The objective of this project is to replace the exterior lighting in the Canyon, Cypress, Jolly Giant Commons, and the Hill with LEDs.

The project includes the removal of the existing ballasts at existing T8 luminaires and replacement of existing T8 lamps with LED retrofit kits to achieve the goal of decreased power consumption in the Science D building.

The service provides a virtual space for the Humboldt community to list items for sale. Similar to Craigslist, however you must have an Humboldt email to participate. This project was defunded because the company went out of business in 2023.

Project proposes installing 9 new bottle filling stations for a total cost of $20,761 throughout Humboldt campus to save energy, reduce waste, and make it convenient for Cal Poly Humboldt’s community to refill reusable water bottles on campus. Final selected sites include: Redwood Bowl, JVD Lobby x2, Library x2, Gist Hall x1, Wildlife x1, BSS x1, and signage at Forbes and Gist Hall.

This project added 7 compost bins strategically placed around campus which allow for better accessibility to the campus community, ultimately reducing Humboldt’s impact on the landfill waste stream. This project also replaced 5 existing bins with a consistent style. Final additional exterior locations include: Natural Resources, Science D, Redwood Plaza, Art Quad, Founders Hall, Redwood Bowl, and Kinesiology & Athletics.  

This project provided funding to install a donated PV system, and monitoring equipment on the Schatz Energy Research Center building.

In Spring 2016 Bryann Allen, Austin Anderson, and Solomon Clark from the Renewable Energy Student Union (RESU) proposed to replace the old natural gas water heater with an electric heat pump water heater with solar thermal coil preheating in the CCAT house. In total there is one outdoor unit and one indoor unit. The RHEEM hybrid electric air-to-water heat pump system provides hot water to both levels of the house. The electric heat pump and solar preheat system replaces the inefficient natural gas water heater which had a broken coil.

This project proposal aims to reduce the unnecessary use of artificial lights in natural lit spaces on campus by implementing a daylight harvesting system which will reduce total energy consumption and abide by the new energy standards.The locations approved by the Committee are the J Dining Commons and the K&A atrium ‘beehive’ fixtures.

This project proposes installing a system that consists of magnetic sensors placed at parking lot entrances and exits, an LED display sign, and a mobile web page that informs drivers of current parking conditions. The proposed locations are parking lots: G1, G11, G12, G13.

This project proposed building a perminant cover for the EarthTub composter to keep water out and employees and equipment dry.This project was defunded because the Earth Tub is being retired from use as campus pivots to a new in-vessel unit that will process a larger volume of material at the J Dining Hall.
