Highlights of 2010-2011 Academic Year
A major focus of the Sustainability Committee was to maintain the momentum that was
established during the Committee’s first three years of existence on the SUNY Fredonia
campus. Throughout the 2010-2011 academic year, the various sub committees continued to
make consistent progress in many areas.
The campus had its best year in competing in the RecycleMania competition and improved the
Go Green web site: http://www.fredonia.edu/gogreen, the campus sustainability partners
program continued to grow and develop and much more emphasis was placed on campus wide
recycling. Throughout the fall semester, the Public Relations committee continued to publish a
weekly half page “Sustainability Comment” article on sustainability topics of interest to the
campus in The Leader; as a cost saving measure, the frequency was reduced in the spring
semester to one ad in each of the months of February, March and April. Copies of these articles
are included in the appendix of this report.
Other highlights of the Sustainability Committee’s work during the past year include:

Fredonia faculty and staff members with curriculum development and assessment tools
for sustainability education, but it also attracted teachers and administrators from other
Western New York universities and high schools.
Development of Sustainability Options for the New General Education Program—In
response to the campus’s call for new visions for the general education program, the
committee created a range of potential models for integrating sustainability into the
campus core curriculum. These suggestions were drafted into a formal report, which
was submitted to the General Education Committee.
Continued Development of an Environmental Studies Program—Having developed an
Environmental Studies program the previous year, the committee presented the
program to the Dean of Arts & Sciences and all relevant Department Chairs. The
program was met with some opposition, mostly with regard to the potential
employment of the majors and budgetary concerns. In response, the committee
compiled a substantial reference database of information about the growing need for
Environmental Studies majors. Currently we are in conversations with the Associate Vice
President of Academic Affairs to explore the possibility of introducing the program
under Interdisciplinary Studies. We also began to develop additional options such as
minors and certificates in Environmental Studies.
STARS Report—Subcommittee co-chairs drafted the “Curriculum,” “Research” and
“Public Engagement” sections of the STARS (Sustainability, Tracking, Assessment &
Rating System) Report, which the entire committee will review and use as a baseline to
measure growth in curricular and engagement offerings.
Community Events and Educational Outreach—Working with the FACE Center and
selected community partners, subcommittee members helped organize and participate
in a range of sustainability events, including Greystone Nature Preserve’s Aqua Day, a
CFL give-away event at the Fredonia Farmers Market, the 2010 International Coastal
Cleanup, 350-Day educational displays and activities, a February community
environmental film series, the Beehive Design Collective’s “The True Cost of Coal”
exhibition, and spring tree-planting events. Drs. Jabot and Mason also delivered a
keynote lecture and workshop on sustainability education for Jamestown Community
College’s Faculty Development Day.
Creation of New Sustainability Courses—In Fall 2010, Dr. Marafiote designed and
taught a new honors seminar on “Environmental Communication,” which included an
innovative “No Impact” experiment and public presentations of student research.
Additionally, Dr. Mason taught a newly developed CCC course on “Chemistry and the
Environment” while Professor Jeanne Frerichs offered a special topics seminar on “Food
and Culture.”
Campus Sustainability Film and Events Series—For the spring 2011 semester, Dr. Jabot
organized a “Science in the Public Interest” film series along with the rich and innovative
“Sustainability Saturdays” series of events. Both series provide members of the campus

