About the Best Practice Awards

The Best Practice Awards highlight successful projects on California campuses that implement sustainable strategies, innovations and operations. Winning teams receive awards at the annual California Higher Education Sustainability Conference. The case studies are documented here to provide examples that may assist all campuses in achieving their energy and sustainability goals. Funding for Best Practices is provided by the UC/CSU/IOU Energy Efficiency Partnership.
