Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
EPEAT purchases are reported, however data is not tracked as to the level (Gold, Silver, Bronze). In calendar year 2011, EPEAT rated purchases totaled $2,533,698. This figure is based on UC Davis purchases from the UC systemwide agreement, which the primary source of computer products. The figure does not include purchases from non-agreement sources.
UC Davis does not claim points in STARS for EPEAT Gold expenditures, although several of the purchases are Gold rated. Additionally, some purchases may be EPEAT Bronze. For that reason, UC Davis has elected to report all EPEAT expenditures as Silver products.
