A System Perspective

California Community CollegesThe Largest System of Public Higher Ed in the WORLD

2.6 million students annually Over 70% of the state’s public college students

1/4 of all community college students in U.S. Are enrolled in California’s community colleges

System of FIRST Choice We serve the “bottom” 100% of students!!

California Community CollegesSystemwide Detail

72 districts encompassing 112 campuses, 72 approved off-campus centers and 23 separately reported district offices

Includes 24,398 acres of land, 5,192 buildings, and 72.4 million gross square feet of space

Innumerable off-campus outreach centers at various facilities

California Community CollegesCareer Technical Education

Largest provider of workforce training in U.S.

More than 175 degree and certificate programs in occupational areas

40 California Community Colleges offer classes in Green or environmentally sensitive areas

Construction & landscaping, conservation and ecology management, hazard waste management, and alternative energy

California Community CollegesSystemwide Facilities Needs

$35.8 Billion over next 10 years

5 year needs in new & existing facilitiesEnrollment Growth = 18.5m new ASF

Modernization = 27.3m ASF of existing bldgs– 67% over 25 years old– 46% over 40 years old

There will NEVER be enough money!

Better Planning & Facility utilization Streamlined project delivery systems Benchmark to industry best practices

The California Community CollegesSustainability Plan Template

Fred DiamondDirector of Facilities & Construction

Citrus College

Why Plan for Sustainability?

CCCs recognize the need for environmental and economic sustainability and social equity – the “Three E’s”

Legislation and regulations driving changes in how institutions operate

CCC Board of Governors Energy and Sustainability Policy

CCCs are the natural incubator for educating students for the Green Economy

Decentralized structure and disparate resources and expertise at the CCCs make comprehensive planning difficult

The Sustainability Template has been developed as a resource to all CCC Districts meet these challenges!

Sustainability Template

What is it?A collaboration between the CCC Chancellor’s Office, Citrus College and Newcomb Anderson McCormick, funded by a California Energy Commission grantProvides a “roadmap” and “toolkit” to help guide the California Community Colleges to a more Sustainable future

Create a “Sustainability Template” that is designed with enough flexibility to be utilized at Community Colleges throughout the state

Comprehensive and address energy, transportation, solid waste/recycling, water issues, green curriculum, green purchasing, and provides recommendations for Climate Action Planning.

Program Financing: On-Bill Financing

The Financial Solutions Element is a non-resource (no energy savings claimed) program, that provides Nonresidential customers additional options for financing their energy efficiency projects.

This Element will be offered in conjunction with and through other incentive and rebate programs to stimulate and enable higher levels of customer participation.

Retro Commissioning (RCx)RCx is a systematic process for identifying less-than-optimal performance in a facility’s existing equipment and control systems and making necessary repairs or enhancements to save energy.

RCx projects typically identify multiple energy efficiency measures with low SPBs

RCx is a Pilot Project in SCE territory
