The Living Lab brings together organisations across Cambridge to test and scale new solutions in real-world settings. As part of the initiative, Hills Road is working with startup Decent Energy to trial software that identifies energy-saving opportunities and improves the use of renewable energy across its campus.
The College is also involved in a regional project funded by the Water Efficiency Cambridgeshire Fund, piloting water-saving technologies alongside partners including NHS Estates and Churchill College.
Through its involvement, Hills Road is contributing to a growing network of organisations using Cambridge as a test bed for practical, scalable sustainability solutions.
