Publication on "Sustainability management and energy efficiency at the University of Kassel"
Since 2016 , the university has received financial support from the Hessian Ministry of Science and the Arts (HMWK) to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Several operational projects have been funded through the "Energy concepts" funding line as part of the state of Hesse's innovation and structural development funding. The projects began in 2017 and will be funded until 2023. After three years of project duration (2017-2019), the necessary foundations for the future sustainable and energy-efficient development of the university have already been laid.
With the publication "Sustainability management and energy efficiency at the University of Kassel - interim balance and forecast", the University of Kassel presents a summary of the technical foundations, the measures introduced and the results of the operational projects to date:
- Sustainability management
- Intracting
- CO2-optimized campus
- Local heating network
- and cooling network
The aim of the interim balance sheet and forecast is to provide an overview of the ongoing projects relating to sustainability and energy efficiency in operations and to evaluate the projects in terms of their savings potential with regard to energy consumption, energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The projects, as different as they are, are particularly effective due to the combination of structural, technical and organizational measures, which are interlinked in each case.
The energy, financial and climate-relevant potential of the measures, based on the data collected to date, has led to the forecast that if the measures are continued continuously until 2030, a considerable savings potential can be achieved in terms of energy consumption (by -33% per year), energy costs (by -34% per year) and CO2 emissions (by -43% per year).
It should be noted that this is an initial (rough) forecast after around three years of the project and is based on a continuation of the previous measures until 2030.
