The goal of this project is to get 11 campus buildings "off" of the electrical grid. We are working with the Division of Student Affairs to achieve Net 0 energy use by looking holistically at division wide efficiency upgrades and onsite renewable energy installations. Through a collaborative effort with Physical Facilities, a model has been developed to help us investigate all possible ways to get building’s energy demands lowered. Once all options have been evaluated and the cost-effective ones have been implemented, we hope to bring in a photo voltaic system to cover the rest of the buildings' energy needs. UCSB and Green Campus are the first in the UC System to pursue a project of this sort.

UCSB's IT department is very unique in that there are auctually multiple IT units that help manage the campus. Partnering with Student Affairs, the Campus IT Department, and the Geopgraphy Department, Green Campus is coordinating a pilolit project of a power management utility. This software controls networked computers and allows them to turned off and on, put into sleep mode, and dim the screens all from a central location.

Water efficiency continues to be an important goal for both UCSB and Green Campus. Through a collaborative effort between Green Campus and Housing & Residential Services, we are exploring different applications for reclaimed water and drip irrigation. We hope to use this project to demonstrate the many benefits of using reclaimed water, in hopes of implementing a campus-wide policy on water usage.
