The CSU Campus Energy Coordinator works with CSU building proctors to develop engagement (outreach and education) programs as well as training for building proctors to work with faculty, staff, and student staff to encourage/enable energy, water, and resource conservation at CSU. Building proctors are a resource to the entire campus for energy/resource conservation and other sustainability practices.

Trainings include both in-person and online resources that include Ideas to Save Electricity, Faces of Conservation, A Proctor's Case for Conservation, and Computer Power Management.
• The Campus Energy Coordinator implements various building energy challenges. The focus of these challenges have been on reducing electricity (electricity is our single largest contributor to GHG emissions – reducing electricity consumption will help us reduce our emissions). These challenges are ongoing so building proctors/buildings can join in at any point in time.
o Some buildings asked occupants to take a pledge to reduce energy use (or other types of sustainability-related actions)
o In each building the Campus Energy Coordinator works with the building proctor to distribute monthly email updates / encouragement / tips / etc.
• The Campus Energy Coordinator is also responsible for training sessions at: University New Employee Orientation, Facilities Management New Employee Orientation, Tier 3 Building Proctor Training (our building proctors go through 4 tiers of training), as well as department staff meetings, lunch-n-learn programs, and professional development sessions.
• In January 2014 at PDI the Campus Energy Coordinator co-presented with other faculty a program called “Become a ‘Certified Conservation Champion’” – a new dedicated peer-to-peer education outreach effort.
