1:15 pm-2:30 pm Funding & Implementing Renewable Energy Projects – Part 2 Developing Leaner, Cleaner and Greener Community Colleges Tis session will discuss how by utilizing fuel cell energy sys- tems, community colleges and schools can reduce their over- head costs, reduce their carbon emissions by up to 40 percent and contribute to a more positive, green learning environment. In addition, architects and building planners will learn how, by adding a fuel cell energy system to their project, they can qual- ify for additional funding, fast track their project, and more. With real-life examples of how this innovative technology is being used, participants will leave with actionable steps they can take employing smarter, more advanced environmentally friendly technology to meet their energy and heating needs.
Presenters: Nicole Elovitz, Director of Marketing, ClearEdge Power Mike Bigelow, Project Engineering, California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE) Jack Brouwer, Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, UC Irvine & Associate Director, National Fuel Cell Research Center & Chair, Technical Committee, California Stationary Fuel Cell Collaborative Linda Gerber, President, Sylvania Campus, Portland Community College Laura Ward, Energy Resource Conservation Manager, Portland Community College
3:00 pm-4:00 pm CCC-IOU Partnership: Freeing Up Dollars for the Classroom Te CCC/IOU Partnership has been working with Community Colleges since 2006 to translate energy efficiency into sustain- able cost savings that free up dollars for the classroom and reduce the district’s carbon footprint. Because energy expen- ditures are second only to labor expenses, it is important for campuses to find creative solutions to reduce energy usage and leverage utility incentives. Tis presentation showcases energy efficiency projects that offer no-cost/low-cost solutions for Districts facing severe budget cuts.

10:45 am-12:00 pm Planning for the Future: Incorporating Sustain- ability into a Campus Master Plan How does one college, with three separate campuses, unite itself through a master plan rooted in sustainable planning strategies? Located in north San Diego County, MiraCosta Community College District is currently in the process of developing their Comprehensive Master Plan (CMP), which will guide the district through development for the next 30 years. At the heart of this planning effort, is the goal to “develop interrelated plans that will establish models of environmentally sustainable practices.” Te plan will connect all three campuses through a network of existing reserves, while simultaneously re- inforcing the college’s role as a steward of the environment. Still in development, the CMP will incorporate the sustainable plan- ning strategies into a document that will be used for all existing and future development at the MiraCosta Community College District’s campuses. Using lessons learned from MiraCosta, at- tendees will learn how to understand and respond to a college’s community context and how to leverage its physical attributes to maximize sustainable approaches to master planning.

1:15 pm-2:30 pm Heading Towards Grid Neutral and LEED Platinum Aſter 10 years of USGBC’s green building program, LEED is being accepted by the public and private sector. From volun- tary policies at the beginning of the decade, to executive orders and green building code towards the end of the decade, the concepts of measuring sustainability as in the LEED program are being put into use for all programs and policies adopted by various agencies. Local governments and policies are catching up with the LEED program and codes nationwide are draw- ing equivalencies to the LEED Silver and Gold buildings. Te industry understands that through an integrated design and construction process, review of life cycle costs and available incentives, costs of Silver and Gold buildings can be seriously reduced or even fully mitigated. However, premium costs related to a Platinum building certification still exist. Platinum
