Sustainability is one of the key factors that students consider when choosing a university. So much so, that a survey of 2,000 students found that a university’s commitment and reputation for sustainability is more important to them than the university’s location1. It’s clear that environmental action must be a priority, for universities to remain an attractive destination for students.
In response, many universities have made net zero commitments – and now is the time to deliver them. But this may not feel as simple as it sounds. It must be balanced with other critical responsibilities: creating safer, healthier, and more productive learning environment, against a backdrop of ageing campuses with high maintenance demands, and strained budgets that must be focused on student acquisition and education.
We help universities and other higher education institutions to reduce their carbon emissions, while reducing energy costs, improving building comfort, and freeing up resources for student-facing activities. Our extensive experience in helping to solve the energy challenges in education ensures the maximum return on investments, increased efficiency and reduced carbon emissions.
The choice for higher education is clear. Act now, decarbonise using the suite of options and funds available, reach your own net zero targets, and position yourself as an institution of choice. Or wait for the impending government regulation that will force the decision.
