CSU committed to saving water, energy
1 JANUARY 2003
Commitment to a University-wide environmental initiative has gained Charles Sturt University (CSU) $77 000 from the NSW Government to assist energy and water conservation on its Wagga Wagga site. CSU has committed $300 000 to introduce conservation measures to campus infrastructure, teaching spaces and office accommodation. Director of Operations and Maintenance, Mr Wayne Millar, said the project, 'Learning by Doing', combines practical water and energy saving measures with education to raise awareness of water and energy management among CSU students, staff and the Wagga Wagga community. “The project includes lighting, air conditioning and water efficiency upgrades across the campus, which is projected to save 443 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions and more than four million litres of water each year.” With CSU at Wagga Wagga leading, CSU will develop energy management plans for each campus and move towards the goal of becoming a ‘greener’ University.
