SUSTAINABILITY

SU STA I N A BI L I T Y

BLUE & GOLD MAKE GREEN As a LEED Platinum certified building, the Luskin Conference Center and Hotel has taken ambitious steps toward integrating sustainability into all aspects of our facility and operations. In line with the University of California’s comprehensive sustainability policy, we have adopted sustainability commitments and goals in the following areas: • • • • • •

Clean energy and climate protection Sustainable water systems Recycling and waste management Environmentally preferable purchasing Sustainable food service Sustainable transportation

S USTA I N A B I LI T Y

LEAN, GREEN ARCHITECTURAL MACHINE We use the latest design/construction practices and technologies to conserve energy and water and to maximize the use of recycled and renewable materials. As a result, the facility achieved the coveted Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification. LEED is the most widely used green building rating system in the world, and the certification process provides independent verification of a building’s sustainable features. LEED is the triple bottom line in action — benefiting people, planet and profit through the creation of resource-efficient, high-performing, healthy and cost-effective buildings. The Luskin Conference Center and Hotel is one of more than 30 LEED certified buildings on campus, and features a number of green building elements: • A full 10% of the building materials are comprised of recycled materials and 10% were procured from within 500 miles. • All materials used in the interior of the building are low volatile organic compounds (VOCs). • Half of the wood used is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified from sustainably managed forests. • The construction team diverted approximately 90% of construction waste from landfill through the use of advanced recycling techniques.

LIGHTS. WATER. ACTION! We have surpassed California’s stringent Title 24 energy code standards by more than 20% through strategies such as LED lighting, occupancy sensors, natural ventilation, high-efficiency mechanical systems, cool white roofing and high-performance windows.

SU STA I N A BI L I T Y

A portion of our electricity is generated on-site at the UCLA Co-Generation Plant that is partially fueled by carbon neutral bio-gas. UCLA is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2025 through conservation, efficiency, renewable energy and emission offsets. In an effort to reduce water use, all guest rooms feature highefficiency sinks, showers and toilets. Our water-efficient landscape irrigation and plumbing fixtures yield 30% savings over baseline code requirements. Additionally, linen-free meeting spaces and linen reuse programs support water conservation. Please help conserve energy and water by using these resources responsibly.

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT We strive to be a zero-waste facility through the proper sorting and management of all waste materials, thus eliminating the need to send waste to a landfill. Recycling: All plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum and metal items. Compost: All leftover food, food-soiled paper products and compostable room service containers. Trash: True trash comprises a very small portion of our waste stream: personal hygiene items, chip bags, foil-lined wrappers. Please support this effort by sorting waste materials into the proper waste bins: recycling, compost or trash.

S USTA I N A B I LI T Y

SMART TODAY FOR A BRILLIANT TOMORROW We are committed to identifying and procuring sustainable supplies, ranging from sustainable bath amenities to Green Sealcertified cleaning chemicals. We are proud to offer biodegradable, plant-based shower amenities that are paraben and sulfate-free and are never tested on animals. The tubes contain 40% recycled plastic and the cartons are made with 70% recycled materials.

ETHICAL EATS Our in-house restaurant, Plateia, strives to source fresh, seasonal ingredients, with a minimum of 20% coming from sustainable, socially responsible and humane sources. Plateia uses a defined list of criteria to identify sustainable ingredients: • • • • •

Local — grown within 500 miles of campus Environmentally friendly USDA certified organic Fair trade certified Humane — raised cage-free or free-range, for example

GREEN MEANS GO We participate in the UCLA sustainable transportation program, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with transport to, from and around the campus. The program features campus shuttles and a bike sharing program. Our guests also have access to two car-sharing Zipcars. Please inquire at the front desk for more information on how to take advantage of these sustainable transportation options.

PERSONAL SAFETY • Don’t answer your hotel room door without verifying who it is. If a person you are not expecting claims to be an employee, dial 0 from your room phone for the front desk and ask if someone is supposed to have access to your room and for what purpose. • Close the door securely whenever you are in your room and use all of the locking devices provided. • Check to see that any sliding glass doors or windows and any connecting room doors are locked. • When returning to the hotel late in the evening, use the main entrance. Be observant and look around before entering, and while in, parking lots. •

Don’t invite strangers to your room.

• Don’t needlessly display guest room keys in public or leave them on restaurant tables, in recreation facilities or other places where they can be easily stolen. •

Do not leave valuables in your vehicle.

• Place all valuables inside your in-room safe. • If you see any suspicious activity, report it to the front desk immediately.
