Energy and Environmental Management

The University of Bristol has in excess of 5000 staff, 12,000 students and occupies 380 buildings. Our operations naturally have a significant local, national and global environmental impact. The primary role of the Energy and Environmental Management Unit (EEMU) is to try and reduce this impact and where possible save the University resources and money.

25% of the energy and water the University uses could be saved, that equates to £1 million each year!

How can we achieve these savings, noted below are a range of the things the EEMU is currently doing. You can help though, read the section on Education and awareness to see what you can do and sign up to the green charter
