1 Campus Housing Energy Efficiency Retrofit (CHEER) Program California Lutheran University Strategic Energy Innovations Presenters: Mark Jacobsen Danny McKnight Morgan King

2 CHEER Program Overview Help reduce energy waste on California s college and university housing and dining facilities. Provide professional grade efficiency analyses. Recruit and train students and staff to conduct energy audits and basic lighting upgrades. Support the campus to envision and realize sustainable living demonstration projects. Provide financial incentives, training and partner outreach to make these student-staff led efforts a success.

3 CHEER Program Objectives Work to establish strong relationship with key campus partners. Provide Students with the skills and knowledge to generate energy savings. Identify and implement energy efficiency measures. Increase awareness of energy efficiency and environmental protection across the campus community.

4 Program Objectives Work to establish strong relationship with key campus partners Contacted Facilities Management. Contacted Environmental Science Department in effort to locate interested students to take part in survey and internship opportunity. Contacted student housing department.

5 Program Objectives Provide Students with skills and knowledge to generate energy savings Trained interns in energy auditing /reporting and CFL installations.

6 Program Objectives Identify and implement energy efficiency measures Conducted energy audits in residence hall and houses. Replaced incandescent bulbs with new CFLs.

7 Program Objectives Increase awareness of energy efficiency and climate protection across the campus community. Residence Life communicates to students via and web page prior to returning to school. CFL giveaway during student orientation. Door-to-door CFL giveaway. Information sheet hand-out about energy conservation and CFL recycling.

8 Increase Awareness Campus wide Collaboration Residence Life communicates to new and returning students via and web page to leave incandescent bulbs home when returning to campus for beginning of school.

9 Increase Awareness - Engaging Students CFL giveaway during student orientation Door-to-Door CFL giveaway after move-in. Handed out information sheet hand-out about energy conservation

10 Project ramp-down Final information gathering from interns, which included the tracking of the number of CFLs installed as well as the amount given to students during giveaway efforts. Findings were shared with campus leadership and were utilized in the comprehensive energy audit report later developed by QuEST. Return of unused CFLs. CLU web page release.

12 Student Perspective Reflection on CHEER program The first sustainability effort on campus involving students. Organization and program planning. Personal growth Provided valuable work and life experience.

13 CLU sustainability efforts since CHEER Student workers responsible for the collection of office recyclables.

14 CLU sustainability efforts since CHEER Waste reduction through recycling of metal and green waste that is collected during Facilities maintenance operations.

15 CLU sustainability efforts since CHEER Installation of centrally controlled irrigation controllers that automatically track the weather and adjust irrigation schedules accordingly.

16 CLU sustainability efforts since CHEER Campus sustainability study conducted by Three Squares, Inc. The goal of the project was to define objectives for the implementation of sustainable practices and the cultivation of a culture of sustainability throughout the campus community.

17 CLU sustainability efforts since CHEER Waste reduction through cardboard recycling during student move-in, in Fall. Formation of Sustainability Council involving faculty, staff and students. Campus energy consumption that has declined, while the number of campus facilities has increased. Removal of bottled water dispensers on campus. Free refillable plastic water bottle hand-outs to incoming students to reduce disposable water bottle waste. Many others, and more to come
