Climate Scoop

In September 2018, the Student Resource Building (SRB) received a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification for Existing Buildings from the U.S. Green Building Council.

This year, UCSB has four CNI Fellows focusing on transportation, carbon offsets, campus resiliency, and student engagement.

Not only did I get to learn more about green building sustainability and get hands-on project management skills with a “real world” project, it also got me interested in pursuing a career in building sustainability.

To ensure student participation in the Carbon Neutrality Initiative (CNI), the Bonnie Reiss Carbon Neutrality Initiative Fellows Program was started in 2015, which funds a student engagement fellow as well as two project based fellows.
