EcoversityRecognising that the use of energy has widespread environmental impacts, particularly through the release of carbon dioxide the main greenhouse gas (GHG), the University has made a commitment to carbon reduction. We have since developed a carbon footprint of our operations, implemented a carbon management system and developed a five year carbon saving plan. This work has been further resourced with the recruitment of a Energy Manager and development of an Energy Investment Programme for energy saving projects, e.g. a campus wide building management system with automatic monitoring and targeting of energy savings.
Work has also included campus wide feasibility studies of wind-power, biomass boilers (ongoing) and combined heat and power generation and the University is now actively seeking the installation of these technologies.
To help you better manage energy use within your office (and at home) the University provides a variety of guidance on energy conservation including energy myths, energy facts, good house keeping measures and an overview of our energy saving policies.
