Lancaster University has reduced its absolute carbon emissions by over 20% since 2005 despite a GIA increase of over 30,000M3 during this period. With challenging carbon reduction targets of 43% by 2020 and 83% by 2050 Lancaster has implemented a wide range of projects to reduce its carbon emissions as part of its Carbon Management Plan with varying degrees of success and effort!  

This session explored the successes and failures and problems encountered when implementing CMP projects using potted case studies and examples and aimed to disseminate the ‘lessons learnt’ by Lancaster to EAUC delegates.
