Using LEED-CI to Green Campus
Renovation Projects
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
8:00am–5:00pm
UCen Harbor Room
This is an advanced level workshop that goes beyond the Technical Review of LEEDTM CI
and delves deeper into how to accomplish the intent of the credit requirements and ideas
to go beyond them. We spend 90% of our time indoors and more than a third of the day
at work. It makes good common sense to have energy and water efficient interiors that
also promote well-being, are better for the environment, and are easier to operate and
maintain.
Student Convergence
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
8:00am–5:00pm
Meet at Girvetz Courtyard
The Student Convergence will be an opportunity for students from all campuses to come
together, meet each other, share best practices, and learn about opportunities for state-
wide organizing. There will be space set aside during the day for UC, CSU, and CCC cam-
puses to split into breakout groups with students from their own systems as well as some
opportunities to bring all three groups together.
BeyondFire “Sustainable Utility Nodes”
(SUN) Workshop
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
8:00am–5:00pm
Bren Hall
Too long have we burned fuels for our community’s energy needs. We currently rely on
hunting and gathering dwindling and volatile fossil fuels to provide the power we need for
supporting our societies progress. The external costs of this system are too high. We envi-
sion a world of buildings as distributed energy generation nodes that harvest electricity
and power without the side effects of pollution, security threats, and price volatility. Each
building can form an individual SUN and function within the grid infrastructure already
built. With innovative financing and a dedicated mission, renewable energy can help all our
communities’ progress into a sustained future of health, safety, and prosperity. Fossil fuels
have long caused combustion in both energy and politics and it is time to move beyond
this harmful addiction, BeyondFire.
