Much of the year has focused on the shift back to in-person operations with multiple workshops, a campus residence hall competition and extensive outreach efforts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UCSB\u2019s founding director of campus sustainability, Mo Lovegreen, who had led the campus\u2019s sustainability efforts since 2002, <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainability.ucsb.edu\/news\/sowing-seeds-sustainability\">retired in June 2022<\/a>. UCSB appointed Katie Maynard as the new acting director. Ms. Maynard joined UCSB\u2019s Sustainability Program in 2005 and received the UC Systemwide Sustainability Champion Award in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n<div  class=\"theme-block wp-block-theme-blocks-read-more \"><a data-label=\"Read More about Sustainability at UC Santa Barbara\" data-labelless=\"Read Less about Sustainability at UC Santa Barbara\" class=\"label\" href=\"#read-more-about-sustainability-at-uc-santa-barbara\">Read More about Sustainability at UC Santa Barbara<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<p>UC Santa Barbara began construction of the new Interactive Learning Pavilion, which is on track to be the campus\u2019s first major all-electric building. The power supplying the building will be from the campus solar photovoltaic systems as well as from the power supplied by the UC Clean Power, which means the building will be carbon neutral in its operation. It will receive cooling from the campus chilled water loop and will also extract heat from the high-temperature side of the loop using a water-source heat pump. The building\u2019s operational controls will maximize energy efficiency by resetting when classrooms are unoccupied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fiscal year 2021\u201322, the UC Santa Barbara Natural Reserve System directors partnered with the UCSB PACES program to conduct a sustainability assessment of the seven UC Santa Barbara Natural Reserves. The team has developed a list of prioritized projects and a matching list of potential grants that could fund those projects. During the year, the team also submitted a grant to the campus\u2019s Green Initiative Fund and secured an additional grant for electrification of landscaping equipment at Coal Oil Point Reserve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group location-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

of UC Santa Barbara&#8217;s total food and beverage spend was considered sustainable and 37.7% was considered plant based. Due to the review of the plant-based food definition, some items that were previously counted toward the plant base goal have been removed. Additionally, supply chain issues and staffing shortages affected the types of items purchased. The data for this year does not include a full year of operations. Most dining units were not open at full capacity for many months. One of the dining commons (Ortega) was repurposed from an all-you-care-to-eat dine-in facility to a strictly-to-go dining commons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wider infographic\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Green building<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column content is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<p>UC Santa Barbara continues to increase LEED projects on campus, with all new buildings required to meet a minimum LEED Gold standard.
