Sustainability management in the company

The integrated sustainability ma­nagement bundles the university's sustainability activities and initiates important structural developments and changes in university operations. It also initiates and supports the development and implementation of improvement measures for university sustainability.

Project duration: 2016 - 2023

Intracting to save energy costs

­­A key component of operational sustainability management is the Intracting project: targeted measures to reduce electricity consumption and electricity costs generate savings that flow directly into the financing of new energy­efficiency measures and lead to a payback of costs in the long term.

Project duration: 2017 - 2023

Optimize building envelopes

The aim of the project is to record and evaluate the energy performance of the buildings by creating an energy register that presents energy efficiency measures­and potential savings. Subproject 1 "Energy potential analysis": Technical and structural conditions are checked and systematically recorded. Subproject 2 "Analysis and improvement of metering­ and measuring equipment": Intelligent metering­ and measuring equipment­will be set up.

Project duration: 2017 - 2023

PV on the university roofs

A cooperation project with the cdw Foundation enables the university to increase the proportion of renewable energy sources used to supply its properties with energy. The university invests the savings in electricity costs in further sustainability projects.

Project duration: 2018 - 2028

Development of a local heating concept

Exemplary for Germany, the local heating system of the campus will be revised and made sustainable. An optimized local heating network is to be created, which will enable the use of CHP heat and electricity and the feed-in of renewable energies.

Project duration: 2020 - 2023

Refrigeration network - An innovative concept

The project will examine whether it is economically viable and technically feasible to achieve a cooling network for laboratories, ITS and teaching buildings by generating parts of the required cooling capacity from waste heat, free cooling and renewable energy sources instead of electricity.

Project duration: 2020 - 2023
