Go TraylessGo TraylessBenefits of going “Trayless”
save thousands of gallons of water necessary for cleaning
save energy associated with cleaning
change behavioral habits: possibility to decrease food waste by as much as 50%
Current Dining Halls:6th will be trayless
BARH and Sage present opportunities to become traylesss
Commons, largest dining halls, presents large problems
Conveyor Belt not fitted to work without trays
Plate’s design not easy to carry with food

Go TraylessGo Trayless“Tray-less Tuesday” failed because:
Initiative was introduced in the middle of year when people’s habits are well-formed
Benefits not clearly explained to students
Initiative sponsored from Sodexo and down to students
So we need to CHANGE THE MINDSET by:Introduce initiative to Freshman at SO/NRB in order to change the mindset of incoming students before given the chance to form habits
A new initiative must be student driven, on a voluntary basis- grassroots
Benefits must be clearly demonstrated to students expected to participate
Technical fix to conveyor belt

Design Brief Data BaseDesign Brief Data Base
Real world problems relating to sustainability can be submitted
May be pre recommended by a task force for implementation on campus
Classes could pick them up as projects, competing or collaborating to create an implementable idea
Example classes include IED, EMAC, DMS, PDI, & Arch.

Designs would be presented to the submitters (Clients)
Satisfactory designs would be implemented/beta tested
This would help professors plan classes while incorporating sustainability into a wider curriculum

Undeveloped Ideas:Remove paper towels by switching to hand dryers
Examine cost of implementation and operation-
Dycon Blowers- filter air and save net energy
Possible use for paper towel waste?
Occupancy Lighting Sensors- reduction of focus lighting
Private vs. Public areas, eliminates human error and forgetfulness
Identify essential vs. unnecessary lights and act.
Winterize buildings
Reduce energy loss and costs
Double-paned windows, storm windows, Weather Strips
