  3. Panelists • Jeff Darling, Sr. Purchasing Agent & Sustainability Officer • Linda Kogan, Director of Sustainability, UCCS • Jarrett Smith, Sustainability Officer, UCD • Moe Tabrizi, Director Energy Conservation, UCB

  4. Overview • Educate & encourage the community to purchase the most sustainable products and services • No mandates doesn’t mean no action • Supplier shows, PSC open houses, Campus Forums, Newsletter articles

  5. Background • Sustainability Council formed April 2008 • Jeff Darling, PSC Sustainability Officer • Linda Kogan, Director of Sustainability, UCCS • Dave Newport, Director of the Environmental Center, UCB • Jarrett Smith, Sustainability Officer, UCD • Sandy Hicks, Vice President & Chief Procurement Officer • Charlene Lydick, Associate Director of Procurement • Teresa Osborne, Director of Capital Assets

  6. Initial Tasks • “Green Purchasing Policy” • “The Sustainable Purchasing Program” - posted at the PSC website • How to get the most sustainable products for CU at the best possible pricing and total cost

  8. First Focus • Increase the purchase of recycled paper • Through Strategic Sourcing, got contract with competitive pricing for recycled paper • Get the word out— • PSC Communicator – electronic newsletter • Supplier Showcases • PSC Open Houses • Campus Forums • Samples of recycled paper • Increased purchase of recycled paper by 60%

  9. Encouraging Change • Per State statute, office furniture is purchased from Colorado Correctional Industries (CCI) • CU one of the largest purchasers of furniture in the state • Utilizing the Strategic Sourcing team as the lead, got the “green” needs of the University added to agenda for regular business review meetings • Sustainability Officer requested specific items to be addressed

  10. Results of Change • CCI incorporated requested changes into website very quickly • Examples- • Our Commitment in Design • Our Commitment in Manufacturing • Our Commitment in Partnering • Manufacturers committed to our environmental issues

  11. Campus Efforts Linda Kogan Sustainability Director University of Colorado at Colorado Springs

  12. Selected as official sustainability assessment tool for UCCS • Over 100 schools already signed up • How does this affect purchasing? • Increases demand for “green” products Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System LEED, Green Seal cleaning products, EPEAT electronics, Low VOC paints, adhesives, carpets, LED lights, Recycled content paper Re-usable to go containers, Snow and ice removal, Integrated Pest Management programs, Lighting sensors, Recycled content napkins, Food

  13. Greening of State Government By 2012 from baseline of 2006 20% reduction in energy use, 10% water use, 20% in paper use, 25% fleet fuel, Zero waste in operations and construction

  14. Paper Case Study • Strategic Purchasing Agreement with • Staples for office supplies • UCCS Library – branded virgin paper, not Staples, $4.05/ream • Procurement Services Center oversight • on campus purchases • Staples $2.86 for virgin paper, $3.14 for • 30% recycled, $3.65 for 100% • Calculated savings for semester for • switching to 30% recycled = $800

  15. Carpet Tiles Case Study Strategic Purchasing Agreement - Interface • Savings 20% • Environmental Attributes – Not just about who sells recycled carpet • Comprehensive take back policy • Methane from landfill to power factory • Aggressive reuse and carbon reduction goals • Tactile technology to eliminate glues and reduce materials

  16. UCCS Science & Engineering Building – LEED Gold CRES 2009 Renewable Energy and Sustainable Design in Buildings Award 2009 Colorado Sustainable Design Award - Colorado Biz Magazine LEED drives green purchasing, creates market advantage

  17. Campus Efforts Jarrett Smith Sustainability Officer University of Colorado Denver

  18. UC Denver: • Downtown Campus • Anschutz Medical Campus • Built from 2000-2010, Over 4 million sq. ft. and growing • Large Biomedical Research Facilities • Sustainability Drivers: • Governor’s Greening of Government Executive Order • American College and University President’s Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) • SB 57 - High Performance Buildings • Regents Sustainability Resolution • COST SAVINGS

  19. Crafting Sustainable Culture Cuts across all silos Procurement has a major role - from products we purchase (source & quality) to the price we pay Sustainable products are often higher quality, have more longevity and save money in the long run How do we get the word out? Has become a function of best practices within the facilities management group Research One: 600k Biomedical Research Facility, EUI of 450 (kBtu/sf) Energy conservation measures have begun Strategic sourcing will decrease total project costs and decrease payback period Once completed, projects will save 15% of total campus energy use and cut 10% of greenhouse gas emissions

  20. New Construction Three LEED Buildings in design or construction phases School of Pharmacy Health & Wellness Center Business School LEED is driving sustainable purchasing in these new buildings and educating university faculty, staff and students of the benefits of sustainable products and purchasing

  21. Campus Efforts Moe Tabrizi Director, Energy Conservation University of Colorado at Boulder

  22. Financing and installing solar PV on campus buildings MFT 1/10

  23. Recently installed PV: 472 panels, 140,000 kWh/year, enough energy to power 20 regular-sized homes MFT 1/10

  24. Coors Events Center: 210 panels, 44 kW, 61,600 kwh/yearCoors uses approximately 1 million kwh/year, which means the PV panels provide 6% of the energy for the building MFT 1/10

  25. Housing Maintenance Center:210 panels, 44 kW, 61,600 kwh/yearPV panels provide 18% of the energy for the building MFT 1/10

  26. Wolf Law:52 panels, 11 kW, 15,400 kwh/year MFT 1/10

  27. Mountain Research Station 20 kw arrays provide remote renewable power for CU climate science research along continental divide west of Boulder. Student funded, Xcel rebates, etc Mountain Research Station gets snowed in and experiences some power losses in heavy snow loads. PV provides remote renewable supplies.

  28. Structured to take advantage of Xcel process, Amendment 37, Tax credit, & Accelerated depreciation charges RESIDENTIAL MIDSIZE LARGE SCALE • <10kw 10kw-100kw >100kw Partnership with 3rd party venture capitalist in need of tax credits MFT 1/10

  29. Ongoing Efforts • Sourcing team will include sustainability language in RFPs • Recently completed for lab supplies and equipment • An RFP for Green Chemicals is coming up soon • Ability to track and verify the procurement of such items as Energy Star equipment and FSC certified lab furniture • Quarterly reporting quickly shows new purchases as well as trends and opportunities

  30. The Next Big Thing • Teaming of Facilities, Strategic Sourcing and Sustainability • Imagine a world where the biggest “bang for the buck” was a world where Procurement strategically sourced sustainable products to be used in new construction and major renovation projects. A place where “General Contractor mark up” was a thing of the past?

  31. Carpet & Flooring • Whatyou put on the floor greatly influences what you release into the air in your beautiful new building • New phrases - off gassing, toxic adhesives and Nylon 66 • Utilize the E&I contract for InterFaceFLORContract No. CNR-01134 • Enable Facilities to use some of the best and highest recycled content carpet in the world at very competitive prices

  32. Lighting & Building Controls • LED lighting • HVAC upgrades • LEED points • Save money and reduce consumption

  33. STARS & Procurement • Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System • Voluntary, self-reporting framework • Recognizing & gauging relative progress toward sustainability • Run by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) • Procurement’s role

  34. STARS Purchasing • Seeks to recognize institutions that are using their purchasing power to help build a sustainable economy. . . Each purchasing decision represents an opportunity for institutions to choose environmentally and socially preferable products and services and support companies with strong commitments to sustainability.
