The EU’s 2020 goals established a 20% improvement on energy efficiency;
The European Commission acknowledges that one of the greatest energy saving potentials lies in buildings where it is possible to achieve reductions up to 50% (EU, 2011);
Public administrations in EU Member States can save between 20% to 30% of their energy use (heat and electricity) by 2020 (ADENE, 2008);
The Portuguese Action Plan for the Energy Efficiency also states the importance of the public building sector to increase the energy efficiency investments, contributing to the target of a 10% energy reduction (PNAEE, 2008 ).
Universities, as places of innovation and creativity have therefore a special role, along with technical schools and industry, in the task of creating “green practitioners”.
Green Campus Challenge – context
The Green Campus Challenge (GCC) - Energy Efficiency in Higher Education aims to promote energy efficiency in university campuses;
The Green Campus Challenge was launched in March 2011. It is funded by ERSE trough PPEEC and it is a collaboration of IST/MIT Portugal, INTELI and SelfEnergy;
The GCC initiative targeted the overall Portuguese higher education network, consisting of 316 institutions and which in 2010/2011 accounted for approximately 391.000 students and 25.000 faculty staff (DGES-MCTES, 2012);
The main goal is to develop multidisciplinary teams to conduct an energy audit to a specific building of a university campus and to prepare an energy efficiency report for that building.
Green Campus Challenge
The teams were asked to be formed by 50% of students, particularly by people from different areas of study and institutions; faculty members and technical staff could also compose the team.
The best 3 projects receive monetary prizes, as well as the best technical and behavioural measures;
Industry is present in the organization of the challenge and in the composition of the jury:

Implementation of the best selected measures through Industry partnershipsTechnical Visits &
Energy MeasuresTechnical visits were held to the buildings
and later energy measurement devices were installed in the
buildings to analyse the energy consumptions

Institutions Engagement
Gather the support of Higher Education
institutions with the commitment of both the
Faculty and Technical staff
ChallengePreparation of a
energy efficiency plan for a building on a selected Campus
Teams CompositionMust include at
least a professor or a technical staff in the team; 50% of the
team members should be students
JuryThe jury is constituted
by 14 experts from academia and
industry, from sciences to humanistic areas
A series of technical webinars on energy efficiency topics were broadcasted live: Webinar 1: Efficient Energy Production Systems – Maria
João Rodrigues (APISOLAR) Webinar 2: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
Systems – Carlos Soares (Enerone) Webinar 3: Consumptions management – Miguel Águas
(Lisboa e-nova) Webinar 4: Buildings surroundings – Laura Aelenei
(LNEG) Webinar 5: Energy Audits – Hugo Fonte (Selfenergy) Webinar 6: Factors & Economic valuation of measures –
Carlos Silva (IST)
The teams could interact with questions on Facebook; Videos are available on Youtube:

Conclusions and further work from the Green Campus Challenge
There is a real interest both from industry and academia to look at the energy efficiency in public buildings;
This initiative contributed to the debate around the need of creating a coherent and sustainable business model to support the energy efficiency benefits in the higher education;
Another aspect that may further boost the overall interest in energy efficiency in campus is the creation of an EU wide approach to the energy efficiency in the higher education sector, and efforts are being made to create a EU Green Campus Project.
