CCCs recognize the need for environmental and economic sustainability and
social equity – the “Three E’s”
Legislation and regulations driving changes in how institutions operate
CCC Board of Governors Energy and Sustainability Policy
CCCs are the natural incubator for educating students for the Green Economy
Decentralized structure and disparate resources and expertise at the CCCs
make comprehensive planning difficult
The Sustainability Template has been developed as a resource to all CCC
Districts meet these challenges!
What is it?
A collaboration between the CCC
Chancellor’s Office, Citrus College and
Newcomb Anderson McCormick, funded
by a California Energy Commission grant
Provides a “roadmap” and “toolkit” to
help guide the California Community
Colleges to a more Sustainable future

Create a “Sustainability Template” that is designed with enough flexibility to be
utilized at Community Colleges throughout the state

Comprehensive and address energy, transportation, solid waste/recycling, water
issues, green curriculum, green purchasing, and provides recommendations for
Climate Action Planning.

The Financial Solutions Element is a non-resource (no
energy savings claimed) program, that provides
Nonresidential customers additional options for
financing their energy efficiency projects.
This Element will be offered in conjunction with and
through other incentive and rebate programs to
stimulate and enable higher levels of customer
participation.
RCx is a systematic process for identifying lessthan-optimal performance in a facility’s existing
equipment and control systems and making
necessary repairs or enhancements to save energy.
RCx projects typically identify multiple
energy efficiency measures with low SPBs
RCx is a Pilot Project in SCE territory
