The implementation of these measures is based on the voluntary participation of each individual. In addition to the additional savings opportunities, the campaign offers information, advice and support for all university members on the topic.
The campaign is designed to help you save electricity and heating energy. We have a lot of information for this, but we also want to be approachable for you. We are interested in your tips and ideas for saving energy in the office, seminar room, laboratory and workshop. We are also happy to receive information about defective electrical or heating systems.

The following energy use behaviors are at the heart of the campaign:
All students and employees can make a valuable contribution through their own behavior. Every kilowatt hour saved counts.
Light off
- Switch off the light when you leave the room.
- Switching off the light when you leave the room can save up to 4% energy.
Switch off devices
- Switch off devices when you no longer need them.
- Switching off devices such as computers, monitors, printers and scanners can save up to 14% energy.
Turn the heating off or down
- If possible, the radiators should not exceed 20 degrees. This corresponds to level 3 on the thermostat.
- There should be no furniture in front of the radiators.
- Turning the heating down by 1°C saves 6% of the heating energy.
Shock ventilation instead of tilt ventilation
- Air the room 3 to 4 times a day for 3 - 5 minutes during the winter months.
- Switch off the heating during ventilation.
- Shock ventilation instead of tilt ventilation saves up to 7% energy.
Stairs instead of elevator
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator, it saves electricity and keeps you fit.
