A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the research inventory:
To complete this research inventory we calculated the number of faculty who are actively pursuing and conducting research, have submitted research proposals, or have been awarded grants relating to sustainability.

A brief description of notable accomplishments during the previous three years by faculty and/or staff engaged in sustainability research:
Notable achievements include: 1. Grant awards from the California State Department of Fish and Game and the California State Water Resources Control Board to monitor the environmental health of California's streams, rivers, lakes and coastal areas. The research team on the program, known as SWAMP (Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program), collects and analyzes scientific data on water from around the state. They examine water quality chemistry and measure toxicity. That data is then compiled, analyzed and integrated into comprehensive reports and web sites that serve as resources and repositories for the entire State of California. The program is led by Rusty Fairey, Director of the Marine Pollution Studies Laboratory at SJSU's Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. 2. In a highly technical convergence of material formulation, digital modeling and 3-D printing, Professor Virginia San Fratello - a licensed, practicing architect and SJSU faculty member - and her students are designing sustainable, customizable and inexpensive building components made entirely from recycled demolition debris and carpentry waste. Funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, they have constructed rigid window coverings that mediate the interior climate, reducing the need for air conditioning and heating. Using an open-weave ivy-leaf pattern, they have generated mass customized designs that increase winter interior temperatures by an average of 12 degrees and decrease summer interior temperatures by an average of 9 degrees. 3. The Spartan Superway is a model automated transit network (ATN), a system where fully automated vehicles operate on a grade-separated track, one that is elevated about 20 to 30 feet above existing roadways. Under the guidance of Mechanical Engineering Professor Burford Thurman, a design team of SJSU students from engineering, industrial design, urban planning, and business have constructed a short but full-size model of the track as well as developing a cabin design. While no market for the ATN yet exists, it appears to have future potential as a mode of sustainable transportation given that a solar power collection system can be integrated into its design.
