The California Center for Sustainable Energy recognized Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Stephen Relyea and UCSD’s transportation department for contributions to energy efficiency at the annual San Diego Excellence in Energy awards ceremony last week.
Relyea’s achievements include the implementation of several sustainable technologies and the formation of the climate solutions work group ‘mdash; a committee comprised of faculty, staff and students charged with the development of campus energy projects.
‘UCSD has made increasingly more impressive achievements in energy-efficient building construction and maintenance, electricity generation and alternative transportation,’ Executive Director of CCSE Irene Stillings said in a statement.
Director of Parking and Transportation Brian d’Autremont accepted an award recognizing his department for substantial energy savings and reduced carbon dioxide emissions. Alternative transportation ‘mdash; such as the free bus zones and the vanpool, transit and Coaster programs ‘mdash; all contributed to the department’s achievement.
