Project Infomation
The University of Cambridge’s Environment and Energy section works to improve the environmental sustainability of the University’s operational estate. With an estate portfolio valued at over £1.7bn, a planned capital building programme worth £412m, and energy costs of £15m a year, the University has a high environmental impact and large carbon footprint. We are committed to an absolute reduction of our carbon footprint by 2020.
