What We Do Water Use Energy Waste Diversion/Reductio n Reduce overall GHG Emissions

Emission Scopes Scope 1 Natural Gas (MMBtu) Central Plant Housing Eateries Campus vehicles Scope 2 Purchased Electricity (kWh) SMUD Scope 3 Waste / Transportation (Tons) Trash Commuting Business Travel

Transportation All the cars with one person versus public transportation OneCard

Energy Lighting Retrofits in existing buildings SMUD’s AutoDemand Response (ADR) Program Chilled Water Tower Renewable Energy

Water DWR Grant LID (Low Impact Development) Sites

Waste Diversion Refillable Water Stations Forget single-use plastic! Recycling E-waste Plastics/glass/ aluminum Composting BAC Yard Organic waste pickups from eateries/ coffee

Sac State’s Climate Action Plan Carbon Neutrality Goals & Milestones Reduce total GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 Reduce total GHG emissions by 80% by 2035 Reduce total GHG emissions to net zero by 2040 Energy New construction, existing building & infrastructure improvements Renewable energy Student, faculty, & staff behavioral changes Waste Waste reduction and diversion strategies Dining Procurement Water New construction existing building & infrastructure improvements Transportation Bicycle circulation Parking Commuting reduction

Parking Structure V Parksmart Certified (USGBC) Use of precast building elements to reduce traffic impact on campus during construction Bioswales designed throughout landscaped areas to reduce storm water run off Installation of a tire filling station to increase car safety and gas mileage EV charging stations Carpool and EV/Clean Vehicle designated parking Installation of parking count system to reduce idle vehicles and assists drivers in finding open spaces through the integrated lighting system Painted white at the interior to increase visibility within the structure LED lighting throughout, which is tied to a control system which reduces lighting levels when areas are not in use, and sensors do not detect movement.

What this means for our Hornet family Waste E-waste pickup Recycling/composting Water IR faucets & low-flow bowls Low impact development sites (LID’s) Energy Covered solar parking structures (Summer 2020) EV charging stations (number of stations?) Commuting (Dr. Singh transportation survey) Environment Campus trees and native California plants (Tree Campus USA for past 6 years) Biodiversity Social equity (Anchor University Embodiment)
