  1. Changing HE Futures- Good or Bad for Sustainability? www.goodcampus.org

  2. HE FUTURES • We need to design a system that's built to last – and, given that we will need some radical thinking to succeed in the world we are entering, I suggest we think hard before deeming any proposition "off limits”

  3. HE FUTURES • Students- numbers, demands

  4. HE FUTURES • Changing students- numbers, demands • Competition • Tight finances • Efficiency & effectiveness • Porosity - ‘lifelong learning’- ‘blog science’ Thanks to Michael Nielson

  5. HE FUTURES • Changing students- numbers, demands • Competition • Tight finances • Efficiency & effectiveness • Porosity - ‘lifelong learning’- ‘blog science’ • New models- digitally driven

  6. NEW MODELS • US For Profit Degree Bodies- 7% of all college students- 9% pa growth- compared to 1.5% pa for traditional • 455,600 students • 200 locations • Average tuition fees- $14,174- compared to $7,020 at a state university

  7. SUSTAINABILITY PAST We recognize that separating humanity from nature, from the whole of life, leads to humankind's own destruction and to the death of nations. Only through a re-integration of humanity into the whole of nature can our people be made stronger

  8. SUSTAINABILITY PAST

  9. SUSTAINABILITY FUTURES • New/rethought problems & solutions • More intellectually diverse- less consensus • More Asian

  10. Broader world view/values- serving society (aka customer)- frugality, humility, smoothness/harmony • Lean manufacturing- customer satisfaction- quality- systemic elimination of mura ("unevenness") - energy efficiency/waste reduction a by product of a holistic, value driven approach

  11. A G(REEN)-LEAN PHILOSOPHY • Understanding the system • Empowering people • Right sizing • Smooth load following • Effective control and feedback • Flexibility • Design integration

  12. ENERGY IMPROVEMENT – CARBON TRUST VIEW Performance criterion Thermal mass Daylighting Building orientation Facade performance Area type grouping Solar HWS Ground source heat pump Controls CHP/Biomass Rainwater harvesting CHP/Fuel cell Biomass Wind Photovoltaics Wow Factor Integrated Design Bolt On Cost

  13. HE IMPLICATIONS • Sustainability/strategy alignment • Lean, high performance models- quality without quantity • Space utilisation • Rethinking science/technology education • A more strategic view of infrastructure- smart buildings, ‘cyber college’, cloud-based services- outsourcing enabling integration • Ensuring a ‘green’ IT infrastructure • Professional/technical staff as a learning resource

  14. SPACE AND CARBON • Low case- no space; under 8 miles commute- commuting 70 kilos CO2 gross, 56 net • Moderate case- up to 5 m2 space, 8 miles + commute distance- space 361 kilos CO2 gross, 253 net- commuting 504 kilos CO2 net, 403 gross • High case - 5 m2 + space, 8 miles + commute distance- space 723 kilos CO2 kilos net, 506 gross- commuting 504 kilos CO2 net, 403 gross

  15. SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION • High utilisation • Ultra efficient design • Lean operations • Simulation • Robotics

  16. ICT Energy Opportunities- Adapted from EPA Original Better air management Free/efficient cooling Efficient liquid cooling Flexibility and control Power efficiency/management Load management Consolidation/Virtualisation Power Conversion & Distribution Server Load/ComputingOperations Cooling Equipment On-site renewables Waste heat for cooling Fuel cells Thermal storage High voltage distribution Use of DC power Highly efficient UPS systems Efficient redundancy strategies AlternativeEnergy Supply

  17. GREEN IT AGENDAS 2010 • Financial responsibility • SMART 2020- ICT can cut global 2020 CO2 emissions by 12% net • Smart metering • Intelligent buildings • New ways of working

  18. INCREASED/PROTECTED REVENUES • Partnership for Renewables • Carbon Reduction Commitment • Residence charges?

  19. THE UNTAPPED LEARNING RESOURCE • Campus and its operations • Professional/technical staff • Student projects

  20. OUR NEW PROFESSOR

  21. Environmental sustainability – provisionally yes Social sustainability –depends on definitions Changing HE Futures- Good or Bad for Sustainability? www.goodcampus.org

  22. SUSTAINABLE SYNERGIES • Attractive, healthy working conditions enhance performance- daylighting- natural materials- natural ventilation • Lifetime costs- capital £1- operating £20- salaries £100-200
