ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIC PLAN BACKGROUND

This document presents the 2010 2012 Economic and Environmental Sustainability StrategicPlan (the Plan) for Balboa Park (the Park), San Diego, California. It is compiled by the BalboaPark Cultural Partnership (Partnership) as a resource for all private and pubic entities within thePark, as well as the City of San Diego and other supporting groups. The Partnership is thecollaborative body and collective voice for arts, science, and cultural institutions in Balboa Park.Leveraging collective vision and resources, the 24-member Partnership promotes efficiency,innovation and excellence in professional practice to enrich our member institutions, theBalboa Park experience and the San Diego regions cultural community.

One of the Partnerships four strategic plan goals by 2012 includes an initiative to increase theeconomic and environmental sustainability of its members and Balboa Park. This Planformalizes and expands on the previously developed Environmental Sustainability element of

the Partnerships 2009 2012 Strategic Plan. Identified strategies include: Action 1:Establishing benchmarks for, coordinating, and monitoring the progress of all

green projects pertinent to member institutions and Balboa Park

Action 2:Serving as the recognized hub for information exchange and sharing(internally and externally) related to green projects in the Park

Action 3:Providing education and training for cultural institutions and the public (incoordination with BPCP members) to advance green projects benefiting the Park andregion

Action 4:Helping prioritize green projects affecting BPCP member institutions and thePark, and attract financial and in-kind support to complete them

This Plan will:

Identify energy efficiency and conservation goals Formalize our sustainability strategies Identify sustainability focus areas Detail our informational programs Identify funding

This effort will result in an enhanced collaborative program which will save money and lowerthe carbon footprint of Balboa Park. A key group of internal and external stakeholders, BalboaParks Sustainability Alliance, contributed to its creation and will execute the plan. The

Partnership manages the Sustainabilility Alliance, leverages resources for it and ensures agreedupon policy implementation.

Mission: The Balboa Park Sustainability Program mission is to educate, measure and promotesustainability practices to preserve and enhance Balboa Park.

develop innovative programs which increase sustainability and reduce climate change, and making it possiblefor energy efficiency expertise to become widely available.

It takes the collective efforts of citizens, organizations, and businesses to transform a community into anenvironmentally sustainable city. To achieve the mandated 25% GHG-emission reductions by 2020 and meet

the citys energy-efficiency goals, the program will serve as an example, demonstrating the parks participationin the citys green movement. The plan provides the necessary resources and tools needed to engage facilitymanagers, staff, and visitors into saving energy, money, and the environment.

Due to its micro and macro importance, sustainability is high on the radar for various funding sources evenin a down economy. Whether for programs on increasing energy efficiency, education on how citizens can dotheir part or green jobs skills development, monies from sponsors are currently available. The intention is touse the past and seed the future. Due to the success and visibility this program has already achieved, BPCPcan leverage those resources to obtain additional funding.

Socially, becoming more sustainable is perceived as a positive and necessary. Given the fine reputation ofthe Park, a successful Sustainability Program can only enhance how it is viewed by the local and regional

community. Creating a sense of community and additional camaraderie is also becoming increasinglyimportant given the current economy and the desires of our citizens. With social media now being the primevehicle used to share and spread information,. that technology can now be harnassed to share sustainabilityinformation with people and in even more meaningful ways.. Multiple generations can now access and usethe internet to learn about successful sustainability projects and practices.

20092012ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYSTRATEGIC OUTCOMES*

Our Expected Program Outcomes include: Creation of a culture of sustainable practices Alignment of park and community sustainability efforts Increased stakeholder connections Increased efforts to reduce-reuse and recycle Increased sustainability education and outreach efforts Increased visitor enjoyment Quantified successes Creation of 10,500,000 kWhs and 200,000 therms in annual savings

SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY AND FOCUSAREAS

We will achieve the Sustainability Program vision of reducing our carbon footprint by focusing upon theseelements:

Benchmarking, measurement and resource optimization

Education and training Outreach which encourages thinking and acting green Finding financial and in-kind support as the hub for information exchange among Balboa Park

institutions

Partnering for successBENCHMARKING, MEASUREMENT AND RESOURCE OPTIMIZATION

Our plan to reduce the carbon footprint leads us to break our strategic initiatives into specific focus areas:

Energy Efficiency Water Conservation Recycling Transportation Sustainable Business Practices Land Use Management

Energy EfficiencyThe Sustainability Program, funded by SDG&E, systematically assesses the energy efficiency and climatechange impacts of the parks facilities, operations, and infrastructure. This includes identifying opportunitiesto implement energy-saving and GHG-reducing, water saving, recycling and improved transportationmeasures to meet energy cost-reduction and management goals. This is a high priority and will be worked onextensively in 2010.

