1 Save Money! Be Green! Bettye Williams, C.P.M. October 18, 2012 Sustainability Not about the planet; it is about us Mars has no people Mars seems happy If Earth had no people Earth would be happy Probably happier Goals Carbon Neutral by 2025 other than Transportation Carbon Neutral by 2035 including Transportation Total World Domination 1

2 Carbon Neutral - Energy $70M Energy Performance Contract 15.3 MW of solar, 19.8 this year No cost to ASU for solar Power Purchase Agreements Carbon Neutral - Transport Subsidize 1.7M one-way trips per year Free shuttles connect four campuses Car-sharing Program Alternative fuel vehicles Biodiesel Station under construction Student run bicycle co-op Hummingbird Energy Organic waste to energy via Biogasifier Teaching and Research facility First of its kind 2

3 Airlight Energy Fuel is air Storage of solar generated power Zero Solid Waste Recycling Food/Compost Reusables Durable goods Waste Diversion Mall Containers Resource Sharing (All Campuses) Other Diversion Projects 3

4 Active Engagement Principled Practice Principled Practice All new buildings LEED Silver 1 Platinum, 7 Gold, 5 Silver 14 tons composted per day 22% food purchased in 150 miles Print uses 100% recycled paper Green Purchasing Policy Values Based Standards Policy 4

5 Green Purchasing - Energy All computers EPEAT Gold Recycled copier supplies Cut devices but add technology Meet Energy Star, or in upper 25% Suppliers take back packaging Vehicles use bio-diesel Most efficient lighting No panel lights, Energy Miser Green Purchasing - Water Most water efficient available Waterless urinals low flow faucets etc. Converted to filtered water and use personal water bottles Green Purchasing - Toxins Cleaning products biodegradable, phosphate-free, and citrus-based Custodians use Green Seal or EcoLogo certified products Surfactants and detergents biodegradable and phosphate-free Vacuums meet Green Label Testing Program No lead or mercury Integrated pest management 5

6 Green Purchasing Bio Biodegradable and compostable plastics ASTM standards for plastic paper coatings and for compostables Biobased fuels encouraged Paper, paper products, and construction products made from non-wood plant products Green Purchasing - Bio Forest Stewardship Council certified wood and paper Reused wood encouraged Green Purchasing - Recycle 30% Post Consumer Waste paper mandated, 100% optional Recycled asphalt, concrete, aggregate base when practicable Reclaimed stone and brick Parking products with highest Post Consumer Waste content Preference for durable, reusable, or refillable products 6

7 Green Purchasing - Boxes Reusable, recyclable, or compostable packaging Minimization of packaging is encouraged. Vending plastic bottles an issue $108K/year to eliminate Plastic spills less Half full when recycled Green Purchasing - Buildings All new construction/renovations incorporate green features LEED Silver is the minimum No volatile organic compounds or or formaldehyde. Carpet firms must have approved carpet recycling plan. No chloroflourocarbon and halon. Green Purchasing - Grounds Sustainable landscape management, including integrated pest management, drip irrigation, composting, local mulch, etc. Landscape structures of recycled content Permeable surfaces encouraged Low water plants required 7

8 Social Justice - Services Equal Employment Opportunity Freedom of association, collective bargaining Meet immigration law Wages, hours, leaves, child labor Health and Safety No forced labor No harassment or abuse No controlled substances No weapons Social Justice - Services Fair wages and benefits Environmental responsibility Employee education and training Employee languages Grievance process Social Justice - Construction Health insurance part-time and dependents Must hire Arizona residents 10% apprentices on the job 1% of payroll to a recognized apprenticeship program Include diversity businesses Must report on above before getting paid 8

9 Measuring Green You buy food with a nutrition label Why can t you buy products with a green label? Measuring Green Category Sustainability Profiles, shoes Product Sustainability Declaration, Riley Runners, Model 1502 Strategy Use data to identify opportunities to reduce CO 2 Calculator developed at ASU and the University of Arkansas Will calculate CO 2 impact of actions Greener standards and specifications Already done for goods and services Modify contracts at first opportunity Supplier Sustainability Survey Required in all solicitations 9

10 Strategy Review and adopt eco-certifications GreenSeal and EcoLogo Use others rather than nothing Increase weight of sustainability in evaluations Total impact of the buying decision Already look at supplier operations Strategy Train green choices, initiatives, best practices Align with other sustainability training efforts Coordinated publicity effort Monitor P-Card spend for sustainability Now monitor financial compliance Would monitor green compliance Strategy Monitor green performance of contractors Set green expectations Solicit contractor promises Require contractor measurement and reporting Already use Supplier Sustainability Survey in selection Obtain similar data during resulting contracts 10

11 Cost Energy performance contract paid from energy savings over 11 years Only pay for solar power, will be a savings Bus and rail passes from Parking fees Free shuttle busses from Parking fees Car-sharing program no cost Alt fuel vehicles may cost slightly more Bio-diesel station paid from sales Cost New technology paid by purchasing power output Buy compost rather than fertilizer Recycling saves landfill fees, but we pay for infrastructure No extra cost for LEED certification Recycled paper costs slightly more EPEAT Gold computers same price Copiers and printers same price Cutting copiers saves money Cost Energy Star same price Suppliers remove packaging is no cost Bio-diesel costs slightly more Most efficient lighting saves energy No cost for efficient vending machines Waterless urinals installed on renovation Water filtration systems improve recycling rates 11

12 Cost Green cleaning products same cost Green Label vacuums same cost Integrated Pest Management needs slightly more labor cost Biodegradable and compostable products cost slightly more Bio-diesel costs more than diesel, at present FSC certified wood costs more Cost 30% PCW paper costs more Recycling site materials costs slightly more than landfill PCW parking products same cost Recyclable packaging same cost Recyclable carpet tiles save money Alternatives to VOC products same cost Green landscaping saves life cycle cost Cost Social justice policies for services same cost Social justice policy for construction costs 1-2% more for labor Diversity business program same cost Overall, at the moment, green programs save money May require investment in future 12

13 Results Avoiding 53 million kwh per year Reduced peak demand by 13 million watts Reduced annual emissions by million pounds of carbon Reduced water consumption by 4 million gallons While enrollment up to 74,500, and space increased by 10% Thanks ASU Purchasing: Green Purchasing: Values Based Standards: Questions??
