Sheridan College (Ontario)
PA-1: Sustainability Coordination

The Integrated Energy and Climate Master Plan (IECMP) aims to decrease the institutions overall energy and carbon emissions by 50% by 2020 through focused investment over the next 5-7 years. The IECMP committee holds regular bi-weekly meetings in which members gather and discuss progress and issues pertaining to the overall aim of the IECMP initiative. In addition, Sheridan's Office for Sustainability hosts Green Team meetings at each of its campuses.

Sheridan’s commitment to campus sustainability was formalized in 2010 with the launch of its Office for Sustainability (OfS). The OfS works as a catalyst for change by partnering with faculty, students and staff to foster a culture of sustainability and to use the campus as a ‘living laboratory’ for innovation. The OfS oversees the implementation of Sheridan’s Mission Zero goals and convenes the community to share best practices and develop new programs and policies that strive to serve as replicable models to inspire our students and future leaders. Its role is to act as a ‘multi-disciplinary’ hub in order to find applied solutions and influence adoption of sustainable practices in the post-secondary, government, non-profit and business sectors. The OfS team in partnership with all Campus operations works to expand the integration of sustainability into operational practices throughout Sheridan. The OfS works to leverage the collective knowledge of our partners across Sheridan.

Sheridan College created an Office for Sustainability (OfS) in 2010. The OfS has 9.5 FTE staff and frequently works with co-op students, Work Study students, and volunteers. The OfS works as a catalyst for change by partnering with faculty, students and staff to foster a culture of sustainability and to use the campus as a ‘living laboratory’ for innovation. It oversees the implementation of Sheridan’s Mission Zero goals and convenes the community to share best practices and develop new programs and policies that strive to serve as replicable models to inspire our students and future leaders. Mission Zero is Sheridan’s framework for institution-wide sustainability initiatives. It is an ambitious mandate to re-envision the College’s energy future, make significant reductions in its institutional footprint, set breakthrough performance targets, and begin developing highly integrated sustainability, energy and climate curriculum across faculties. It is guided by the College’s Office for Sustainability and represents operational and curricular goals, driven by Sheridan’s Sustainability Policy. Mission Zero embodies the journey toward transformational systemic change and accelerates the creation of a campus-wide sustainability culture. Two current strategic plans define the mission: 1. The Integrated Energy and Climate Master Plan (IECMP) aims to decrease the institutions overall energy and carbon emissions by 50% by 2020 through focused investment over the next 5-7 years. 2. The Zero Waste Sheridan plan will help guide the institution to becoming a zero waste campus by 2020. The OfS's role is to act as a ‘multi-disciplinary’ hub in order to find applied solutions and influence adoption of sustainable practices in the post-secondary, government, non-profit and business sectors. The OfS team in partnership with all campus operations works to expand the integration of sustainability into operational practices throughout Sheridan. OfS works to leverage the collective knowledge of our partners across Sheridan. In addition, Sheridan’s Mission Zero framework and institution wide sustainability initiatives have resulted in rapid implementation of strategic plans and using the campuses as ‘living laboratories’ in order to accelerate campus wide sustainability culture. Outlines of goals and current initiative accomplishments can be found via this link: http://missionzero.sheridancollege.ca/ A unique feature of our Mission Zero initiatives is our, ‘living laboratory’ which involved over 100 faculty and students in project planning, sustainability assessment, building auditing and modeling. Strategically, the Sheridan “Living Laboratory’ continues to address the need for greater integrated planning across departmental and faculty boundaries greatly encourages partnerships between operational staff, faculty and students. The implementation of Mission Zero sub-projects provide a large scale ‘real life’ platform covering all aspects of the economic, business, technical, social, and environmental issues involved in energy, waste and carbon reduction initiatives.
