Saving Energy Together – What Are the Rules in Shared Spaces?
Even in shared rooms, your individual behaviour is more important than ever.
This includes always making sure that heaters are turned down to 1.5 when you leave the room. Be sure to close all windows so that extra energy is not being wasted to heat the room. Make sure that electrical appliances are turned off; turn off lights and all electrical devices. Avoid leaving devices in standby mode; it’s a bigger energy drain than the name suggests. Do your best to make others aware of using energy wisely and remind one another to save energy where ever possible. And don’t forget: Reducing your energy consumption is environmentally friendly.
Additional energy-saving measures can be found at Saving Energy at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.
Background:
The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is facing an unpredictable situation this year due to reduced gas delivery and limited supply. The State of Thuringia has asked the university to reduce our energy consumption by 15 to 20 percent. But how is that going to be possible? You can do your part by acting responsibly and frugally when it comes to energy consumption. You, too, can help use energy responsibly and efficiently.
