Posted on April 27th, 2007 in Latest Announcements |
Green Campus is a program run by the Alliance to Save Energy, funded by the UC/CSU/IOU Energy Efficiency Partnership and a grant from the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Sustainability, and is implemented on 6 University of California campuses, 6 California State Universities, and Standford University.
Green Campus is a student led energy efficiency campaign to educate students, staff, faculty, and the local community on the importance of energy conservation and realize real energy savings by establishing ongoing environmental projects at UC Berkeley. In doing this, we hope to demonstrate how energy and sustainability are integral to our society.
In the past four school years, Green Campus programs have resulted a reduction in energy usage equivalent to over $191,000 in avoided energy costs or a savings of over 1,900 MWh.
This year, UC Berkeley Green Campus Team will be running projects in the residence halls and on-campus. The on-campus projects include the Energy DeCal class, Shut the Sash campaign, Vending Miser Expansion, Haas Energy Challenge, ER 199, CRT Exchange, and Student Energy Projects. The campus housing projects include the CFL exchange, “Blackout Battles” energy competitions, Hall Staff Outreach, and the Green Room Series in collaboration with the Residential Sustainability Education Coordinators (RSECs).
