself Consumption Function” spon-

sored by the MBA Net Impact Club. This event

was for current and prospective students, staff,

and faculty. It included sustainable food, wine/

beer, an eco-fashion show, a bike-powered

blender for smoothies, compost and recycling

See the google map of refill stations on campus in publically-accessible locations.

You can also take the “I Heart Tap Water” Pledge here!

At Cal there are a lot of reasons to love tap water. It’s sourced from Sierra

Nevada snowmelt, it’s clean, it tastes good, it’s sustainable, and it’s free! However, two barriers still drive stu-

dents to purchase single use water bottles -- lack of knowledge that our

tap water is safe and tastes great, and access to tap water sources that make it easy to refill a water container.

Those barriers are starting to fade with several more water bottle refill stations installed throughout the campus. TGIF

has funded new refill stations in Sproul Hall (first floor by the visitor center), Wheeler

Hall (first floor near room 130), and Kroeber Hall (by the Hearst Museum of Anthropolo-gy). Several departments have added refill

stations including locations in Barrows Hall ground floor by room 44 and Hearst

Gymnasium next to the west entrance.

TGIF also funded bottle fillers installed on existing ADA-compliant water foun-

tains, a cost-effective solution allowing more installations in more buildings. You can find bottle fillers on fountains in the

Linda’s successor, Cliff Lob-beregt (pictured right), joined the School of Optometry in

September 2012. Cliff has taken the baton from Linda

with an incredible drive and passion for saving energy.

Tucked away behind Wurster and Hertz Music Hall is the School of

Optometry’s Minor Hall and Minor Addition. The School has pioneered research in many areas of optome-

try including cornea physiology and contact lens development since its establishment

in 1923. Although it is highly recognized as one of the top optometry schools in the country, it should also be recognized for its efforts in sus-

tainability and energy efficiency. The actions of both the out-going and in-coming facilities man-

agers have created some substantial energy sav-ings for both Minor Hall and Minor Addition.

Out-going facility manager Linda Schmidt has been proactive in following up with the Energy Office on Strategic Energy Plan (SEP) projects in

both buildings. This has resulted in energy sav-ings through actions such as repairing economiz-

ers. She has also implemented a "no personal space heater" policy (except for the winter months in select cases). Linda has set a great

precedent for future facility managers by taking

Even little stickers can make a big difference.

Following up on the myPower report from

March, we’re happy to say that the energy re-

duction noted in Unit 1

after 1,100 light switch

shut off reminder

stickers that were

placed during winter

break are showing

persistent reductions.

After Spring Break another 1,000 stickers were

put up in Unit 2 and over summer break an

additional 400 will be

added on the Clark

Kerr Campus.

As another semester is coming to an end, myPow-

er now is tallying up 93 buildings (plus 15 individ-ually sub-meters in Stanley Hall) with live dashboards and a new mobile-

friendly site showcasing 58 buildings. It’s now easier than ever to look up a

building’s real time energy use on the go.

Additionally, during the past couple of

months, with the help of building man-agers and enthusiastic occupants, the myPower team has been able to audit

even more buildings and provide feed-back as to how each building can reduce its en-ergy use. By both analyzing the building’s energy

dashboard – assessing spikes and anomalies – and by observing occupant behavior and habits, the myPower survey team has been able to give

tailored energy-saving suggestions. For example, myPower recommended that the Tang Center

(UHS) consolidate lesser used refrigerators, upgrade appliances for newer more energy efficient models, and consider

using vending machine misers which could reduce costs by up to 46%.

The buildings myPower has recently surveyed include the Silver Space Lab, the Department of Linguistics

(Dwinelle Hall), Summer Sessions, Tang Center, University Relations, the Oper-ational Excellence Program Office,

Warren Hall, and the Haas School of Business. All building surveys conducted thus far can be seen here. If you’re interested to sched-

ule an energy survey in your area, just email us at myPower@berkeley.edu.
