Victoria University of Wellington

De-carbonising Vic

Since 2007 Victoria University of Wellington has been reducing its carbon emissions. Stationary energy and transport were identified as target areas. An extensive list of projects have been delivered with a modest budget by a small team. Total carbon emissions have been reduced by 12 percent (despite a growing campus) and operating costs reduced by millions.
