HEEPI aims to improve the environmental performance of universities and colleges by:

• Developing environmental benchmarking within further and higher education
• Running events to share best practice and build networks
• Providing an information resource

Environmental Benchmarking

• A database of energy and water consumption in over 300 buildings
• A standard questionnaire to assess transport impacts

Events

• Benchmarking workshops on specific buildings
• Showcasing best practice e.g. metering, sustainable construction
• Identifying new opportunities e.g. financing energy efficiency

Information Resources

• Case studies and guidance documents
• Web site material
• Knowledge broking (e.g. on new buildings)

HEEPI is financed by the Higher Education Funding Council for England and managed by the University of Bradford, in collaboration with the:
