The campuses of many state universities--with their miles of research laboratories and sports facilities to power, and tens of thousands of students to house--can sometimes resemble a small city. They can require as much energy to run as a small city, as well. Over the past decade, colleges and universities across the country have become concerned about their environmental footprint, and today they are leading the way in developing innovative approaches to rethinking energy infrastructure. Kent State University is installing nearly 45,000 square feet of solar panels on its athletic complex, while Princeton's power plant can now switch to run on biodiesel.
This presentation by Shane Stennes, Director of Sustainability at the University of Minnesota, was given at the MnSEIA Midwest Gateway to Solar Conference on Tuesday, November 14, 2017 and details solar installation and procurement across the organization.

Sustainable school design Case study- Discovery elementary schoolRohan Narvekar
This presentation is a case study of a Sustainable School Design for energy efficient technology and methods that could be brought under our use, The Net-Zero Energy aims for the same and we can observe here how it is introduced in this respective Project
Rah-Miel Mitchell is the Program Manager for Ecopalooza. As the program manger he is responsible for managing the project development and communicating time lines to team members for both pre-production planning as well as the production of Ecopalooza.
The Ecopalooza Project is a non-profit organization with the mission to promote the use of technology and science in the Portland Community through creative thought. Fundraising projects, such as a solar powered concert event, is geared towards raising awareness of the necessity for clean energy. This event's proceeds will assist in launching the project to integrate a local high school into a future eco-friendly environment.
A green campus is a place where environmentally responsible practice and education go hand in hand and where environmentally responsible tenets are borne out by initiatives. In this project we would make vermi compost by decomposting paper waste, vegetatives etc., by minimizing use of plastic, little practice to save energy using solar energy, harvesting rainwater and introducing community garden. On the basis of our project “Towards Green Campus†we have concluded that after analyzing and implementing the campus of BDCOE, Sevagram various points such as Quality of water has been tested and as for the result it is found portable for the drinking. Waste can be reduced by methodology of composting of waste Solid Waste Waste. It is helpful by implementing the principle of 3R.The good result by maintaining the greenery in campus by implementing our effective techniques. Prof. P. R.

Designing, Implementing, and Project Managing Campus Green FundsMieko Ozeki
Presented on March 21, 2012 at Ball State University's Greening of the Campus IX Conference by Mieko Ozeki, Sustainability Projects Coordinator and Clean Energy Fund Manager.
College campuses across the U.S. and abroad have seen a growth of student campaigns to take institutional action on climate change. One of the barriers to implementing sustainability initiatives on-campus has been financing these efforts through existing internal resources, such as general and administrative funds or institutional endowments. Student green fees are one of many alternative financial mechanisms to support sustainability initiatives on college campuses. Documentation on student green fees focus primarily on the creation of this financial structure through student campaigns, but there are limited resources that explore the design and management of these programs once they go into effect.
This paper reviews the institutional characteristics of 89 colleges and universities in the North America that currently collect at least one student green fee. A total of 98 green fees have been identified from student reports, online research, and an online survey conducted in October 2010. A majority of these fees was allocated to a broad range of sustainability initiatives while others explicitly fund services such as recycling programs, green attributes of capital construction projects, or supporting a campus sustainability office. Five sustainability managers were interviewed for an exploratory review of lessons learned on the design and implementation of student green fee programs. Four areas of student green fee design and management are highlighted with advice from sustainability managers. The intent of this presentation is to provide background info on this funding mechanism and offer recommendations on best practices for designing green fee campaigns and managing funded projects.

"Climate Action in Libraries: Creating a More Sustainable Future by Engaging and Inspiring Youth"
Organizers:
Environment, Sustainability and Libraries Section (ENSULIB) with Libraries for Children and Young Adults Section
1. Campus Renewable Energy
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1) Design and create an environmentally
friendly way to alleviate the high demand for
power by Geisel Library.
2) Combine solar panel energy with a Proton
Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell in place of
a battery to eliminate environmentally toxic
byproducts, making our project “green”!
CURRENT DESIGN
PATH FORWARD
Although the University of California, San Diego is
powered through a microgrid, it still relies on a large
amount of non-renewable fuel to power its campus.
Geisel Library is one of the top ranked public
academic libraries in our nation and the heart of our
school. It attracts both students and guests with its
vast resources, but one can imagine the amount of
energy this library consumes each day. In 2015,
Geisel consumed on a monthly average 475,000
kWh, which costs approximately $25,000 per month.
In order to limit Geisel’s consumption of non-
renewable energy, our system seeks to employ solar
panels and PEM fuel cells.

The prototype is designed to test the effectiveness of current
switching mechanisms, which will regulate the current flow between
the solar panel, fuel cell, and load. Through the prototype, we were
able to charge a phone with the standard voltage input of 5V.
