------------------------------
Gopal Pareek presented a proposal for DIA to join the Green Sports Alliance to Brett Stillwell, with the attached files. Brett indicated willingness to join and committed to completing the application for a standard membership ($500).
Gopal met with Professor Cheryl L. Cole about her work with the Green Sports Alliance. She is also a teacher in RST. He also is working on getting meetings with the SWATeams, to consider how DIA can help with the iCAP objectives.
Today, Gopal and Morgan White reviewed the data from the Energy Billing System for each of the DIA facilities, and discussed next steps for finalizing the energy and water reports, and coordinating them into the Building-Level Energy Report Card format.
Gopal Pareek and Morgan White met to review progress on the DIA CAP efforts. Gopal received information from the Green Sports Alliance, including a proposal for UIUC to join the alliance. He also pulled the energy, water, and sanitary sewer data for each of the DIA buildings, to review with Brett Stillwell. The square footage for each facility is needed, as well as the natural gas use, when applicable.
Gopal and Morgan reviewed the Big Ten schools in the Green Sports Alliance. Gopal will find associated scores for the schools that are in that program. He pulled data for the DIA buildings from the Energy Billing System, and put them into the consolidated format. He also began reviewing the Green Sports Alliance programs. During the next month, Gopal will contact the SWATeams to brainstorm potential ways DIA can help acheive the iCAP objectives for their topics. He will also start a draft word document for the DIA CAP and list recommended actions for each chapter of the iCAP.
The attached file was developed by the Office of Sustainability in 2012. In 2016, updates were proposed by Morgan Johnston at F&S. These messages have not been used yet.
