Project Sponsor: Student Environmental Resource Center (SERC)

Awarded: $14,015

Grant Awarded: Spring 2018

Project Status: Complete

Project Description 

The Building Sustainability at Cal (BS@C) Program trains and utilizes students to help reduce the environmental impact of campus buildings by identifying structural and operational changes that can be made to buildings, as well as designing and implementing educational projects. This is accomplished by hiring student interns and working on case by case outreach and auditing projects. BS@C interns cooperate with building and project managers, assisting on LEED© (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) credit documentations and other audits. In addition, we provide a framework for recognition of smaller-scale green construction projects known as the Green Paw Certification, developed by a group of BS@C interns in collaboration with professionals in the field.
