Campus Sustainability

Lingnan University is committed to preserving the environment and to implementing the Government’s environmental improvement policies in the campus. The University takes all reasonable measures to achieve energy saving in its buildings, to conserve natural resources by good practices on waste management and to reduce its ecological footprint.

 

In the pursuit of sustainability, the University promotes the following measures:

• Use lighting sensors to control the lighting of outdoor areas of Main Campus 
• Post up signage to encourage the Lingnan community to use staircases 
• Use solar energy
• Adopt LED and solar-type lighting
• Participate in various energy saving activities
