A brief description of the institution’s efforts to support alternative fuel and power technology in its motorized fleet:
UCSB has an Alternative Energy Subcommittee that explores the numerous avenues the University has for reducing its reliance on nonrenewable resources. It uses these alternative energy sources to ultimately save the campus money. The University plans on using a portfolio approach that incorporates numerous different energy efficient projects. There are a number of policies set in place to increase the energy efficiency of the campus. We are striving to receive 10% more than the state mandates in the amount of energy via renewable sources we take in. All high cost projects have evaluations done for photovoltaic panels, which will help to provide up to 10 megawatts of on-site renewable power by 2014. The University is also striving to lower our greenhouse gas emissions to a climate neutral level shortly after our year 2020 goal of year 1990 levels. Furthermore, 95% of our power is scheduled to come from renewable sources by 2045. To help lower the costs of green power projects, UCSB pursues emissions credits to make the most effective use of its money.
