For this second program line, we optimize energy consumption in existing buildings, as well as infrastructure and equipment.
Activities
The following Buildings are optimized last March and April (date: April 19):
| 200 | Ready |

| 122-001N | Ready |
| 122-004 | Ready |
| 122-006 | Ready |
| 122-005 | Ready |
| 111-017 | Ready |
| 122-026 | No action required |
| 122-040 | Ready |
| 122-045 | Ready |

Would you like to hear more about people’s first experiences in this regard? We would hereby like to share our experiences with you:
- Return control of extract air volumes in offices and laboratories
- An open fume cupboard not only consumes energy unnecessarily and without people noticing. Additionally, open fume cupboards are less safe than closed ones
- Closing your fume hood leads to a reduction in the consumption of energy equal to 24 powered on fluorescent lamps! Close the windows of the fume cupboards if you are not using them!
- We look for the most optimal, economical settings for buildings and equipment. For example, we learned that we should start up at no later than 5:00 AM rather than 6:00 AM to prevent people from feeling cold when they enter the buildings. It is therefore a matter of finding the ideal settings through trial and error.
- Clock programmes have been adjusted and, where possible, set to be as economical as possible
- Employees have been made aware of the importance of turning off the lights when leaving a room. Everyone is learning something new!
- Employees are reminded not to leave unnecessary coolers and condensers running in laboratories and pilot plants at the end of a shift
- It is a good idea for you and your employees to take stock of the equipment that can be switched off at the end of the day
- Each building requires a tailor-made approach, so we cannot offer some generic conclusion to you
The following maxim applies very well: ‘Behave at your work as you would behave at home’. Nobody has noticed or been bothered by changes and tests. We would like to thank everyone for their cooperation!
Any more ideas, suggestions?
