This document summarizes a panel discussion on lessons from universities on energy management. The panel was chaired by Rachel Ward from London Metropolitan University and included Tristan Wolfe from the University of Aberdeen and Ian Lane from the University of the Arts London. Wolfe discussed challenges of accurately creating energy budgets, tackling efficiency in historic buildings, and addressing misconceptions about renewable technologies. Lane discussed challenges implementing efficiency in short-lived buildings, capturing efficiency in new developments, and whether non-intervention is sometimes best. Ward outlined London Met's energy reduction efforts and challenges of student and staff engagement, an uncertain future, and reducing energy while meeting expectations.

Introduction
• 3 campuses – Aldgate, Moorgate and
Holloway Road
• 9 buildings
• Range from 1890 – 2006
• 12,000 students, 1,500 staff
• Planned £125 million “One Campus, One
Community”
• 56% carbon reduction since 2009.

Challenge1 – Staff & Student Engagement
• Methods of communication
• 3 campuses – need to repeat
events
• Two intakes of students per
year
• Back of house improvements
5. londonmet.ac.uk
Challenge2 – Uncertain Future
• Some buildings being designed
with short life
• Existing building stock may not
be refurbished for several years
• Lack of budget
• Trying to set targets but not sure
what final state is.

Challenge3 – Reducing Energy whilst Meeting Expectations
• Students have higher
expectations
• Increased operating times
• More energy intensive
equipment
• Increased request for
temperature control
8. The University was founded in 1495 and is composed of:
- The historic Kings College Campus
- The medical Foresterhill Campus
- The 2,000 bed Hillhead Student Village
- A variety of small sites stretching to the tip of Scotland
We have over 1,600m2 of solar PV installed, a 1.6MW Combined Heat
and Power engine to help provide electricity and heat to over 13,500
students and staff
In 2016/17 we consumed over 18,018MWh of grid electricity and
70,146MWh of gas and released 23,000 tonnes of Carbon emissions
from energy use
10. Challenge 2:
Tackling Energy Efficiency in
Historic Buildings
Solutions
- Researching and investing in sympathetic
and non-intrusive technologies
11. Challenge 3:
Misconceptions of “Magic
Energy Bullets”
Reduce Demand
Energy Efficiency
Renewables/Low
Carbon Technology
Solutions
- Encouraging senior management and
departments to follow the energy hierarchy
before trying to install renewables
- Providing formally written project proposals that
detail the challenges, solutions and impacts
- Being on top of the M&T so the effectiveness of
projects can be demonstrated
12. Final Thoughts
- Know your numbers and your site
- Concentrate on the basics, the rest will
follow.
- Thoroughly research your projects and
present them formally and record the
results against anticipated outcome
- Being on top of the M&T so the
effectiveness of projects can be
demonstrated
- Try to establish an effective team
13. The transition from unsustainable to
sustainable
