Energy Consumption in October 2022
Our Energy Monitor gives you an overview of our current energy consumption patterns in comparison to 2021 and 2019*.
Electricity
Based on data representing more than 97% of the university’s total consumption, Freie Universität was able to reduce its electricity consumption by 6.7% compared with October of the previous year. This represents a turnaround in terms of our previous levels of consumption, which had risen by around 6% from January to September 2022.
More specific details can be found below. At the same time, it is clear that we have yet to hit our 10% target when it comes to reducing our electricity consumption. However, this is understandable, as many of the measures resulting from our on-site energy checks have not yet been implemented or will only first be implemented in November or December.

Heat Consumption
In terms of heat consumption, recorded data exist for approximately 90% of the heating consumed at Freie Universität during October 2022. Making adjustments for weather conditions, these data represent a 20% reduction in energy consumption levels for heating compared with October of the previous year. However, this considerable reduction must be seen in the context of the unusually mild weather we had this year. We expect that the data recorded for November will provide more reliable information about heat consumption patterns at Freie Universität.

*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.
