Energy

How can I help?

Every one of us has a role to play to saving energy whether it is at home, at work and here on campus.  Here are some tips to assist you to save energy on campus:

  1. Turn off lights and equipment when they are not required
  2. Switch off your computer monitor when it is not required
  3. When purchasing new equipment consider energy efficient options
  4. Promote energy saving with your friends, fellow students and work colleagues
  5. Contact the Environmental and Sustainability Initiatives Unit on environment_team@uow.edu.au with any energy saving suggestions or queries
