Reduce, Switch Off, Conserve
Make King's your home.
At King’s, every action we take shapes our future. That’s why we’re inviting you to be part of The Big Switch Off, a campaign designed to reduce energy waste and cut costs.
By making small, mindful changes, you can make a big difference.
Switching off lights, powering down equipment and unplugging devices when not in use not only saves energy and money but also strengthens our commitment to sustainability.
This isn’t just about cutting utility bills, it’s about building long-term habits that benefit you and the University. King’s is your home away from home, and just as you’d take care of your own space, we ask you to work with us to create a more energy-efficient campus.
We’re already investing in energy-saving initiatives across our buildings, but we need your support to make an even greater impact.
Whether you’re in a lecture theatre, study room, an office, or a social space, your choices matter.
Join us in The Big Switch Off and take action today. Together, we can create a lasting culture of sustainability - one switch at a time.

By using less water, switching off lights, powering down equipment and unplugging devices when not in use, you can help us make a real difference in cutting unnecessary energy and water use across campuses.
This initiative is part of our commitment to making our campuses more sustainable and to decarbonising our estate. We're constantly working on energy efficiency initiatives in buildings across all of our campuses and need your support. Every action you take contributes to achieving our goal.
Why your participation matters
Together, we can significantly save energy used by the University. However, The Big Switch Off isn’t just about saving water and electricity - it’s about embedding long-term habits that help us meet both institutional and global environmental goals.
Join us in making The Big Switch Off a success!
Whether you're in lectures or the office, we all have a part to play in making energy-saving a daily routine.
By taking simple steps today, we can build a more sustainable campus for tomorrow.
Every time you switch off a light, unplug a device or turn the taps off when not in use, you're helping us create a more sustainable future.
Want to make a real impact? It’s easier than you think. Switching off lights, unplugging chargers, and using energy wisely might seem small, but together, they add up to big change.
Let’s work together to build a greener, more sustainable King’s - for now and for the future.
