Heat Consumption
In terms of heating, consumption at Freie Universität rose by 1% in 2022 in comparison with December 2019, meaning that there was little difference in the amount of heat consumed in 2019 (i.e., before the Covid-19 restrictions to researching and teaching in person came into effect) and that consumed in the same month in 2022. Compared with December 2021, heat consumption was reduced considerably – by approximately 15.7% in total.
The data collected represent approximately 90% of the heat consumed in the various buildings and institutions at Freie Universität Berlin during the time periods specified.

*The year 2020 has been excluded from our comparisons as, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, university buildings were not able to be used to the same extent as would normally be the case. For this reason, 2019 has been used for comparison instead.
