Jisc 1: Engaging users

One approach to reduce an organisation’s energy use is to engage your staff and students in these efforts. Many institutions have invested in energy dashboards and the like to show building users the amount of energy that a building is using and variations over different amounts of time.

Not all these approaches work as well as others, however. This webinar will explore some of the understanding that has been gleaned from Jisc’s work with a number of universities, where approaches ranging from a socio-technical to the use of (serious) games have been deployed to tackle the energy use of university sites ranging from an engineering building (De Montfort University) to student residence (Coventry University). It will also introduce the soon to be released Jisc guide to this important aspect of improving environmental performance.

Speakers: Richard Bull, De Montfort University and Elise Smithson, Coventry University
