  5.  Sustainability as University Guideline  The University of Applied Sciences Zittau/ Görlitz (FH)

  6.  Sustainability as University Guideline  The University Profile “Sustainable Development”

  7.  Sustainability as University Guideline  The University Profile “Sustainable Development”

  8.  Sustainability as University Guideline  The Environmental Management System at the University of Applied Sciences Zittau/ Görlitz (FH) First german institution of higher education with a validated Environmental Management

  9.  Sustainability as University Guideline  The Environmental Management System (EMS)at the University of Applied Sciences Zittau/ Görlitz (FH) “The Hochschule Zittau/Görlitz sees Environmental Management not simply as positive advertising, but uses it as a guideline for organizing and modeling its commitment to teaching and research ... “ - quoted from the interim report of the environmental inspector

  10.  Sustainability as University Guideline  History of the EMS (EMAS II)at the University of Applied Sciences Zittau/ Görlitz (FH) 1995 1st Senate decision 1997 founding Environmental Management working group Dec. 1998 validation audit • VO EG 1836/93 (EMAS) - March 1999 • VO EG 761/2001 (EMAS II) - March 2002 • external supervisory audit - March 2003 • 2nd external supervisory audit – March 2004 3rd Validation Audit: VO EG 761/2001 - January 2005

  11.  Sustainability as University Guideline  Why EMS at Universities? • ImageFirst HE Institution in Germany (1999)First HE Institution with EMAS II (2001 • CostsCost saving Improvement of environmental performance Minimization of waste, land use, emissions, noise ... • Good PracticeExample for stakeholders (students, staff, partners,..)Corporate social, economical and environmental responsibility • …

  12.  Sustainability as University Guideline  Why EMS at Universities? • Image • Costs • Good Practice • Multiplier function • Responsibility • Authenticity operation of university Integration in research and education

  13.  Sustainability as University Guideline  Goals of the EMSat the University of Applied Sciences Zittau/ Görlitz (FH) Categories: • Energy and water (electric and heat energy, water and sewage) • Materials and waste • Information/Communication • Education and Research • Sustainable Development

  14.  Sustainability as University Guideline Electric energy usageinkWh/m² BGF Zittau 30 1998 2003 31 Görlitz 27 1998 2003 27 Total altogether 31 1998 2003 31 Since 2003: automated electric energy data collection for all buildings Problem: Data analysis  Energy consumption

  15.  Sustainability as University Guideline  Emissions CO2 Heating Electricity

  16.  Sustainability as University Guideline  Water consumption

  17.  Sustainability as University Guideline University´s Environmental Day • Sustainability and climate change • Biotechnology and Bioethics • Flood prodection  Information/Communication

  19.  Participation of Students  How can students be integrated in an University – EMS? • Participation vs. “willigness” + interest “Tell them,and they will forget,Demonstrate, and they will remember,Involve them, and they will understand.” (Confucius)

  20.  Participation of Students  Examplesintegration of students in audits- material- and energy-flow analysis • support of the EMS in project studies- overview on matters of environmental law- EMS documentation: standards and EMAS-requirements

  21.  Participation of Students  Exampleswaste disposal guideline + waste separating system

  22.  Participation of Students  Examplesraising environmental consciousness: annual “environmental day”

  23.  Participation of Students  ExamplesStudents work:  pilot-study “emissions trading”  project study: “assessment of energy consumption data”  concept for a study-programme“Sustainability Lectures”

  24.  Participation of Students  Benefits • Enhancing “soft skills” • Practical experience and “Training on the job” • Improved personal identification with the EMS

  25. ... some advertising conferenceSustainable Chemistry & Biotechnology coordinated jointly by the Hochschule Zittau/ Goerlitz (FH), Wroclaw University of Technology, Baltic University Programme and the Saxonian State Foundation on Nature and the Environment February 15 – 19, 2005 Ostritz/ St. Marienthal (Germany) and Wrocław University of Technology (Poland)
