Publication on "Sustainability Management and Energy Efficiency in Operations 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. As a result, it has been possible to fund several operational projects 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), necessary foundations for a future sustainable and energy-efficient development of the university have already been created.
With the publication "Sustainability Management and Energy Efficiency in the University of Kassel - Interim Balance Sheet and Forecast", the University of Kassel presents a synopsis, the technical foundations, the measures initiated 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 assessment and forecast is to provide an overview of the ongoing projects on sustainability and energy efficiency in operations and to evaluate the projects in terms of their savings potential in terms of energy consumption, energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The projects, as varied as they are, have an effect in particular through the combination of structural, technical and organizational measures, each of which is interlinked.
Due to the energetic, financial and climate-relevant potential of the measures, the prognosis was made on the basis of the data collected so far, that with a continuous continuation of the measures until the year 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 a first (rough) forecast after about three years of project duration and is based on a continuation of the previous measures until 2030.