Earth Week/Sustainability Series Subcommittee
The Earth Week Subcommittee is charged with organizing a series of events centered around
the spirit of Earth Day (April 22nd). The goals of the Earth Week series include:
 Increasing awareness of the breadth of sustainability issues
 Promoting active participation of faculty members and students in the planning and
execution of personally meaningful sustainability events
 Educating the campus community, as well as the community-at-large, about some of the
most prominent environmental and social justice issues
 Encouraging our entire campus community to be actively engaged in making our
campus and, therefore, our society more sustainable
 Reaching out to the larger community to tap local expertise and to co-create models of
sustainable practices
 Increasing the visibility of the Sustainability Committee
 Showcasing all that our campus is already doing to be more sustainable, as well as our
future goals
SUNY Fredonia hosted its first ever Earth Week series of events in 2008 primarily as a voice to
the then newly created Sustainability Committee. Now in its fourth year, the Earth Week series
has become one of the largest and most prominent annual events on the SUNY Fredonia
campus. While the first two Earth Week series of events were very successful, we took our
community engagement and educational outreach activities to a whole new level with Earth
Week 2010 through our collaboration with the SUNY FACE (Fredonia Academic Community
Engagement) Center. This led to the development of 42 events occurring in only 11 days!
Given the popularity of the Earth Week series and the plethora of campus-community
collaborations, the Earth Week series for 2011 grew into the spring Sustainability Series, which
occurred throughout the Spring 2011 semester. This growth in our sustainability-focused events
also highlights the simple fact that becoming more aware and engaged citizens in order to
enable a sustainable tomorrow is not just something we should be focused on one day a year,
or one week a year, but every day. This concept is further highlighted by our motto for this
year: WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
The Sustainability/Earth Week series is organized through the efforts of the subcommittee
chair: Dr. Sherri A. Mason, Associate Professor of Chemistry, Coordinator of the Environmental
Sciences Program, Sustainability Coordinator of the SUNY FACE center, and one of the founding
members of the Sustainability Committee. Owing to the extensive outreach of the
Sustainability/Earth Week series, this “subcommittee” did not consist of one governing body.

teaching and incorporation of sustainability ideals and practices into all aspects of campus life.
This ultimately requires us to:
 Continue to seek out collaborations from all across campus
 Make certain key events annual events in order to ease the organization and sustain
awareness within the community
 Learn from our past mistakes
 Encourage more collaboration with the community at-large, including (but not limited
to) schools, environmentally focused citizen’s groups, and locally engaged citizen’s
groups
 Incorporate more vendors and displays

Energy Conservation Subcommittee
The Energy Conservation Subcommittee is pleased to provide the following overview of the
subcommittee: The subcommittee is charged with promoting, creating and identifying
opportunities to conserve energy on campus. This includes procedures, guidelines, projects,
and actions that would reduce the campus overall energy consumption.
When measuring energy usage per square foot, the campus has been successful in reducing
energy consumption each year since 2003. In 2003, the campus was consuming 169,291 BTU’s
per square foot. That number dropped to 105,496 in 2010. A drop of over 30%. Much of the
drop can be attributed to the de-centralization of the central heating plant.
The energy conservation committee consists of the following members:

Highlights for the Energy Conservation Subcommittee include:
 A project to upgrade the lighting in the Athletic Complex has been approved by
NYSERDA using American Reinvestment and Recovery Stimulus funds. Over 200,000
kilowatt hours in electrical consumption will be reduced annually by this project, saving
the college over $30,000 annually. This project is to take place this summer.
 A project was completed installing occupancy sensors and timers to control the lighting
in the basement of Jewett Hall.
 Expanded the use of the existing Building Automation System which allows for remote
temperature settings, staging of street lighting, and other building functions.
 Continued last year’s program in the residence halls whereby students can exchange
their incandescent bulbs from their personal lamps with a compact fluorescent bulb.
 Continued the current practice of setting room temperatures based upon information
received from the Campus Events Management System.
 A project was completed in the computer center that rerouted the air flow patterns
under the floor. This made for more efficient use of the existing air-conditioning
system.

Green Building Subcommittee
The Building Subcommittee is pleased to provide the following overview of the subcommittee.
The mission of the Sustainability Building Subcommittee (SBS) of SUNY Fredonia is to promote
environmentally responsible design, planning, construction and operation of the built
environment through education, outreach, networking and building system collaborations.
Members of the subcommittee include:
Markus Kessler
Paul Agle
Facilities Planning
Facilities Planning
Subcommittee Chair
The vision of the subcommittee is to achieve a campus built environment, in which sustainable
practices have become mainstream.
Goals of this subcommittee are to develop and maintain campus “sustainable design”
guidelines and to promote environmental stewardship through:
 Preservation of natural resources
 Cost effective green solutions
 Building construction waste reductions and recycling
Also, to Promote SBS as a respected source of information with regard to a sustainable built
environment and to help SUNY Fredonia be recognized as a leader in “Green Building Design. ”
Accomplishments from the past year include:
 This past year the subcommittee has conducted research and gathered information
that will help in providing guidance to cost effectively reduce the environmental
impacts of new building construction and renovations. From the information gathered
several benefits of using sustainable design include:
o Selection of sustainable construction materials and products by evaluating
several characteristic such as reused and recycled content, durability, longevity,
and local production
o Minimize the electric loads from lighting, equipment, and appliances
o Consultants using computer modeling to optimize design of electrical and
mechanical systems and the building shell
o Embracing co-creative design processes where every voice is heard.
Collaboration with system consultants, engineers, and other experts happens in
early in the design process. Designers are also listening to the voices of the end
users.
 The subcommittee continues working with the State University Construction Fund to
establish contractor guidelines/requirements for sustainability during construction


