Water Management

Water is a precious and limited resource and the University is committed to managing its water use effectively. In our Environmental and Energy policy (section 3) we commit to: Continually improve energy and water efficiency, using absolute and relative metrics to assess performance. Invest in new energy and water efficient and re-use technologies, and support relevant design activities, where these cost-effectively improve performance. This is implemented through our Environmental and Energy Management System (EEMS), with reducing water committed to as a key objective within our 2022-23 Environmental Objectives (see item 2) set as part of our EEMS. Since 2011/12, the…

How did we achieve our 35% carbon reduction target?

By joburtonFeb 08, 20170 Comments

We are delighted to announce that the University has cut its carbon emissions by 35%!!! This has produced a saving of £17 million over a five year period and means we have cut our annual carbon emissions from 44,000 tonnes of CO2 in 2008/09 to just over 28,500 tonnes per year now. The total carbon saved over the five year period is 63,000 tonnes, which equates to just over two years’ worth of the University’s current carbon emissions. This achievement puts the University among the top institutions in the country for reducing its carbon emissions. It demonstrates the University’s commitment to…

Foxhill House

This building is currently rated as energy efficient. Lots of the streetlights between Foxhill House and Park group Halls are fed from this building, which is why there is often more electricity used overnight than during the day.
