Question:
Last year, the university spent over £20 million for centralised heat pump technology; basically energy production becomes centralised in one location within the university, and the energy will be distributed to other buildings in underground pipes. This reduces the amount energy obtained from regional utilities. Costs of electricity has increased 120% since 2003, and gas increased by 190% since 2001. However, current prices are now (on average) equivalent to those about 4-5 years ago. For two years, the university was under construction with building, road and garden closures being quite frequent. Based on principles of sustainability and resilience, explain whether the university has made an acceptable decision?