An element of maximizing energy efficiency is incorporating savings opportunities as identified in thebenchmarking process. In this way, the park is able to quantify opportunities and prioritize actions to reduceenergy use and GHG emissions. An analysis will be made of opportunities for the park to incorporate cleangeneration, such as photovoltaic or fuel cells. The benchmarking process consists of the following steps:

Establish energy baseline Establish measurement criteria Determine potential savings Set resource management goals Track and collect data in ENERGY STAR Benchmarking Portfolio Manager Analyze findings Share results Provide performance management, if desired Determine aggregate/longer term vendor contract options with individualized milestones/evaluations Facilitate centralized communication regarding resource sharing Publish savings results throughout institutions Challenge success through quarterly contests, presentation and/or assessments/audits Organize outreach visits by Facilities Directors, presentation and/or assessments/audits

We will undertake specific tactics outside of benchmarking during the course of this plan:

Build retrofits taking into consideration park deferred maintenance Implement an energy management control system

Consolidate computer servers Fine-tune the park maintenance schedule Optimize outdoor lighting Install LED induction street lights Retro-commission equipment Install smart metering Install power products (i.e. surge protectors) Implement Heat island reduction Improve weatherization Install solar collectors

Water Conservation(Insert one paragraph here about why. I have no information on any other source)

Upgrade irrigation controllersReduce indoor water use

Upgrade plumbing fixtures Capture rainfall Collect storm water Establish gray water policy Implement Smart metering Increase low-water landscaping Utilize Save-A-Buck Program Water Introduce 20 Gallon Challenge Increase Irrigation Efficiency Implement gray Water Policy Increase Low Water and Native Plant Landscaping Review fountain use Replace and upgrade plumbing fixtures, irrigation controllers, kitchen equipment and cooling tower

controllers

RecyclingIn coordination with the City of San Diego, SDG&E, California Integrated Waste Management Board, andwith support from Keep California Beautiful, Partnership's Sustainability Plan includes the implementation ofwaste reduction, reuse, and recycling programs for office paper, corrugated cardboard, newsprint, beverage

containers, oil waste, fluorescent lamps and other recyclable materials.

Tactics include:

Waste and Recycle Assessments Enhance Recycling Bins Park-wide Encourage use of Recycled Paper Products Establish Web-Based Equipment Exchange Program Establish Electronic Member Passes

Develop Canvas Bag Program Encourage Paper Bag Use Conduct Waste Audit Choose Alternate Leaf Blowers Create More Effective Recycling to Minimize Down-cycling

These programs include the creation of a cooperative recycling hub for the Park where institutions will be ableto recycle appropriate materials in a safe and efficient manner. Long-term goalsinclude the implementation ofa composting program to collect food scraps and other organic material.

TransportationBPCP's Sustainability Program includes reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by supporting currentalternative transportation and implementing alternative transportation measures, thereby reducing the negativeimpacts of climate change in compliance with AB 32 and other measures. This will improve air quality,directly benefiting the community in terms of a higher quality of life and reduction of related illnesses,including asthma and allergies from particulate pollution..

Strategies which will be explored in 2011 include:

Public Transportation: Implementation of the proposed plan will significantly reduce GHGs producedby standard transportation to, from and within the Park. Additionally, these strategic improvementswill enhance both Park accessibility for diverse populations and visitor quality of experience, whilepreserving the Parks historical integrity. Clean transportation will contribute to the economic engineof tourism.

