Saving Energy - a guide for the FHE sector
This guide was written and produced by EAUC Scotland in November 2022, and aims to give a brief overview of energy reduction measures and signpost to useful guidance on saving energy for colleges and universities in the UK.
When talking about energy reduction measures, often two strands of solutions are discussed: saving on individuals' energy use through behaviour change, or reducing the institution's energy costs through changes in energy management. Unsurprisingly, most benefits are gained if institutions implement measures in both areas. In the light of the 2022 energy crisis, this guide focuses on cost savings but, of course, reducing energy will also reduce carbon emissions.
This guide is tailored towards individuals and teams at colleges and universities looking to know where to start, or who want to expand their energy saving measures. It contains links and resources that will enable you and your team to tailor energy reduction measures to your institution.
