They include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Being one of the first campuses to join the Billion Dollar Green Challenge, committing to spend $400,000 on sustainable initiatives in five years. Since joining the challenge in 2013, the university has installed drought-tolerant plants, drip irrigation, LED lighting and upgraded air conditioning units.<\/li>\n<li>The creation of a Sustainable Campus Consortium, which oversees and manages the university\u2019s green revolving fund, accumulated from sustainability savings. In 2016, the consortium challenged students in the residence halls to reduce power consumption, resulting in a 14 percent electricity reduction.<\/li>\n<li>Requiring sustainability and environmental problem-solving instruction as a life science general education requirement and introducing a minor in sustainability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cMost sustainability awards are geared toward one single project so it was wonderful to find a popular organization such as Facilities Maintenance Decisions magazine willing to recognize and honor our efforts,\u201d Beebe said.<\/p>\n<p>The award will be presented at the National Facilities Management &amp; Technology Vegas Conference and Expo. Beebe, who plans to attend the expo to accept the award, said he will also be participating with other recipients on a panel called \u201cAchieving Excellence in Maintenance Operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He has been asked by the magazine to be on a podcast for a feature called \u201cManagement Track,\u201d where he will discuss his career and provide advice on moving up in the profession.<\/p>\n<p>The award is the latest honor the 每日大赛 has received for its green initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Princeton Review named the university in its annual Guide to Green Colleges for the fifth consecutive year. And Vista La\u00a0Verne residence hall received gold certification through the U.S. Green Building Council\u2019s Leadership in Energy &amp; Environmental Design (LEED) in 2013, the first such honor to be given to any building in the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 每日大赛 will be honored with an achievement award from Facility Maintenance Decisions
