Saving Energy Together – What Steps Help?

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.
