Sustainable estate: EcoCampus Gold revalidation audit for UCL

Last month, UCL was thoroughly audited for two and a half days against the EcoCampus Gold standard, and we have received confirmation that we retained the award.

Sustainability & Safety in UCL Estates coordinated the work across UCL. The report from the independent audit references the work of Library Services staff witnessed during the visit:

“The Science Library, including PC clusters, was viewed. It was discussed how the library team are very active in the Green Impact scheme and that appropriate power down software is in place for PCs, multi-function devices, etc. The DEC for the building was seen to be valid – expiry date 31/01/16, rating C (61).”

 

The auditors also received a copy of Library Services’ Annual Review of Environmental Performance (2015) and commented favourably on the extent and quality of work in this area across UCL Library Services. On behalf of Library SMT, I would like to thank the Library Services Sustainability Committee and the Library Buildings Team for their work in coordinating this work and congratulate all Library Services staff who have been involved in improving our environmental sustainability.