Alternative Transportation: BPCP proposes to plan, market (education and outreach) and implementstrategies to promote alternative transportation programs and reduce the number of vehicles on the

road and in the Park. Such strategies include: Research and purchase solar-charged electric golf carts Establish designated parking for alternative fuel vehicles, rideshare, vanpools and shared

vehicles

Educate staff and public to adopt energy efficient driving strategies and use alternativetransportation

Plan and implement a shared bicycles program Assess and implement better signage for visitors driving in the Park Offer vanpool and rideshare incentives (San Diego Zoo vanpool employees spend $1.75 a

day)

Adopt shared plug-in vehicles and vehicle services (establishing two (2) or three (3) hybridvehicles for subsidized rental such as Zipcar, Hertz and Enterprise)

Install electric charging station at the San Diego Automotive Museum and make availableother alternative fuels in partnership with the San Diego Zoo

Establish Park-wide fleet policy to buy clean transportation vehicles Establish employee discount for hybrid and electric vehicles Assess the San Diego Zoos fleet for alternative fuel upgrades

Sustainable Business Practices


9/18


p. 9

The Partnership's Sustainability Program includes Green Business Operations, which addresses the successfuldevelopment and execution of a Sustainability Program for business operations in the Park. Its objectivesinclude: 1) raising awareness of sustainable business practices and processes, 2) outlining the scope of a 1-3-year project, realizing tangible, measurable results (in areas such as reduction in CO2 emissions), and 3)sharing results with other businesses and the public to promote adjusting business practices to reduce waste

and increase efficiency. The focus is on two core areas currently in place: 1) shared resources and 2) greenpurchasing. We will implement a six-month to one-year StakeWare, stakeholder engagement process thatwill prioritize issues of focus and metrics for the core categories of shared resources and green purchasing. Atthe completion of this phase, we anticipate internal process improvements related to sustainable businesspractices and tangible, measurable results of metrics selected.

The Sustainability Program will review the policies of its associated institutions, creating universal policies,standards, and practices with a centralized manager. These policies will reflect sustainability goals, encourageconsistency of approach, and effect cost savings. These policies will focus on the following:

Growing the Environmentally Preferred Collective Purchasing Policy Setting Clear Guidelines for Contractors

Establishing the Resource Energy Management (REM) Program Developing Green Guidelines for Leasing Agreements Selecting preferred vendors; e.g. for electronics Considering longer term relationships with longer term savings for vendor contracts, using milestones Establishing best practices through Balboa Park Stakeholders cooperative efforts Requiring participation from all Facilities Departments; identifying representatives, demonstrating

value and benefits

Encouraging collective agreement on goals with a park-wide directory Specifying that all new or redeveloped buildings should be designed to achieve energy efficiencies

requiring 15 - 20 % less energy than allowed under the 2005 version of Title 24 of the CaliforniaBuilding Code. This would also qualify them for participation in SDG&Es Savings by Design or

Sustainable Communities programs Replacing turf areas with approved drought tolerant landscaping Providing water audits of all structures and operators and upgrade with water saving plumbing fixtures Providing vetted local vendors list Encouraging use of compostable products Developing park wide green teams Developing green purchasing policies and procedures Providing Cost cycle analysis education Implementing intranet shared resources

Practices emphasize collaboration to promote efficient resource use. Practices to be implemented consist ofthe following:

Establishing green information exchange Establishing equipment exchange program for park institutions Creating an E-waste recycling event Aligning Earth Day event with sustainability goals Encouraging varied facility use Encouraging use of rubberized asphalt (i.e.; County of San Diego)

organizations throughout the San Diego region. This training will not only act to enhance staff membersskills, but those of the greater community.

Professional training/education - This program component will provide professionals/staff in Balboa Parkwith how to training for effectively implementing energy efficiency and Sustainability Programs in Balboa

Park. It will disseminate the learning from these efforts outside the park and will provide additionalsustainability training and education. At least 16 informal learning sessions, 2 symposia, and 10 workshops willbe conducted per year, including classes that support field certifications (e.g., LEED). The creation of casestudies and two conferences will also be held over the three-year program period. Education sources include:include:

Monthly Lunch & Learns - Facilities Directors ENERGY STAR Series - Green Jobs Training USGBC LEED Series Green Jobs Training Green Life Styles Series Staff and Board Green Skills Series for children

Intern Programs - Case Studies Electronic Kiosks Sustainability Projects Sustainability Online Series Sustainability Website

OUTREACH

The Sustainability Program will help the public (as well as staff and volunteers in Balboa Park and beyond)understand issues and activities surrounding energy efficiency and sustainability. This will be achieved by: 1)the production and placement of visual aids/signage, 2) special events, 3) an extensive educational web featureon the BPCPs Sustainability Program web pages (linked elsewhere), 4) the development and presentation ofeducational exhibitions and performances (supported by sub-granting of education and outreach funds to

museums and cultural institutions), and 5) other forms of distributed media such as public serviceannouncements.

