DatabaseSUSTAINABLE CAMPUS

2010The Campus database is a University of Zagreb driven

project. It was introduced as an idea at the ISCN

Shanghai conference in 2010. The favorable responses

at the conference lead to the development of a

proposal we named the ISCN Guide that would join

together two forms of content about sustainable

campus design and achievements:

- a guidebook for sustainable campus design and

- databases of sustainable campus examples and their

impact.

Context

● Universities sustainable units are often searching some new ideas to apply sustainability in their universities.● When they share experiences, they prefer do it based on case studies or theme.● No tools exist to help them doing it efficiently.

What Sustainable Project Database can offer:

● A projects database, categorized by different themes or by universities (operation on campus, social well-being, green economic, research, teaching, students involvement) and described according to different criteria (finance, time, catalyst element, difficulties, results,...)

Steps to achieve this goal:

● Finish the prototype of app developed by university of Zagreb.● Work on the sorting categories (which themes should appear, what category, which heading should have the project description....).● Fill the app with real case studies of UGAF core group Universities. ● Develop the database and invite other

1. TITLEThe John Curtin school of medical research 2. DESCRIPTIONRepresentative and expressive design of the building itself, although charged with literal symbolism of DNA structure on the facades, contains a remarkable level of interaction with the quality interior spaces and is a good example of the integration of principle in the whole design process. Large glass surfaces that create the desired interaction of external and internal social space also serve as passive insulation elements: from the entrance multi levels hall to the small conference spaces for informal gathering and meetings. 3. OBJECTIVESAlthough the primary intention of the project was to encourage social, professional and scientific interaction between staff, students and visitors as well as spatial use flexibility, project also achieved to harmoniously connects these aspects with energy sustainability principles. 4.

1. TITLEBuilding solar system 2. DESCRIPTIONIn accordance with new plans, the use of roofs for green roofs and sustainable infrastructure is provided. The largest part of the roof area should be covered with photovoltaic panels; the 20.000 m2 system installed by the end of 2012. on the roofs of EPFL, will be the largest solar park in Switzerland. 3. OBJECTIVESMaximizing use of building roof surfaces for collecting solar energy 4. STAKEHOLDERSCampus energy management 5. DURATION / start-end6. CONTEXTReduction measures of building energy consumption has been gradually evolved through three building phases of the campus. New and improved construction elements and installations were continuously introduced as well as taking into account the orientation of the buildings. All new buildings follow the Swiss standard "MINERGIE", which is more strict than the usual legal standard by 30%. 7. REALISATION STEPSUnknown at the moment8. BUDGETUnknown at the moment9.

1. TITLERoofscape 2. DESCRIPTIONAs building technology evolves and building technical requirements increase, the landscape of the roof is being drastically modified. The roofscape is becoming an integral part of the urban infrastructure system: how much can be produced locally using, for example windmills at building scale, photovoltaic and solar collectors (for hot water). 3. OBJECTIVESGreen roof will help reduce the heat island effect, thereby minimising the amount of energy needed to cool the interior spaces. Green Roof will provide a significant contribution to the stormwater management plan.4. STAKEHOLDERSCampus energy management, students and university staff5. DURATION / start-endImplementation during building construction, active during building lifespan 6. CONTEXTHistorically, steeples were the dominant elements of the campus skyline. A major challenge to high performing roofscape is how it will redefine the built skyline. 7. REALISATION STEPSPreliminary studies for optimizing Green Roof and Photovoltaic (PV) recommend that: 25% of roof space for PV. Cover 66% mechanical area roofwith P.V., Cover south facing mech penthouse with P.V. 50% PhotovoltaicCoverage on top floor (south facades). Preliminary studies for optimizing Green Roof and Photovoltaic (PV) recommend that: 40% of roof areas not dedicated to mechanical penthouse will be used for green roof. 8.

1. TITLESheep on campus2. DESCRIPTIONTo cut the lawn, UNIL mandates two shippers that bring their sheep to be used as lawn mower. They are used to maintain 12 hectare of meadows. 3. OBJECTIVESThe management of UNIL’s Green Space is based on principle of limiting the use of chemical product and promoting biodiversity. In that sens, the eco-mowing by sheep allow to: Reduce the use of machine and weed control products - Reduce the production of waste - Reduce the destruction of soil - Maintain diversified green area and fauna’s micro- and mesohabitats - Let the flora reach its reproductive stage. It also contributes to the bucolic and charming aspect of the campus. 4. STAKEHOLDERSGreen spaces staff of University, regional shippers offering that service.5. DURATION / start-end-6. CONTEXTUniversity of Lausanne is situated since more than 40 years on a very green area of 90 ha. in the boarder of Geneva Lake. Built on former agricultural land, the respect of the natural environment always took an important place on UNIL’s campus management because it is an important asset for the university and for the quality of life of its users.7. REALISATION STEPSDefine the surface (one or several plots of land) - Define the most adapted species of sheep to work it on – Find qualified staff to take care of sheep (intern or extern) – Ensure of fulfilling the regulatory conditions about livestock detention – Ensure suited infrastructures and enough supply before winter – Define the cost, that could greatly vary (in UNIL farmers are paid to come lawning) - Establish a contract including responsibility, duration and all the above points- Ensure the monitoring of the system (regular meeting, report,...) 8. BUDGETFor 130’000m2 of pasture, 37 plots of land and 4 sheeps’ herds, the anual cost if CHF 80’000.- (about CHF 0.60 per m2)9. RESULTS-10. CONTACTDelphine Douçot, sustainable deputy.

DESCRIPTIONUniversity of Gothenburg wants through the wellness policy encourage their employees' health awareness and provide opportunities for regular active participation in health promotion activities.The university hopes that this will lead to increased well-being at work, creating a pleasant workplace with a good sense of community, increased attendance and prevent and reduce injuries.3. OBJECTIVESPrevent and reduce injuries.Lower absences due to illness4. STAKEHOLDERSUniversity staff5. DURATION / start-endStart at employment at the University6. CONTEXTHealthy employees are happier and more productive7. REALISATION STEPS•One hour a week all employees ar allowed to exercise during work hours. In poular speach it is called ” The Vice-Chancellors Hour”•Healthcare Compensation may be paid for certain types of exercise-oriented wellness up at a cost of Euro 200 per year for every employee.This exercise is to be performed on leisure time. Examples of tax-exempt exercise is gymnastics, weight lifting, spinning, swimming, bowling, racquet sports like table tennis, tennis, badminton or squash, team sports like volleyball, soccer, handball and hockey. Even other activities of a similar nature, such as simpler forms of exercise dance, tai chi, qigong, or yoga.8. BUDGETUnknown at the moment9. RESULTSIn 2014, more than 2500 employees, used the university wellness compensation, a increase of about eight percentage points compared with previous year.Total sick leave was 2,4 % of available working time 2014.10.
