Campus and Building Environmental Performance

In line withMonash University’s commitment to reduce energy and water, it is vital that all staff and students understand how and where energy and water is used at Monash. 

Graphs showing electricity, gas and water usage at each campus are now available at the Greening Up Our Act website at http://monash.edu.au/green/you/performance/index.html In addition, electricity usage information for all Clayton Campus buildings is also available with this information on buildings at other campuses to be made available as soon as possible.

In order to maximise your efforts, it is encouraged that you to consider the data for your own campus/buildings with all staff and students in your area and investigate methods for reducing energy and water.  Tips for reducing energy and water are also available at the above site. 

Queries regarding the above can be directed to environment@adm.monash.edu.au.
