Winter building closures
As part of our previously outlined plans to reduce costs and lower our carbon footprint, we operated a three-week trial over the 2023 winter break to close or restrict access to specific buildings on Campus West.
The trial went well, we saved 400,00kWh of energy, 80 tonnes of carbon and £70k of energy costs, as well as giving us valuable staff feedback to shape how we can best support any plans for future temporary closures. You can read more details in the wrap-up report.
We have now decided to extend these opt-in trials, and target further savings across our Estate. You can find out more information here.
