HE Network

The HE Network is an online community for Higher Education Energy Officers, who have an interest in non domestic energy and environmental issues.

 

Higher Education Carbon Management Programme

The Carbon Trust has developed a carbon management product tailored to the needs of the Higher Education sector. The primary focus of the work is to reduce emissions under the control of the university such as academic, accommodation and leisure buildings and vehicle fleets. The programme will be supported by the Higher Education Carbon Management Toolkit, a web-based self-help workbook. The Toolkit captures lessons learned, is updated every year, and provides detailed carbon management process instructions, technical guidance and relevant tools. Although it is targeted at universities, the results could be valuable to other educational establishments as well.

Higher Education Environmental Performance Improvement
