Hosted by Hira Teirney
Welcome to the AHR podcast series, where we engage in captivating conversations about the built environment and its influence on shaping a more positive future.
Host Hira Teirney is joined by Syd Cottle, director of estate’s management at the University of Liverpool and Nia Prys Williams, energy manager at Liverpool John Moores University, as well as AHR’s head of sustainability, Robert Hopkins.
Together they explore pragmatic solutions that universities can use to meet their sustainability goals.
Syd and Nia share the opportunities presented and the challenges they face and their approaches to decarbonisation.
We discuss the wealth of interventions that universities can make in managing their estate strategy, and driving the implementation of bespoke changes, to create a positive impact.
You can subscribe to our podcast series featuring a wide variety of topics, available on your preferred podcast platform or via the AHR website.
