Why volatility can put colleges and universities on the path to net zero

Tune in as Orry Cummings, Sales Leader at Centrica Business Solutions, leads the conversation on why volatility can put colleges and universities on the path to meeting their financial and carbon goals. This webinar is in partnership with APPA – Leadership in Educational Facilities.

The higher education sector is experiencing an unprecedented time of volatility and disruption. Enrollment is fluctuating. Budgets are tight. Energy costs are skyrocketing. Deferred maintenance backlogs are growing. COVID-19 has increased scrutiny of indoor learning environments. Student health and well-being are top of mind. Demonstrating value for the money and embedding sustainability has become critical for student acquisition and retention. But this disruptive landscape creates opportunity and is driving higher education institutions to make decisions and modernize their energy infrastructure, boosting their resilience to volatility and, even better, accelerating and meeting their net zero targets. 

 

In this 50-minute webinar, Orry Cummings partners with APPA – Leadership in Educational Facilities to discuss how to practically implement a sustainability pathway to meet your institution’s goals:

  • Discover how the current landscape creates an opportunity to accelerate your net zero pathway.
  • Become empowered to get your energy infrastructure upgrades approved and completed by understanding and overcoming common roadblocks.
  • Learn how the P3 model minimizes risk and enables you to reach your infrastructure, budget and net zero targets faster.
  • Understand the cost of waiting – how aging infrastructure puts you at risk and diverts budget from students.
