Sustainability Renovated
The recent renovation utilized energy performance modelling in accordance with the Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s Design Building Standards, and energy performance targets aligned with the university’s Climate Action Plan.
With the installation of a new variable-speed kitchen exhaust with hood sensors, unnecessary ventilation caused when kitchen equipment not in use is reduced by approximately 60%. The sensors determine which cooking stations are in use and limiting the amount of fresh make-up air headed through fossil fuels required.
This new feature will help reduce the overall GHG emissions by around 200 tonnes CO2e/year, equivalent to the emissions of 100 Kingston houses. Major investments such as these in mechanical systems are the key to achieving the targets in Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s Climate Action Plan.
