Green Savings


The University was the first in Scotland to have a Combined Heat and Power plant, in 1996. Due to its efficiency we are exempt from paying Climate Change Levy. In 2009 we joined the Carbon Trust’s Carbon Management Programme, which will enable us to calculate our carbon footprint and incorporate new carbon reduction measures.


Children at a local primary school have designed posters to encourage energy saving. These can found around the campus to remind us all to switch off and save energy whenever we can.


Fairtrade


In 2008, the University of Dundee was granted Fairtrade status by the Fairtrade Foundation. The University and the Students’ Association work hard to supply and stock Fairtrade-approved goods wherever possible. The City of Dundee was the first Scottish city to be named a Fairtrade City in 2004, to reflect the high number of retail and catering outlets supplying fairly traded goods.


In 2007, the Queen Mother Building (left) was highly commended in the Green Gown Award Sustainable Construction Category. The Dalhousie Building (p26) won the 2008 Green Gown Award for Energy and Water Efficiency.
