CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 1016, STATUTES OF 2002 – AB 857 requires information to
be included in all proposals for funding state infrastructure to assure that the project goals are
consistent with state planning priorities to help prevent urban sprawl.
1. Does the recommended solution (project) promote infill development by rehabilitating existing
infrastructure and how? Explain.
<Start Here>
2. Does the project improve the protection of environmental and agricultural resources by
protecting and preserving the state’s most valuable natural resources? Explain.
<Start Here>
3. Does the project encourage efficient development patterns by ensuring that infrastructure
associated with development, other than infill, support efficient use of land and is appropriately
planned for growth? Explain.

COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA GLOBAL CLIMATE SOLUTIONS ACT (AB 32) –
Division 25.5, commencing with Section 38500 of Health and Safety Code AB 32 requires
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions be reduced to 1990 levels by 2020. Please complete the following
GHG emissions table for all major capital projects including capital renewal projects. Projects that
have no mechanical, electrical, gas or building envelope components may request an exemption
from this requirement. Please provide exemption requests to your University Planner. An example of
a completed GHG emissions table is included for reference on the following page.
1. In the table below, cells A1 through A3, insert the current annual utility usage for the
building(s) affected by the project (Note: new construction = 0). In cells B1 through B3, insert
the projected annual utility usage after project completion. Calculate the net change and insert
in column C, thus B - A = C. Multiply column C times column D to calculate the change in CO₂
emissions and insert in column E, thus C x D = E. Energy efficiency projects will result in a net
reduction and thus a negative value in columns C and E. For new construction projects there is
no current utility usage, so the projected usage will be a positive number and equal to the net
change.
2. Insert 1990 and 2006 GHG emissions from the “CSU 1990-2006 Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Report by Campus”:
(http://calstate.edu/cpdc/sustainability/documents/GHG-1990-2006-by-Campus.xls) into
cells E4 and E5. Take the sum of E1 through E3 and insert that in the “Net Change due to
project” cell E6. Then calculate the total emissions by adding (or subtracting) the “Net Change
due to project” to the “2006 GHG Emissions” value (E5 + E6). New construction will typically
result in an increased campus total.
