00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:05.477
What energy we use and where we
get it from defines a big part

d3cfb2dd-8bdf-477a-abb3-e3b1659aa01a-1
00:00:05.477 --> 00:00:07.120
of our impacts of the
environment.

00:00:07.880 --> 00:00:10.320
Our energy strategy is made-up
of three key principles.

7ed5e444-c30d-43f0-ae38-93dfede15cc3-0
00:00:10.760 --> 00:00:14.012
Reduce the energy that we use
through cutting out wastage,

7ed5e444-c30d-43f0-ae38-93dfede15cc3-1
00:00:14.012 --> 00:00:17.043
decarbonize our energy supply to
the use of low carbon

7ed5e444-c30d-43f0-ae38-93dfede15cc3-2
00:00:17.043 --> 00:00:20.516
technologies, and be smart with
the energy that we must use to

7ed5e444-c30d-43f0-ae38-93dfede15cc3-3
00:00:20.516 --> 00:00:22.280
become a world class university.

00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.262
The renewable technology
transition takes time, but we've

98fbc9c0-9a95-42c3-b85f-d32a97088783-1
00:00:26.262 --> 00:00:29.686
made a good start with over 5500
solar panels already installed

98fbc9c0-9a95-42c3-b85f-d32a97088783-2
00:00:29.686 --> 00:00:32.040
on campus and targets to install
many more.

00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:35.785
We've also started detailed
studies into low carbon heat

597722bd-d1bf-4a3b-94e7-2988c9419605-1
00:00:35.785 --> 00:00:36.640
sources on campus.

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:40.236
The strategy is not all about
new technology though, and you

11b0c77c-e8e6-4bd9-9ce0-edc05ba79d85-1
00:00:40.236 --> 00:00:41.360
can make a difference too.

00:00:42.360 --> 00:00:45.703
Unplugging devices, turning off
lights when not needed and

00:00:45.703 --> 00:00:48.876
reporting energy wastage all
contribute to reducing our

67c5680e-0898-4240-9c49-456330fea736-2
00:00:48.876 --> 00:00:49.839
carbon emissions.

00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:53.728
Responsible use of water is
another important part of our

8e47f229-ec6c-4042-9db1-7ea76669a956-1
00:00:53.728 --> 00:00:54.760
sustainability goals.

00:00:55.120 --> 00:00:57.976
By using water more efficiently,
you can help reduce our

00:00:57.976 --> 00:00:59.680
collective environmental
impacts.

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.774
Simple things like boiling only
the water you need in the

00:01:02.774 --> 00:01:05.809
kettle, use a washing up bowl
instead of washing up under a

bd78c7b7-cc27-4331-b532-4bbc96bff70c-2
00:01:05.809 --> 00:01:08.439
running tap and taking a shorter
shower all add up.

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.587
The average water consumption in
our student residences is over

00:01:12.587 --> 00:01:15.949
100 litres per person per day
and most of this is hot water

298a7fb4-1e88-4886-98c1-52c5ed839645-2
00:01:15.949 --> 00:01:18.360
which is currently heated by
fossil fuels.

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:22.095
By using less water, you can
help preserve our water

df21c6c5-b72f-4831-ab3a-c1fa305c7b8a-1
00:01:22.095 --> 00:01:24.280
resources but also save carbon
too.
