Students from the 蜜柚社区’s economics and finance courses were given a real-life project to assess the feasibility and potential benefits of investing in Solar PV (photovoltaic) panels for one of the university’s buildings, Mithras House. With a focus on sustainability and cost-efficiency, the students were asked to conduct a thorough financial appraisal of the proposed investment.
Head of Sustainability at the university, Ollie Swan, was the client on the project. Ollie said: We needed to conduct this comprehensive financial analysis, but at the time, did not have the capacity within the team to undertake such a complex piece of work. So, we reached out to the university’s economics and finance students.
Participants
Two students, Morgan Schroder and Tommy Soleye, both from the university’s Economics BSc(Hons) course, were on the project team as part of their Environmental Economics module.
