| Project Abstract | In 2007 CIT had an annual spend for its Bishopstown campus of approximately 642,000 (electricity), 200,000 (gas), 145,000 (waste), and 120,000 (water). In addition, other unquantified resources (e.g. in laboratories, maintenance, offices etc.) are consumed.The following MINIMUM annual savings are anticipated: Water 20% 10,000 m3 24,000 Electricity 10% 500 MWh 64,200 Waste 5% 16.5 tonnes 7,250Paper 10% to be quantified ditto These reductions will have obvious environmental as well as economic benefits. The programme will also significantly raise environmental awareness in the Institute among staff and students. |
