Energy & Sustainability
As recognized leaders in energy conservation for over a decade we wish to share with you what steps help to achieve significant and continued energy use reduction, details of what Kwantlen has accomplished and ideas to enhance your conservation activities.
While energy conservation is our greatest strength with Kwantlen's energy consumption 50% less than the average for post-secondary institutions across North America (see table below) the Facilities Services Team extend our conservation focus to reducing and recycling waste, designing environmentally responsible buildings and supporting actions to reduce the production of carbon emissions.
The main components of Kwantlen’s energy conservation program include:
| Awareness & Training – energy consumption dashboards, building operator training, green tips, presentations, website, case studies, etc. |
| Sustainable Building Design – for new construction & renovations – build it to reduce the environmental impact |
| Energy Management Action Plan – developed annually to capture what has been achieved and further projects and actions for the future |
| Energy Consumption Records – To measure and compare consumption, identify trends and opportunities. |
| Government Reporting – SMARTTOOL, Carbon Neutral Action Report |
You are encouraged to download resources from this website and modify them to best suit your needs. It is our hope that you will be motivated to take action to further reduce your environmental impact.
