 Campus-wide Outreach Program

Implement energy awareness programs to encourage

facilities staff, faculty and students to change their
energy behavior and adopt permanent energy-saving
habits for school and at home.
 Promote Conservation Goals
Regents Policy – Reduce energy use in existing buildings by 10% by 2014

Governor Announces Green Building Initiative

Executive Order S-20-04 creates the Green Building Initiative with these
goals:
Reduce electricity purchased from the grid by existing government and
private commercial buildings by 10% per square foot by 2010 and 20% by
2015, and involve state leadership in retrofitting, building and operating the
most energy- and resource-efficient public buildings in the country.
 Prior Awareness Efforts

• Meet with building staff

• Explain issues and goals
• Offer suggested changes
• Solicit suggested facilities improvements
• Distribute monthly progress reports
• On-going communication
