The University of Leeds has committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions from its estate and travel by 2030. This ambitious target requires addressing emissions from heating and powering existing buildings, including numerous Listed structures, within an urban campus setting that limits on-site renewable energy generation. The primary challenge lies in reducing energy consumption and transitioning to renewable energy sources, necessitating significant infrastructure modifications and off-site energy solutions.

To meet these challenges, the University has appointed G&T for Project Management, Contract Administration, and Employer's Agent services. G&T is actively involved in replacing outdated infrastructure across various buildings, securing increased electrical supply through new substations, and undertaking refurbishments that align with the University's net zero objectives. These efforts focus on modernising facilities to reduce energy consumption and facilitate the transition to renewable energy sources.

Through these initiatives, the University aims to significantly reduce its core carbon footprint by 2030, enhancing the sustainability of its operations. G&T's expertise in project management and infrastructure development plays a crucial role in advancing the University's commitment to environmental responsibility and its goal of achieving net zero emissions within the set timeframe.
