12. Sustainability - Strategy Holistic –avoid gimmicks where add expense and cost –get basics right –balance cost benefits with any additional costs (no additional sustainability budget) –design sustainability in Vision Statement - ” to develop a sustainable community for learning and life “ Emphasise Sustainability throughout process –specialist sub consultant - GAIA –consultant selection –contractor selection –monitoring regime Key target areas –low Carbon footprint –biodiversity and a quality external environment –Indoor air quality and Daylight –water management –Green travel plan

14. Measures

15. ICT Contribution

16. print, copy and scan smartcards wireless & TC laptops VoIP halls AV & VC RFID self-issue thin- client technology

18. space efficiency significant reduction in total net internal area…..except Library & IT

19. Technology

20. Thin-client A thin-client is a client computer in a client-server architecture network which depends primarily on the central server for processing activities, and mainly focuses on conveying input and output between the user and the remote server. In contrast, a thick or fat client does as much processing as possible and passes only data for communications and storage to the server. Definition courtesy of WikipediaWikipedia

22. greatly improved the flexibility of work practice support distance learning travel to campus up to 300 simultaneous connections over 80 countries facilitates international collaborations Remote Access

23. Server Virtualisation Citrix XenServer HP DL580 16 Xeon Processors 64Gb RAM 1Tb local storage

24. efficiencies 20:1 virtualisation ratio average 60% reduction in hardware costs £35k savings on hardware 39000 kWh/year, ~£5k savings on energy per fully loaded host server embodied energy

25. PCs and terminals saving of nearly 100000kWh per year, ~£12k Ergo Powerman for PCs bespoke app for WYSE terminals ROI < 3 months PCs now powered only 9% of the day power-down

26. commissioned at 18C in 2007 increased gradually to 25C in 2010 will increase further as equipment allows 27C? 30C? 4% energy savings per degree Data Room Temperature

27. efficient, centralised scheduling no local ownership room utilisation of over 40% in turn allows the building size and accommodation to be minimised Timetable Software

28. remove the need to print room bookings or timetable info allows for the greatest flexibility in dynamic updating of room information data available over web too Room Info Screens

29. echo360 & Smartboard recordings all rooms on campus covered flexibility and efficiency in space usage as academic events can be recorded once and delivered many times web, VLE and iTunesU Lecture Capture

30. 250+ mixed, unmanaged devices Replaced by 45 MFDs in 2007 only 13000 kWh/year energy savings ~£100k savings in print costs ??? in other efficiencies like toner management and support Printing and Imaging

31. Outcomes & Next?

32. complete University transformation benchmark in UK HE for Space Efficiency benchmark in UK for Sustainability BREEAM – highest scoring HE in UK Case Study for IT influence in work methods Case Study for Modern learning spaces Awards Energy Consumption down by 36% Carbon Emissions down by 38% Carbon Emissions /student FTE – 516kg CO2

37. challenges and barriers change management communication technology, easy – people, hard NIMBY perceptions and misconceptions …but the technology is seen as enabling

39. Estate and Information Strategy unify the campus and the information provision formally ratify the dependencies on each other enshrine spending dependencies key: enable ease of access to information to drive the business
