UNSW Sydney has completed Stage 1 of its Electrification Program, retrofitting 13 major buildings across 80,000 m² GFA, removing all fossil gas use. Powered by 100% renewable electricity, Stage 1 avoids over 800 tonnes of CO2e annually, while demonstrating a scalable, and sector-leading blueprint for zero-emissions university infrastructure with minimal disruption. The project delivered full electrification of buildings across Kensington, Paddington, and David Phillips Field campuses, including commercial kitchens, student housing, galleries, and childcare.
