The Campus Energy & Sustainability Podcast explores innovations and challenges in sustainability for higher education and corporate campuses. This episode focuses on the University of Virginia (UVA)’s Delta Force, a self-funded building energy efficiency and sustainability program. Note: UVA’s program is not a P3, but it functions the same way a P3 program would, and sheds light on something schools across the country are increasingly exploring.
In this episode, Andrea Trimble, UVA’s Office for Sustainability Director, and Jesse Warren, UVA’s Sustainability Program Manager for Buildings & Operations, discuss how the school has taken a $400,000 seed fund to yield $42M in energy-related cost savings. Host Dave Karlsgodt, director, Brailsford & Dunlavey, guides a conversation into the nuts and bolts of UVA’s program, and more generally into sustainability programs and collaborations with city and regional governments.
