Key aspects

What could universities do to switch to renewable energy? Planning (technology, siting/buildings,
permissions, contracting, …) - Design - Finance (investment, credits, loans, business model, subsidies, feed in tariffs, sale and purchase of renewable heat and electricity…) - Management, Operation & Maintenance - Benefits: Economic, PR, Education - Context of UN SDG goals, national goals, city targets, university vision - Cooperation with local community.
