Hello Nicola and everyone,
At the Technical University of Denmark we have a good system for ‘error reporting’. Employees and students can either use a web-site that sends a mail or they can use a smartphone app. It is called
‘DTU Fejlrapportering’. The phone registers where you are so it already suggests what building number the ‘error’ you want to report exists in. You write your initials for your DTU-mail and then you get a mail from the system and you will also get updates
(if you choose) on when your error has been solved. Then you can choose a category:
Auditorium, admission-control, elevators, cool & freeze, guest-homes, meeting-rooms, teaching-rooms, toilets etc.
After this you can write what the problem is and you can attach a photo.
This is a very efficient system to have everybody at the university help prevent waste of energy, water etc. They can write about a toilet running og a window that doesn’t close properly or what
ever they find and it helps Campus Service use less resources running around finding errors –we can not be all over all the time anyway!
I can only recommend to get a similar system

Best regards,

Subject: Using Smartphone Apps to Green Your Campus ?
Hello again everyone,
Might any of you folks be using smartphone apps of any kind to engage with staff and students to help green your campuses ?
I’m looking for information on how smartphone apps are making it easy for staff and students to report where and when unsustainable behaviour is taking place.
Ideally I’d like to hear about an app that helps users report when energy is being wasted and in what form (e.g. lights left on in empty classroom, ICT equipment left running, radiators on near open window etc. )
Even if your app is just to report graffiti or flytipping, I’d be interested to know which institutions are using what kinds of apps.
All and any kind of information is much appreciated.
Kindest regards,
Nicola.
