The shortage of natural gas and electricity presents RWTH and all of us with major challenges. We want and need to save energy! For the environment, for society, for all of us.

Each and every one of us can contribute to this: the usage behavior of nearly 10,000 employees and 50,000 students makes a decisive contribution to the energy consumption of the University.

We've got to Save Energy!
 

By implementing the energy-saving hints and tips, all University members can help reduce energy consumption - both that of RWTH and in their private households.

Do you have further ideas and suggestions on how our energy consumption can be reduced? Do you have any specific ideas for offices, laboratories, workshops and halls?

Feel free to share them informally with us by e-mail.

Saving energy at RWTH has never been easy, because we only rent our buildings and the energy supply has to cover many special cases from research activities. Now energy saving is in focus and we can immediately look together for the small and bigger ways in which we can avoid waste. At the same time, we will be focusing fully on excellent teaching and research, as our graduates and new solutions remain the most important contributions of RWTH to solve upcoming challenges!

The current crisis clearly shows our dependence on raw materials and the immediate need for changes in our actions. Even small changes in our routines can make a big difference! For example, modified ventilation behavior in winter can save up to 25 percent of heating energy. Join us - for a livable and sustainable tomorrow!

Supply security, economic efficiency and environmental compatibility are the three societal energy goals that often conflict with each other. Saving energy, however, strengthens all three goals at the same time. And it does so extremely effectively. Even with very little or even no restrictions on comfort, we can make a very valuable contribution to the energy crisis by consuming energy more consciously.

For all of us? That's right, because wherever we save energy, we reduce demand - then prices fall, which benefits us all. So turn down the heat and turn off the lights, at home and at work. For all of us!

The current energy situation is a major problem for all of us, which we can only solve together if we want to get through the winter without closing RWTH. We must become aware of the urgency of this matter. By proper ventilation and heating, we can significantly reduce energy consumption. Together, we can overcome this crisis as well! Let's do our best to save energy, because together we have the biggest impact.
