Energy and Water Conservation
Energy Usage:• Energy and water efficiency is much more cost-
effective than installing solar panels.• 2006: OUSD began working with local utility to
get better data on energy usage.– Used data to initiate a series of investment-grade
energy efficiency audits.– Action is integrated with deferred maintenance and
capital construction programs.
• 2007: OUSD adopted a formal Energy and Water Conservation Plan.

Green Buildings
Sustainability and High Performance Schools Policy:
• Adopted in 2007.• Establishes California’s Collaborative for High
Performance Schools (“CHPS”) as green building standard for all modernization and new construction.
• OUSD expects to receive approximately $300,000 in additional State matching grants for CHPS projects in 2010 -2013.

Renewable Energy
U.S. Department of Energy Solar America Grant:• Oakland is part of $500,000 grant • Will lead to a master plan for solar implementation.Bond Opportunities:• $39 million in CREBs, Clean Renewable Energy Bonds.
Must be drawn down by 2012 • $24 million in QSCB, Qualified School Construction
Bonds. Must be drawn down by 2011• School Investment Pooled Securities Program
opportunity: save ~ $3.8m on $30 million draw down.

Energy & Cost Reduction from Solar
RENEWABLE ENERGY TARGET = 30%
Electric Energy Consumed – All Campuses 2009 29,712,000 kWhs
Proposed Multi-Campus Solar Generation* 8, 949,000 kWhs
Percentage of Energy From Solar 30 %
UTILITY COST OFF-SET = 42%
Total PG&E Electric Bill – All Campuses 2009 $ 4,369,000
Estimated Bill Savings from Solar Generation $ 1,942,000
Percentage of PG&E Bill Reduced From Solar 44 %

OUSD Grounds
Enhance Utilization at Reduced Costs
• 2010 Garden Policy encourages community- sponsored school gardens. – 60 gardens K-12– 15 farmer’s markets at
school sites, with 10 more this year
• Collaboration between staff and community/parents focusing on sustainable landscape techniques.

Sustainable Custodial Practices
Green CleaningIn 2008 Transitioned to environmentally safe cleaning products/supplies:
– Hand Dryers– Hand Soap with hands free dispensers– Disinfectant, Floor Cleaner– Glass Cleaner, Can Liners
Recycling• Diverting 41% waste• Savings ~ $50,000 per month district-wide• 50% recycling – could save an additional $20,000/month• 24 of 91 sites have organic waste accounts• Recycled content toilet paper, seat covers, and hand towels.
Green Gloves summit:• October 8, 2010• All custodial staff• Seminar on successful green cleaning programs, including one within
Oakland

Bottom Line
• Greening public schools creates an opportunity to improve the health and educational setting for students, teachers, and staff.
• Based on actual improvements in design in green schools and on very substantial data on productivity and test performance, a 3–5 percent improvement in learning ability and test scores in green schools appears reasonable and conservative.
• Green initiatives can provide benefits to the financial bottom line.
• As educators, it is our responsibility to train the next generation of environmental stewards.
• As we implement our new Strategic Plan, Oakland will be working to incorporate sustainability more deeply in our district.

CREBs provide the bondholder with a tax credit in lieu of an interest payment; essentially the equivalent of a zero-interest loan
•REQUIREMENTS: Projects must generate electricity and must be created from clean and/or renewable sources.
•TERM: CREBs funds must be spent within 5 years.
•TAX CREDIT: The tax credit is set by the U.S. Treasury, daily, and for each annual payment year.
•MATURITY: The maximum maturity for the CREB will be set by the U.S. Treasury
Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) 39.3 Million
