Sectors: Tertiary Education

Challenges
Some of the challenges specific to the Tertiary Education sector include:

• an aging energy infrastructure, with a low funding priority for upgrades
• utility management is often outsourced to non-specialists e.g. general “maintenance” providers
• compliance issues e.g. boiler safety, having the proper systems and processes on site
• increasingly stringent greenhouse gas emission standards driving a shift from coal fired to gas/wood fired boilers & centralised heat pumps

Why EFI
We can help with:

• a choice of cost-effective “off-the-shelf” energy solutions e.g. boiler and wood fuel supply package
• installation and ongoing support services (including health, safety and compliance issues)
• the shift towards green fuels e.g. wood
• achieving year-on-year reductions in green house gas emissions, contributing toward CEMARS® accreditation
