 * Doable projects for the Sustainability of the ACT campus.**
 * 1. Digitalizing ACT**
 * 2. Rainwater Capture System**

By Asterios, Aggelos, Mimoza, Leonidas

The purpose of this project is to move the university into integrating to new technologies that will help reduce the environmental harm done by excessive use of unneeded paper. Not only massive numbers of paper is used for no serious reason, but moving towards new technologies will help reduce costs that currently exist in the ACT budget. The project includes solutions ( = alternative methods) for a couple of things like registration and student assignments and how can an educational institution like ACT create a sustainable system that is as effective but also improves the ecological footprint -by reducing the need of paper. Also, we tried to address the form of books, but there way too many obstacles, as there are copyright infringements and also current lack of technological advances and legislature don't allow for much actions.

 * Project 1: Moving towards a paperless educational college system**

This project is aiming at providing an introduction to rainwater capturing and also designing a system for the ACT campus. Water usage is an old concept but recently became more known due to sustainable thinking. The idea is to use the roofs of the buildings as collectors and using a pipe system gather the water into tanks and then use for irrigation or other uses. Currently, ACT is using aquifer water meaning that such a system would lower dependance on the aquifer water making ACT more sustainable. To present this, rainfall data will be gathered and along with water usage data, will be analysed to specify the design requirements for such a system in the campus. Go to project page
