Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System
• Selected as official sustainability assessment tool for UCCS
• Over 100 schools already signed up
• How does this affect purchasing?
• Increases demand for “green” products
LEED, Green Seal cleaning products, EPEAT electronics, Low VOC paints, adhesives, carpets, LED lights, Recycled content paper Re-usable to go containers, Snow and ice removal, Integrated Pest Management programs, Lighting sensors, Recycled content napkins, Food
Greening of State Government
By 2012 from baseline of 2006
20% reduction in energy use, 10% water use,
20% in paper use, 25% fleet fuel,
Zero waste in operations and construction
Paper Case Study
• Strategic Purchasing Agreement with Staples for office supplies
• UCCS Library – branded virgin paper, not Staples, $4.05/ream
• Procurement Services Center oversight on campus purchases
• Staples $2.86 for virgin paper, $3.14 for 30% recycled, $3.65 for 100%
• Calculated savings for semester for switching to 30% recycled = $800
Carpet Tiles Case StudyStrategic Purchasing Agreement - Interface
Savings 20% Environmental Attributes – Not just about who sells recycled carpet
Comprehensive take back policy Methane from landfill to power factory Aggressive reuse and carbon reduction goals Tactile technology to eliminate glues and reduce materials

Crafting Sustainable Culture Cuts across all silos Procurement has a major role -
from products we purchase (source & quality) to the price we pay
Sustainable products are often higher quality, have more longevity and save money in the long run
How do we get the word out? Has become a function of best
practices within the facilities management group
Research One: 600k Biomedical Research
Facility, EUI of 450 (kBtu/sf) Energy conservation
measures have begun Strategic sourcing will
decrease total project costs and decrease payback period
Once completed, projects will save 15% of total campus energy use and cut 10% of greenhouse gas emissions
