Energy Central Campus

Energy Central Campus Carbon Audit

As Energy Central Campus moves into new buildings, we want to optimise our energy use, not only to reduce our impact on the environment, but also to show leadership in how the UK can meet its Net Zero commitments.

Aims:

The interns will:

• Collect and analyse data on building energy usage in Energy Central Campus.
• Compare their findings to benchmarks for good practice.
• Develop recommendations for improved energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions to be implemented on campus. This will include using the energy usage data to work out if the campus could cost-effectively generate and/or store more renewable energy onsite.
• Present their findings in a report and a presentation to key stakeholders.

This is a team project.

Key skills and interests:

• Project Management
• Renewable Technologies
• Teamwork
• Engineering
• Sustainability
• Communication
• Data Analysis
• Planning
• Problem Solving
• Knowledge of Net Zero/ Decarbonisation.
