The purpose of the Energy Emergency Plan is to help achieve the goals of the Greening Plan by reducing energy consumption by 40% by 2030. It also aims to limit the University’s spending on energy utilities (gas and electricity) and, finally, to make the university community aware of the need for individual and collective co-responsibility for optimising energy use; for the efficient use of facilities, buildings and campuses; and for improving their management.
