The university plans as referenced in climate action plan. LMU will continue to increase efficiencies, reduce consumption, promote conservation and implement new energy policies. The university should plan to increase its use of renewable energy from about current 12 percent or so with solar and offsets to about 30 percent onsite 70% off site renewables and energy storage to mitigate the generation of the total campus electricity consumption by 2030. Additionally through retrofits, new tech, and awareness we can reduce energy use by 20% per square foot by 2030. Central Plant motors shall include variable frequency drivers to adjust electrical motor speed based on demand; • Major building renovations and additions shan be integrated into the Campus Energy Management System, which is a set of computer-aided tools used to monitor, control, and optimize the performance of building HVAC and lighting systems; Future cooling loads shall be met using thermal energy storage, Or an additional energy efficient chiller, or other comparable storage technologies; • New and replacement buildings with flat roofs shall use white reflective material or comparable heat rejecting material on the building roofs; • New appliances shall meet or exceed the minimum efficiency levels mandated in the California Code of Regulations; • All irrigation shall use reclaimed water by Project buildout; • All irrigation shall use automatic irrigation timers and at least 50 percent of the campus's non-turf areas shall include drought-tolerant or native plantings; • All new and renovated buildings shall incorporate water conservation measures such as ultra-low-flush water closets and urinals, low-flow shower heads, and low-flow faucet aerators; • All new construction shall be designed to the 2008 LEED Certified criteria (or an equivalent criteria) or better; • Buildings shall be well sealed to prevent outside air from infiltrating and increasing interior space-conditioning loads; • Buildings shall incorporate thermal insulation in walls and ceilings; • Window systems shall be designed to reduce thermal gain and loss, thus, reducing cooling loads during warm weather and heating loads during cool weather; and • High-intensity-discharge (HID) lamps, light-emitting diode (LED), or other energy efficient lighting shall be installed for all outdoor lighting to reduce electricity consumption. All electricity purchased by LMU is supplied by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). As LADWP continues to add renewable energy to its mix, LMU will benefit from being able to purchase cleaner energy. In addition, LMU will continue to increase efficiencies, reduce consumption, promote conservation and implement new energy policies.

Set comprehensive purchasing policies on sustainability by 2020 for standardization across campus as referenced by the climate action plan Business Services is working closely with Office Max to highlight availability of environmentally preferable office products, and developing a paper purchasing policy for the university to increase use of post-consumer waste recycled paper across the campus. All LMU Ricoh Multi-Function Devices are Energy Star rated. Recycled toner cartridges are now in standard use for all campus printers. Ricoh multi-function copiers are equipped with energy-saving settings allowing them to power down at night, conserving more energy than traditional desktop printers. C-Store has now gone bagless! Plastic bags, which account for 60-80% of marine debris, have now been eliminated, and students can purchase an eco-friendly reusable bag or bring their own. LMU recently signed a contract with Sparklett's to install water filtration systems across the entire system in an effort to reduce the amount of bottled water being trucked onto campus and the harmful emissions associated with the transportation of water: 2,000 reusable aluminum bottles will be distributed to faculty and staff to encourage reduction of bottled water consumption and excessive use of plastics. All University equipment purchases must be Energy Star-rated. Energy Star is a program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency (for further details please see http://www.energystar.gov). EPA offers a proven strategy for superior energy management with tools and resources to help each step of the way. Based on the successful practices of Energy Star partners, purchasing Energy Star-rated equipment will improve the University's energy and financial performance while distinguishing our institution as an environmental leader.

UNPRI The agreement is the result of a two-year exploration of responsible investing on campus, which included active engagement among trustees and administrators, student groups, and the university’s Jesuit community. LMU is the first Jesuit Catholic university to become a signatory in the United States. From this 2 year plan by 2021 set goals regarding responsible investing. The following consists of a brief description of the financial mechanisms that LMU will begin to consider: 1) Improve efficiencies of our various infrastructure systems to reduce consumption 2) Minimize waste across campus to save precious resources 3) Expand our Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) program 4) Invest funds saved from sustainability programs into new sustainability projects 5) Implement a “TGIF” (The Green Initiative Fund)that is student focused 6) Establish a Revolving Loan Fund to increase funding available for new projects 7) Organize fund raising events and programs for our sustainability program 8) Coordinate with various university departments to identify external sources of funding 9) Provide education to the campus community to increase participation in green initiatives Purchase renewable energy credits and carbon offsets to mitigate our impacts Through this diversified approach , LMU will be well positioned to invest financial resources in a sustainable manner. These strategies will enable the university to s ave money and resources while also improving human health and reducing LMU’s impact on climate change.

The Burns Rec Center measures health/well-being sustainability with various instruments. Our facility is unique in that you must swipe your Onecard in order to enter the facility. Therefore, usage is measured by the statistics and reports we pull each week and year for our annual report. On average, we have between 7,000-8,000 visits a week into our facility. Over the course of a year we have over 250,000 visits and over 7,000 unique visitors. With our high usage numbers, we do not set goals when it comes to increasing gym usage in general. We always want to increase participation and target those who do not use the facility, and are working to obtain more accurate tools to measure the specific usage. Specific programs such as intramurals, pool use or lounging, club sports, group fitness classes track their participants and set different goals than the overall facility.

yes increase research, sustainable dance, our very mission statement of the university and learning outcome for all undergraduate students includes sustainability goals and knowledge.

please see below.

Strengthen the university’s commitment to stewardship, ethical sustainability, environmental justice and human resilience.
