Case Study: Cardiff Metropolitan University

We chatted with Graham Lewis, Chief Officer University Environments and Property, about how Cardiff Metropolitan University is cutting wasteful out-of-hours energy use.

Cardiff Metropolitan University has made significant cost and carbon savings through addressing out-of-hours energy consumption. By interrogating half hourly billing and private metering across the campus, the estates team has revealed and, is addressing, the disconnect between occupancy and energy consumption.

You can read the full case study on our documents page.
