ΕΝ ΒΙΩ ΕΜΠ - NTUA’s Roadmap to Energy Management & Sustainable Development

A Roadmap to Energy Management and Sustainable Development has been compiled to promote sound energy management and sustainability practices as well as to align the efforts of the numerous respective groups and stakeholders across NTUA campuses. To incorporate and advance sound energy management and sustainability across NTUA’s facilities, infrastructure, operations, curriculum, research and community, the Roadmap to Energy Management and Sustainable Development is organised into three main pillars of action: - Environmental Protection - Education & Research - Community & Culture
