Audits and Analyses

  • Mapping and Management of UP Green Areas: Approximately 40% of UP's land area is covered by vegetation. What types of vegetation are there, how is it maintained, and how can it be developed with biodiversity in mind?
  • The UP Energy Audit evaluated energy management and proposed opportunities for savings; all buildings received an energy performance certificate.
  • The UP Water Audit included an analysis of water sources, water management, and wastewater handling, with a proposed 20% reduction in water consumption.
  • The Physical Analysis of UP’s Mixed Municipal Waste examined what ends up in the university’s general waste bins and how much of it could be sorted and reused.

We Support Biodiversity

  • We are building insect hotels, offering invertebrates shelter and breeding spaces.
  • We are installing nesting boxes for swifts and bats on buildings.
  • We promote the installation of protective window decals to prevent bird collisions with glass surfaces.
