The Best Practice Awards highlight successful and cost-effective projects on UC and CSU campuses that implement green building technologies, sustainable design strategies, and energy-efficient operations. The awards are presented each summer at the annual UC/CSU/CCC Sustainability Conference. The Best Practice case studies showcase each award-winning project, making the strategies and achievements available as an educational tool to assist all campuses in achieving energy-efficiency and sustainability goals.

The Best Practice Awards are funded by the UC/CSU/IOU Energy Efficiency Partnership Program, a state-wide partnership between the UC and CSU campuses and California’s four large investor- owned utilities. The program’s goals include accomplishing immediate and long-term peak energy and demand savings, and establishing a permanent framework for comprehensive energy management programs at the campuses.
