Saving Energy Together – What Steps Help?
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 the going to be possible? You can do your part by acting responsibly and frugally when it comes to energy consumption. This series is here to provide you with helpful steps you can take.
Every Kilowatt Hour Counts – How Can We Save Electricity?
Electricity is partially produced by gas. This means that it’s important to lower electricity use. For instance, the university has turned off outdoor decorative lighting on campus. Employees have been given outlet switches that allow them to completely shut off deceives such as computers, monitors, printers and lights with the push of a button. Printers and telephone displays have been set to shut off when they are not in use. Generally speaking, your individual behaviour counts! Turn off devices when you aren’t using them, avoid leaving devices in standby mode and reduce your energy consumption in shared kitchens. Do your part and pay attention to where electricity can be saved!
Additional energy-saving measures can be found on the Saving Energy at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar website.