The subcommittee’s efforts continued to (appropriately) focus on larger projects this
past year, i.e. Science Technology Building, Mason Hall Rehearsal Room Addition, SUNY
Fredonia Townhouse Project, Williams Center Rehab Project and Rockefeller Arts
Center Addition. There are many reasons for this, including the following:
o Larger projects consume larger amounts of energy, which have compounding
effects on campus utilities, environmental impacts and long-term costs
o The public nature of larger projects invites public (campus and beyond) concerns
and/or opposition. A green building program helps the project team evaluate
impacts, and improve public support.
o Larger projects have experienced project management teams (SUCF, in-house
and consultants) who can successfully integrate the challenges of sustainability
into the many other challenges facing successful projects

Additional research by the subcommittee has found that a "green" building places a
high priority on health, environmental and resource conservation performance over its
life-cycle. These new priorities expand and complement the classical building design
concerns: economy, utility, durability, and delight. Green design emphasizes a number
of new environmental, resource and occupant health concerns:
o Protect and restore local air, water, soils, local plant life and local wildlife
o Use of materials that are sustainably harvested
o Conserve non-renewable energy and scarce materials
o Reduce human exposure to noxious materials
o Support pedestrians, bicycles, mass transit and other alternatives to fossilfueled vehicles

The subcommittee is hoping to develop a culture and find a balance between
environmental considerations and economic constraints by using the principles of
sustainable design that include:
o Understanding Place
o Connecting with Nature
o Understanding Natural Processes
o Understanding Environmental Impact
o Embracing Co-creative Design Processes
o Understanding People

Commissioning buildings is the process that starts at the time the building is in design
and ends when building construction is completed. However, the future goal is to
perform continuous commissioning throughout the life of the building.

Members of the subcommittee have been involved with the SUNY Fredonia Master
Plan related to various sustainability objectives from building to transportation. The
final Master Plan Report is scheduled to be submitted April 2011.
Goals for 2011-2012 include:
 The main goal for 2011-2012 is to continue with developing sustainable guidelines
related to building materials and contraction practices
 Continue working closely with designers to insure that all new construction meets the
state standards for green buildings such as the development of an energy modeling of
each new building in the design phase so that the building can be modeled against the
performance requirements and the design can be modified if required
 Will continue to explore new sustainable building design and elements as well as to
insure that the campus continues to promote environmental stewardship within the
building process
 Monitor the development of other sustainability and energy efficiency construction
guidelines, and adopt best practices regarding sustainable building design and
construction as they develop

Goal 4: Our student leaders, Ms. Lauren Piche and Ms. Katie Tyczynski, have
spearheaded numerous community clean-ups that have benefited both the campus and
the larger Fredonia Community. Specifically, the Trash Crawl which raised public
awareness and responsibility regarding students that trash the streets during weekend
bar crawls. The Trash Crawl was followed up by a public display of all the trash collected
shown on campus to further educate students about their impacts on the environment.
Other clean-ups include the Canadaway Creek Clean-Up, Point Gratiot Beach Clean-Up
and Fredonia-Dunkirk Spring Cleaning, which have benefited the local region in cleaning
up our communities and bettering our environment.
As we embark on the Fall 2011 semester, it is imperative that our group continue to educate
and recruit new students as well as partner with existing student organizations. The Campus
Climate Challenge and student run – Department of Environmental Affairs have established
sustainable outreach that has been embraced by other campus groups. By partnering with
other groups, we will ensure the sustainability message is heard and practiced by many.
