The next phase of work in our future campus vision is to develop our plans under four overarching campus development themes:

1. Transport and Mobility
2. Design and Landscape

3. Energy and Sustainability

4. SMART Campus

Energy and Sustainability

We aim to continue our leadership in sustainable development by delivering a truly carbon-neutral campus.

What might this look like?

• Transformation from fossil fuel to renewable energy across campus through the use of clean technologies.
• Improved air quality resulting from the reduction of traffic and move to renewable energy supplies.
• Shift towards greater on-site energy generation.
• A new and innovative building performance standard to significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon emission.
• Investment in our energy infrastructure to ensure resilient and affordable energy supply to campus.

What do we have to build on?

• We’re already investing in more efficient engines to improve our Combined Heat & Power system.
• All new buildings exceed current building regulations for energy and thermal performance.
• We generate 60% of our electricity and hot water on campus to reduce our carbon footprint.
