Energy
Introduction
As Edge Hill University continues to grow we are increasingly aware of our responsibility to control and effectively manage our energy usage in order to minimise our impact on the local community and environment. Wasting energy means unnecessary depletion of fossil fuels and the preventable release of greenhouse gases, polluting our atmosphere and changing our climate.
Edge Hill is looking to promote energy awareness and reduction not only on campus and in the home, but also through our teaching programmes as well as working with the community.
