Universities & Colleges

The education industry is increasingly being challenged by the transition to cleaner energy.

OnGen are here to plug that knowledge gap.

Our award winning flagship product OnGen Expert™ is an online assessment tool that makes it easier for you to assess the feasibility of generating onsite renewable energy.

As part of our Managed Service, we conduct the assessment for you and provide you with the most optimised and cost-effective approach. Our software solution is like no other in that we can consider up to 10 renewable technology alternatives.

Universities and colleges can often have large campuses with significant energy demands. By moving over to on-site renewables, educational institutions can reduce their reliability on grid electricity and therefore reduce electricity costs in the long run. Savings can then be reallocated to support academic programs, research and student services.

Universities and colleges now have a responsibility in being leading in their field, and climate change and addressing global challenges is key to that progress. By transitioning to on-site renewables, universities and colleges can reduce their carbon footprint and set examples for students, staff and the wider community.

Renewable technologies on campus can serve as a great educational tool for students. They provide hands-on experience for students who study subjects such as engineering, environmental science and sustainability. Whilst these technologies can be integrated into research projects, the real-time data from renewable technology contribute to an educational curriculum.

Governments often provide grants and funding to organisations who have sustainability at the top of their priority lists. Universities and colleges may be able to access these financial incentives making it more realistic to invest in green infrastructure.
