The UC Office of the President (UCOP) is the systemwide headquarters of the University of California that manages UC\u2019s fiscal and business operations and supports the academic and research missions across its campuses, labs and health systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UCOP owns and leases spaces primarily in California, and also owns a building in Washington, D.C. (UCDC). In spring 2023, UCOP executed the second phase of the Return to Work program, with in-office anchor days for staff increasing to two days per week in the Oakland headquarters and other locations similarly ramping up in-person operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UCOP continues to strive to improve the sustainability of its internal operations and model best practices. This year, two additional locations, 1100 Broadway and Morgan House, enrolled in clean energy purchasing programs, including the UC Clean Power Program and the East Bay Community Energy\u2019s Renewable 100 rate schedule. More than one water leak was identified and remedied in 1111 Franklin, and in the future, UC Path and UCDC will further sub-meter their potable water infrastructure to more accurately identify discrepancies in consumption year over year. Additionally, a new composting program was launched at UCDC to divert the organic waste produced in the student apartments to local compost facilities.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

Optimizing Clean Energy Use at the UCPath Center<\/a><\/h3>\n

During winter 2022\u201323, the UCPath Center modeled decarbonization strategies to achieve a 90% reduction in natural gas consumption with only a 5% increase in electricity use compared to the previous year. This is attributed to the use of underfloor electric resistance zone reheat coils and fans to supply the heating capacity typically provided by gas-powered rooftop units. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
