December 19, 2019 - Power outage affecting UCD's Belfield Campus due to a fault on ESB Network.

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges society currently faces. What can we do to ensure we minimise our impact and reduce our carbon footprint?

We make 7 million journeys to and from the UCD campus each year. How we choose to commute can have a big impact on the environment.

The summer period is a busy time for Estate Services, in particular it offers an opportunity to implement carbon reduction initiatives for the University and we would like to update you on some of these plans.  

We once again ask for a big effort to Switch-Off this bank holiday weekend. This extra effort can make a very considerable contribution to reducing UCD’s carbon footprint and help us progress towards our 2020 targets.

The official 2018 results are due to be published shortly by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). Early indications are good, however the period between now and the end of 2020 is crucial to our success.

The UCD Energy Unit would like to raise awareness once again of the benefits of shutting down non-essential equipment this Easter long-weekend.

The UCD community is working hard to reach our 2020 energy efficiency targets, which require a 33% improvement in energy efficiency.