The BPCP will promote and educate the city and visitors on the efforts of the program utilizing the followingstrategies:

Developing branding for the program Developing message points tailored to various audiences Pursuing external alliances Developing products with logos Engaging in cross-promotion via the following outlets:

Web

PR Speakers Bureau Awards Programs Media Newsletters

Providing signage and Displays Hosting conferences, Expos, and Events Greening of events operations and products

Annual showcasing of sustainability efforts Attracting sustainability conferences to the park Providing information via a Website /E-Newsletter

FINDING FINANCIAL RESOURCES

The Balboa Park Cultural Partnership will review a comprehensive list SDG&Es programs, as well aspotential Federal and State programs from which the park may benefit. Such resources include:.

SDG&Es On Bill Financing (OBF) Program which provides zero-interest loans to customers forenergy efficient business improvements that cost $5,000 or more after rebates. The loan is paid backthrough an adjusted monthly energy bill.

SDG&Es Sustainable Communities Program (SCP) provides energy-efficiency incentives and agreen bonus for achieving LEED certification. This program also offers the option of installingclean energy systems (i.e., fuel cell or photovoltaic panels) on the customers site. In this case, SDG&Eowns and operates the system, and pays the customer a small lease payment, the amount varying

depending on system size. California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE)s California Solar Initiative (CSI) Program provides

incentives to building owners for installing solar power on their building sites. The incentive amountvaries depending on the amount of solar already installed in California and decline over time. Forcurrent rates, visit the CSI website at www.csi-trigger.com.

SDG&Es Tax-Exempt Customer Incentive (TEC) Program provides technical and administrativeassistance plus financial incentives to help tax-exempt organizations implement energy efficiencymeasures. The program addresses the many barriers tax-exempt organizations face including time,staffing, and technical resources and funding. TEC provides the extra resources needed to takeprojects from concept to successful implementation.

SDG&Es Express Efficiency Program is a nonresidential rebate program designed to help customersreplace or retrofit existing equipment with high efficiency equipment. The program provides cashrebates to eligible business customers for energy efficient lighting, refrigeration, food service, naturalgas and other technologies. Rebates can help offset the overall cost of installed equipment. Customersmay qualify for rebates up to $350,000 per meter, per fuel, per year.

(What about other resources?The BPCP will also create a resource development plan to gain additional funding to cover the costs of allthis program activity.

PARTNERING(What are we creating through our ability to partner, needs a voice. Governance and building the ecotourismplatform possibly).

ANNUAL PROCESS,TIMELINE AND PROGRAM INTEGRATION

The Partnerships Strategic Plan provides desired outcomes for the next five years. Each year the plan will bereviewed for relevancy and adjustments and an accompanying operational plan will be produced with detailsas to how strategies, actions, and tactics will be implemented and measured during the upcoming fiscal year.It is important that the Partnerships different programs and initiatives align with the strategic plan. Programplans should be reviewed annually and updated according to progress toward or any changes within theorganizations strategic plan.

The 2010-2012 timeline for maintaining the plan is as follows:

January: At the January Sustainability Forum, The Partnership will report the cumulative status of thestrategic plan. A strategic planning committee is formed to determine input needed to revise the planand what is required to gather that input (workshops, surveys, etc.).

March: The Alliance strategic planning committee implements the input-gathering strategies andincorporates the new input into the plan. Ideas on the table for the future include:o Water Reclamation Project in June 2013o Landfill Methane Gas Conversion System in December 2014o

Using what has been accomplished here to create a plethora of green job trained experts who areused throughout San Diego.

April: The updated strategic plan is distributed at the committee. Feedback is solicited andincorporated into the revised plan.

May: Partnership program staff adjusts annual operating and program plans in relation to the revisedstrategic plan (draft) and prepares the next years budget.
