Waterford Dining Hall

27.86

In 2017 our College established a very successful demonstration of a circular economy at work. This involved our own permaculture produce being used in our dining hall, followed by the organic waste being biodigested to harvest the methane for hot water heating for our kitchens. The bi-product fertilizer was then returned to our gardens. The Dining Hall also harvests all rain water and condensation. In order to now demonstrate a closed loop system we plan to install a 35kW solar PV system which will power a large percentage of our cooking of meals for the 750 students and staff living on campus. Building on our very successful pilot phase during which we installed 22kW solar PV on the roof of our Science and Economics Blocks this adds to our plan to expand our generation capacity to 227kW. Our detailed design phase identified that all of the energy generated will be used in othe kitchens which is the closest point of consumption. Any excess capacity will then feed into our staff housing.

Sustainable development goals achieved

1 Eradicating poverty in all its forms remains one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. The SDGs are a bold commitment to finish what we started, and end poverty in all forms and dimensions by 2030. This involves targeting the most vulnerable, increasing access to basic resources and services, and supporting communities affected by conflict and climate-related disasters.

Our goal to ensure skills training of local technicians will help achieve the goal of eradicating poverty and ensuring equal opportunity to economic resources through the development of the local solar PV industry.

4 Achieving inclusive and quality education for all reaffirms the belief that education is one of the most powerful and proven vehicles for sustainable development. This goal ensures that all girls and boys complete free primary and secondary schooling by 2030. It also aims to provide equal access to affordable vocational training, to eliminate gender and wealth disparities, and achieve universal access to a quality higher education.

Sustainability begins with education. This conference will seek to not only begin the process of designing an embedded curriculum but to also begin turning those principles into on site practice. This is why delegates will include all stakeholders in the community of UWC Colleges from the European region, including students, staff and academics

6 Ensuring universal access to safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030 requires we invest in adequate infrastructure, provide sanitation facilities, and encourage hygiene at every level. Protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems such as forests, mountains, wetlands and rivers is essential if we are to mitigate water scarcity.

Developing clear projects leading to responsible consumption of water and disposal of waste is an essential process in developing experiential learning.

Sustainable Development SDG

Delegates include academic and operational personnel. The workshop seeks to ensure the development of onsite renewable energy generation commitments to ensure visible climate action

Sustainable Development SDG

In addition to examining their current emissions affecting climate, UWC participants will plan a campaign to ensure future generation of power is through renewable energy. They will also seek to address their historical emissions through programs of mitigation
