This afternoon, I verified with Jack Dempsey that he is still willing to fund a 900-HR extra-help employee for the first year of the new Campus Bike Project.  The employee will be paid $12.00 per hour for 900 hours, so the full cost is $10,800. - Morgan Johnston

As part of the ICECF 2009 Lighting Retrofit, 628 T-12 fixtures in the Turner Student Services Building were replaced with more energy-efficient T-8 fixtures. This switch will incur an Annual kWh Savings of 99,474 hours. The simple payback for this project is 2 years.

The Sustainable Campus Operations Committee (SCOC) was charged with developing the operational plans for a sustainable campus. The approach taken by the committee is aligned with campus strategic planning. The implications of the campus strategic plan and the sustainable campus plan are intimately connected, and they should be discussed in ways where their linkages are visible and understood.  Decision-making for sustainability needs integration with decision-making at all levels of university administration. In this spirit, the format of this interim report provides an overview of the preliminary goals, strategies and metrics for sustainable campus operations.

A total of 2,694 lighting fixtures in the Foreign Language Building were changed from T-12 fixtures to T-8 fixtures as part of the ICECF Lighting Retrofit. This will allow an Annual kWh Savings of 424,790 hours. The Simple Payback for changing the fixtures in the Foreign Language Building is 3.06 years. Occupancy sensors were also installed in this facility for further energy savings.

In April 2009, The Bike Project (TBP) representatives submitted an application for funding to the Student Sustainability Committee (SSC).  In June 2009, the SSC awarded $30,000 for the shop construction.
