3:00 pm-4:00 pm The California Education and the Environment Initiative California’s landmark Education and the Environment Initia- tive (EEI) Curriculum is increasing environmental literacy in classrooms today. Hear first-hand experiences from teach- ers currently implementing the EEI Curriculum and lessons learned from administrators. Tis K-12 curriculum is formally approved by the State Board of Education for use in classrooms statewide. It is composed of 85 individual curriculum units that are aligned to more than 100 selected Science and History- Social Science academic content standards, while supporting English Language Arts standards. Te EEI Curriculum is relevant for students, flexible for teachers, engaging for all. It offers extensions to resources outside of the classroom, alterna- tive and traditional assessments and more. It is serving as a model across the nation and internationally while it prepares today’s students to become future scientists, economists, and green technology leaders.

9:00 am-10:15 am Sustainability Master Planning for Schools A green school doesn’t happen overnight and requires plan- ning, teamwork, community support and continuous ongoing effort. School districts typically develop strategic plans for their educational programs and facilities master plans. Devel- oping a sustainability master plan incorporates some elements of both these processes and provides a framework for a school or district to move incrementally toward the transformation of their school into a green school. Using examples from several school districts, the panel will demonstrate the elements of a sustainability master plan including: energy use and imple- mentation of renewables, storm water management, water use,
orientation of new buildings and additions to maximize ven- tilation, day lighting and views, education and integrated cur- riculum, and use of outdoor spaces and school gardens. Tere are many resources available to school districts to assist with the development of their sustainability master plan, particu- larly with regard to facilities. Te panel will discuss the use and application of each of these resources using example projects.

10:45 am-12:00 pm The Road to Energy Independence Zero Carbon Schools: Lessons from the UK AECOM is part of the Target Zero Consortium, which pro- vides guidance on the design and construction of sustainable, low and zero-carbon school buildings in the UK. Target Zero has recently completed a guidance for schools. Tis session presents the finding of this report. Using recently constructed typical school buildings as benchmarks, Target Zero has inves- tigated three specific, priority areas of sustainable construction: • Operational carbon - how operational energy use and as- sociated carbon emissions can be reduced by incorporating appropriate and cost-effective energy efficiency measures and low and zero carbon (LZC) technologies • How to achieve high ratings in green building standards such as LEED and BREEAM at lowest cost • Embodied carbon - quantification of the embodied carbon of buildings particularly focusing on different structural forms. Te work has been undertaken by a consortium of leading organizations in the field of sustainable construction including AECOM.
Presenter: Robert Buckley, Director of Sustainability, AECOM
