- Compare energy consumption in the university’s buildings to identify potential reductions.
- Prepare a new, optimal printing system with possible carbon, time and financial savings.
- Implement smart technology to reduce CO2 consumption, e.g. increase the number of laboratories that can shut down at night.
- Identify for outdoor and indoor bicycle parking needs on campus areas to meet demand.
- Prepare a nudging campaign with focus on cycling to and from campus.
- Prepare a new travel policy to reduce air travel and make use of new online meeting tools.

- Assess and incorporate relevant labelling schemes when launching prioritised tendering projects.
- Explore options for a deposit system for food packaging at AU’s canteens.
