Green Audit
A green audit of a college is a systematic process that assesses the institution’s environmental practices and impact. It focuses on evaluating the use of resources such as water, electricity, and paper, as well as waste management, biodiversity conservation, and sustainability initiatives on campus. The goal is to identify areas where the college can reduce its ecological footprint and promote eco-friendly practices.
During a green audit, data is collected through surveys, inspections, and utility records. The audit may also examine the presence of green spaces, rainwater harvesting systems, energy-efficient lighting, and renewable energy sources. Based on findings, recommendations are made to improve environmental performance.
Conducting a green audit helps raise awareness among students and staff, encourages sustainable behavior, and supports the college’s commitment to environmental responsibility. It also enhances the institution's reputation and aligns with national and global sustainability goals, contributing to a greener and more conscious academic environment.
