Goals of our discussion 1. Top ways sustainable development/enhancing well-being / or new technologies could get integrated into your institution’s sustainability strategy in the next 1-3 years (depending on where your institution is in your sustainability journey)? 2. What are the top two areas you can make progress related to our two areas of focus? 3. How can you leverage this Working Group and its members to advance holistic sustainable development objectives and integrate them into your campus planning efforts? ISCN 2016

Key Issues Discussed1. Strong interest to move beyond climate and energy/GHG reduction

2. How could WG2/Institutions better align not just their vision but their goals focused on enhancing well-being and true sustainable development

3. Community partnerships and intersections: neighborhood scale, research and impact

4. Establish a business case for a healthy, sustainable campus

5. Interest to connect more than once per year on these critical topics and approaches

6. Connection points to ISCN mission and other WG’s

TABLE 1 \ THE EVOLUTION OF CAMPUS-WIDE STRATEGIC PLANNING

Strategies for integrating holistic sustainability. Next challenges and topics: enhancing well-being. How to translate research into practice, use campus as testbed, and linkages to research. What is our role? What do we need to catalyze this transformation?

Goals for 2016-20171. Webinar Series with examples of institutions who are establishing

strategies and metrics to integrate sustainable development goals into their holistic (campus) planning efforts.

i. Global models, including Health promoting universitiesii. Working Group 2 Institutions examples

2. Survey WG2 members: i. Key areas of focus: in an effort to facilitate best practice sharing, gap

filling and to better leverage expertise and enable knowledge transfer ii. Sustainable Development Goals & Metrics and Accountability

3. Survey “co=production” partners & faculty and senior leadership participation

TABLE 2 \ APPLICATIONS OF PHYSICAL SOLUTIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES

New technologies and innovative systems can impact sustainability at universities--lifestyles (energy transition, mobility changing, etc).

ISCN 2016

Page 9: ISCN 2016: Working Group 2 Debrief

TABLE 2 \ APPLICATIONS OF PHYSICAL SOLUTIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES

campus-wide applications of: architectural solutions and green and blue technologies (water, waste), energy transition solutions, smart technologies (apps, sensors)

What have we not thought of that relates to the use of smart technologies?

Most of the time it is not a matter of having in place advanced or smart technologies, but how to make the most efficient use of those.

We have to make sure that people are involved in the process (co-design of services and not top-down delivery), and informed about services.

It is about CREATING CULTURE, an EDUCATIONAL PROCESS.

TABLE 2 \ APPLICATIONS OF PHYSICAL SOLUTIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES

campus-wide applications of: architectural solutions and green and blue technologies (water, waste), energy transition solutions, smart technologies (apps, sensors)

Top ways new technologies could get integrated into sustainability at your institutions in the next 1-3 years, depending on where your institution is in your sustainability journey / your institution's evolution of sustainability?

1. Investigating how we can make use of smart technologies to drive behavioral change towards more sustainable lifestyles

2. Use smart technologies to promote a better use and access to existing services and facilities (e.g. booking teleconferencing facilities, mobility services like shuttles and shuttle routes, booking e-vehicles).

3. Testing technologies (in partnership with industry) to sense the community, foster collaboration and gain information and feedback about behaviors in an automated way, without bothering too much people (as it happens with surveys), thus supporting place-making

TABLE 2 \ APPLICATIONS OF PHYSICAL SOLUTIONS AND TECHNOLOGIES

campus-wide applications of: architectural solutions and green and blue technologies (water, waste), energy transition solutions, smart technologies (apps, sensors)

What are the top two areas you can make progress on:

Participation and co-design in

1. Energy and Environmental Management: efficient use of hard infrastructure (grids, waste, water)

2. Mobility: smart apps for improving sustainable mobility modalities and behaviors

ISCN 2016

Page 12: ISCN 2016: Working Group 2 Debrief

Goals for 2016-2017 1) Sharing of case-study applications about

◦ hard infrastructure (energy, mobility, environment)◦ soft infrastructure (smart technologies) … with a focus on people behavior and place-making

2) Discussing future agenda
