From STARS v2.2 to STARS v3.0: key changes

With any new version of STARS comes a slew of methodology changes that can be difficult to manage and keep track of. With this in mind, GreenerU has identified the three most impactful changes that will affect your STARS process the next time you submit.

Using design to communicate complex topics

Design is a powerful tool in GreenerU’s arsenal, and one that we leverage to tackle one of the biggest obstacles in our field: communicating about sustainability.

Whether reviewing, coordinating, or managing the entire process of submitting an inventory, GreenerU can help you with AASHE STARS.

Leveraging STARS to advance your sustainability goals

AASHE STARS inventorying, analysis, and submission is a lengthy and complex process—one that can be all-consuming for an institution. But one of the purposes of STARS is to provide a baseline of data to help your institution understand the next steps toward implementing sustainable solutions. Meghna Tare, chief sustainability officer at the University of Texas at Arlington, joined us in September 2022 to talk about how UTA is leveraging STARS reporting for change by making the data accessible and clear to campus stakeholders.

Upcoming GreenerU webinars

From time to time, GreenerU hosts webinars and workshops on topics ranging from climate neutrality and energy efficiency measures to climate action planning and facilitation. Watch this space for upcoming GreenerU webinars featuring stories from your peers, lessons learned, and best practices in sustainability and climate change mitigation.

Here’s how one university has joined their reputation for excellence in dining with an efficient sustainable food metric tracking system through community-distributed responsibility—and won awards for both.

STARS v2.2 is here, with some advice from experienced reporters

The much-anticipated STARS v2.2—Sustainability Tracking, Assessment, and Rating System—has launched, and there are some new opportunities for points by reviewing the data before submitting to AASHE. A panel discussion at the AASHE conference in Spokane that GreenerU moderated helped participants figure out how to tackle one of the most important tools available for measuring sustainability on college campuses.

Fall is the season of STARS

STARS reporting is a bit like filing joint taxes in your first year as a newly married homeowner…with a business…and a baby. Sure, you could probably figure it out. But you could also hand it over to someone who knows how to maximize your refund.
