New occupancy data will help the University make better use of campus space, cut energy use and reduce costs to provide an improved experience for our students.
The University has developed Smart Campus initiatives to understand how our community uses our buildings and campus spaces.
One initiative combines anonymised data to show overall patterns of use, to help the University understand when spaces are busy, underused or used in different ways.
Better information will help us make more informed choices about our spaces. It will support a campus that works better for our students and staff while helping to meet our sustainability goals.
The insights will guide decisions about campus facilities and how space can be used differently.
This could improve the day-to-day campus experience for students, staff and visitors while making better use of existing buildings.
Using buildings more efficiently can reduce unnecessary heating, lighting and maintenance, helping to cut operating costs and carbon emissions.
Information will be anonymised and used to understand overall patterns of space use, without identifying individual students or staff.
