1. Encourage telecommuting 15

2. Mindful consumption for events 12

23

Culture Shift – Encourage Telecommuting

• This tactic considers offering $10 gift cards to attract 1,000 UCSF employees in the pilot year to telecommute once a month, saving each person 12 days of commuting each year.

• GC could be offered to managers instead of employees.

• We assumed a 16-mile average Bay Area commute and average fuel economy of 20 mpg.

24

Culture Shift – Encourage Telecommuting

• Costs: – Staff time – Gift card ($10 each) purchase

• Benefits: – UCSF building electricity saved (from avoided staff

computer use) – Reduced GHG emissions from fewer commutes

25

• Set a zero-waste policy for office events • Costs:

– Staff time -Outreach and monitoring – Additional dishwasher loads -Increased energy and

water use • Benefits:

– Savings on disposable materials (plate ware, silverware, handouts, trinkets)

– Progress towards UCSF’s goal of Zero Waste – Use events to educate staff in this area

Culture Shift – Mindful Consumption Events

Zero Waste – Waste Tracking Efficiency • This tactic considers training lab employees to

sort and consolidate waste materials into central locations

• Bins will also be labeled with official USCF Zero Waste Stickers to be more recognizable and branded.

36

Zero Waste – Waste Tracking Efficiency

Assumptions: Adam Schnirel wrote to explain that Recology pick up costs are based on

frequency and volume of service. After 75% diversion, we do not save money

on the Recology bill for a given location

Assumptions: No additional Labor Costs for the Zero Waste Team to conduct the trainings

37

Zero Waste – Waste Tracking Efficiency

• Costs: – Staff time to develop and distribute stickers – Staff time in training (student team may support this)

• Benefits: – Acquiring real data on waste diversion & hauling

practices – Training will teach employees the value of sorting and

consolidating their waste and allow for fewer bins – Custodial staff time saved by emptying fewer bins

• We assume a total of 15 minutes is saved per lab per week.

38

Zero Waste – Remote staff waste education

• This tactic considers creating a online training and iPhone app to train UCSF employees to sort waste properly

39

Zero Waste – Remote staff waste education • Costs:

– Cost of software development – Staff time

• Benefits: – Custodial time saved from emptying less bins

• Assumptions: – No additional Labor Costs for the Zero Waste Team

to conduct the game app introductions/orientations

Green Building – Building Operator Training

• This tactic considers training building operators to make buildings operate more efficiently.

• 5 head facilities employees would become certified by the Building Operator Certification program (BOC)

• Those 5 would train 50 other employees for 2 hours, twice a year

78

Green Building – Building Operator Certification (Training) • Costs:

– Staff time attending training and classes – BOC class tuition

• Benefits: – Deeper levels of energy efficiency

• kWh savings • Therm savings • CO2 savings

Green Building – Building Energy Signage

• This tactic considers creating informational signs to alert occupants and employees of energy use in the office and housing buildings, and ways to save energy.

• We conservatively assume that these signs will save 0.1% on energy use, piloted at the 654 Minnesota St. building.

81

• Costs: – Staff time designing and affixing signs

• Benefits: – Deeper levels of occupant energy conservation – Avoided GHG emissions

Toxics Reduction – Green Parenting Guide • This tactic considers developing a guide for

parents to buy green products – Included in the guide are coupons for discounted

green products • This tactic is hard to quantify, but there are a

number of significant qualitative benefits, such as: – Less toxics in the home and around children – Reduced antibacterial resistance – Better indoor environmental and air quality

92

Toxics Reduction – Green Parenting Guide • Costs:

– Staff time to develop and distribute the guide – Guide printing costs

• Benefits: – People reached and educated about reducing toxics

93

Toxic Reduction – Flame Retardant Waiver

• This tactic considers purchasing and installing furnishings made without flame retardants and approved by the Fire Marshal

• This will save UCSF costs of purchasing products made with added flame retardants

94

Toxic Reduction – Flame Retardant Waiver • Costs:

– Purchase furnishing made with out added flame retardants

• Benefits: – Reduction in the body burden of absorbed chemicals

that have ben shown to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Sustainability Leadership Group – Occupancy Sensors • This tactic considers installing occupancy

sensors in supply closets & changing rooms that have fluorescent lights that would otherwise lit 24/7.

• Wall mounted occupancy sensors are a straight replacement for a traditional switch. – Additional wiring (low voltage line) is only required for ceiling mounted

sensors. These small rooms and closets would require only wall mounted applications.

• Not only does this save energy, it reduces the number of lamps to be purchased & replaced.

Sustainability Leadership Group – Occupancy Sensors • Costs:

– Sensor costs – Installation costs

coating on the Old Hospital to reduce the Heat Island Effect

• High solar reflectance help reflect sunlight away from a building, reducing roof temperatures – Cool Roofs reduce energy use – Reduce air pollution – Improve human health and comfort

SAP 2.0 Review Successes

• Development of a consistent methodology

• Definition of the strategies and identification of tactics

• Development of a tool to guide the tactics evaluation

• Subgroups organization

• Definition of manageable objectives to complete the SAP

Lessons

• Tactics evaluation = quite laborious, hard to motivate volunteers to be active in this process

• Some WGs have “loose” internal connections create more team bonding

• Established process for biannual SAP updates

• Need project coordinator to provide analyses of projects
