Hartpury College Stepping Up in Sustainability project

Sector-led projects

Between 2010 and 2013, LSIS has provided grants to support 63 projects which aim to develop, embed and disseminate effective approaches to sustainable development.

Each of these projects has developed a case study and, in many cases, resources and tools, which are now available for other providers to access, adopt, adapt and learn from, free of charge.

Below you can find details of the Hartpury College project, with links to pages showcasing their case study and any associated resources that have been developed by or collated by them.  Please feel free to download, use and adapt these resources - while acknowledging the authors - and to contact and engage with Hartpury College to find out more.

Hartpury College - RespECT: Responsible Energy Consumption through Teaching

This project aimed to measure the electricity consumption (kWh) in 5 of the 35 similar student residential hostels, using the results to raise awareness amongst students and staff that individual actions can impact energy usage.  The project sought to pioneer an innovative approach to learner engagement that would reduce electricity consumption, reduce waste and promote good practice.
