Goal 2.0

 

 

 

Initiate and Install Energy Conservation Measures in Several Existing Santa Rosa, Petaluma and PSTC Facilities

Institutional Goals:  #1 Fiscal Responsibility;  #3 Environmentally Sound Policies and Practices

 

Objective 2.1
Replace old and inefficient hydronic heating systems.

 

Eight new boiler systems were purchased and will be installed during the next 12- 18 months. The first 3 will be installed during the fall of 2006

In addition to improved operational efficiencies, these boiler systems will save approximately $55,000 in fuel costs and will receive PG&E rebates.

Objective 2.2
Install motion sensors for lighting conservation

The Lighting Motion Sensor Project was delayed somewhat as the District sought rebate funding, but has now been approved for rebates and is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2006.

The project has been approved for rebates in a new pilot partnership program between the Chancellor’s Office and PG&E.

Objective 2.3
Explore other environmentally-friendly energy and building materials leading to conservation measures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Frank P. Doyle Library has a very efficient air conditioning system which makes ice at night when energy costs are low, in order to cool the building during the day. Additionally, many of the building materials used in the Library are “green”, consisting of recycled components (carpets, upholstery, wall coverings), or renewable products (natural linoleum of cork and linseed oil, wood fiber based counter tops). All of these products, including interior paints, are zero emission generators and do not off-gas any allergens. The building also generates a large portion of its own electricity with a photovoltaic array on the roof.

The District approved the installation of three new photovoltaic projects for the coming 12 months- an expansion of the existing Lounibos roof system, a new system on the Plover roof, and a carport mounted system at the Public Safety Training Center. Those projects are all underway.

The existing SR Campus cogeneration plant was replaced with a more modern and efficient system.
Other design strategies to reduce energy use that are currently approved will include geothermal water storage, underfloor air circulation, IDEC airconditioning, enthalpic fans, daylighting, and more.

The previous major SR Campus building, the Race Building, has won regional and national awards for energy efficiency in its HVAC design, and the District continues to seek out new methods and technologies.

 

These projects will qualify for significant PG&E rebates.

 

This is producing $90,000 per year in electricity and will receive a large PG&E rebate.

Departments were requested to complete a written inventory of their hazardous materials in an email dated 8/19/05, wherein EH&S asked departments to complete and submit their inventories by 12/23/05. 

To date, chemical inventories have been received from Ceramics, Printmaking & Photography (Renata Breth), Theater Arts (Maryanne Scozzari), Earth and Space Science (Rebecca Perlroth), Custodial Services (Gary Bagley) & the Dental Program in Health Science (Doni Bird).

Departments that have not responded include, Petaluma Campus (Ofelia Arellano), PSTC (Scott Askim), Facilities Operations (Paul Bielen), Media Services (Russ Bowden), Shone Farm (Leonard Diggs), Graphics (Corinne Dressler), Agriculture/Natural Resources (Robert Fraser), Radiologic Tech Program in Health Science (Xuan Ho), Industrial & Trade Tech (Jim Kelly) & Life Science (Susan Wilson)

Objective 7.2
EH & S will research and evaluate Material Safety Data Sheet data management programs and make a purchase recommendation to the Component Administrators.

  • This objective was considered elective (i.e. not specifically mandated by state or local regulations), but would make it easier and more cost-effective for the District to comply with regulations.

 

  • Because the full-time EH&S AAI position was vacant from 7/18/05 to 6/13/06, the Hazardous Materials Specialist assumed some AAI position duties & did not complete this objective.
  • EH&S did identify three vendors that design & sell MSDS data management systems, EHS Enterprise, Safetee & MSDS Solutions.

 

  • This objective will be continued in 2006-2007.
  • Implementation of the recommended data management program requires funding from parties outside EH&S.

 

Objective will be accomplished by 12/22/06

Objective 7.3
EH&S will apply for System funding of Hazardous Materials Storage Facilities at the Santa Rosa and Petaluma campuses in order to safely and securely manage the processing of hazardous wastes.

EH&S has proposed and is monitoring the progress on funding and construction of two Hazardous Materials Storage Facilities (Petaluma and Santa Rosa campuses) by keeping in contact with Ian Grossman, Jay Carpenter and Dr. Groninga.

Waiting for (1) work being done by Ian Grossman (Petaluma Phase II HMSF) and (2) approval from either the Chancellor’s Office or Dr. Groninga concerning funding the Santa Rosa Campus HMSF.

Completion of this objective requires approval and funding from parties outside EH&S.

I had phone conversations with Jay Carpenter on 7/28/05 and 9/26/05 concerning the need to keep both the Santa Rosa campus and the Petaluma proposed facilities on our active lists.  First contacted Ian Grossman by phone on 11/16/05 to inquire about Petaluma Phase II status of the HMSF.

Goal 8.0

EH&S will provide program development to improve the general health, wellness and emergency preparedness of the District through on-going educational events.

  • More than 30 vendors participated and several hundred dollars worth of donations paid for refreshments and dozens of raffle prizes.
  • This year’s WOW Fair was held on a Thursday; the first time it was held on a day that classes were in session.

There was an increase in participation over previous years because the Fair was held on a day that classes were in session.

There was general agreement among vendors and fairgoers that the event was successful in bringing important health, safety, wellness and emergency preparedness information to our employees and, this year, students.

Objective 8.2
In conjunction with the District Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, EH&S will develop the agenda for fall 2005 and spring 2006 PDA activities, including PDA Days in February 2006, presenting workshops and lectures on various emergency preparedness, health and safety topics.

 

 

  • The EH&S Coordinator served on the PDA Planning Committee throughout the year, assisting in the design and set up of several workshops and presentations.

 

  • EH&S conducted several classes during the year that earned faculty PDA flex credit for attendance, including CPR, First Aid, Fire Extinguisher, Stair Communication training classes.
  • There was an increase in faculty participation in these training programs due to heightened awareness through PDA and because faculty can earn flex credit for attendance.

 

  • There was general agreement among faculty and staff who were completed evaluation forms that these events were successful in bringing important emergency preparedness information to our employees.
