Save energy
DTU has a high energy consumption and a social responsibility for finding energy savings. Some of DTU’s energy consumption is conditioned by good habits.
One of the keys to sustainable energy consumption at DTU is our habits. By being aware of how we act when we move around in laboratories, coffee rooms etc., we can all help to reduce energy consumption. And thus save energy to the benefit of both energy costs and society.
Experience from both the Danish Energy Agency and a pilot project at Lyngby Campus show that we can reduce electricity consumption by approx. 10% just by introducing good energy habits in everyday life.
On this page, you will find inspiration on how you and your colleagues can contribute to DTU's energy reducing efforts.
We can all do it
Get inspiration on how to easily start changing energy habits in the office, in the laboratory, and elsewhere at DTU.
By using the checklists for the various rooms, you can help yourself and your colleagues become more aware of what you can do in your everyday lives:
- Checklist for offices, kitchens, and meeting rooms
- Checklist for laboratories and workshops
- Checklist for freezer, climate control, and server rooms
- Checklist for night rounds
You can order stickers if you have instruments, machines or similar, where there is doubt whether they can be switched off:
You can also print posters to hang up in the rooms you use to focus on good energy habits every day:
- Poster for offices
- Poster for kitchens
- Poster for laboratories and workshops
- Poster for meeting rooms
- Info screen: Office
- Info screen: Kitchen
- Info screen: Laboratories and workshops
- Info screen: Meetings
Last but not least you can monitor the energy comsumption of your devices:
