Yes, the university introduced a comprehensive energy monitoring scheme in 2001. This means that we have access to two decades’ worth of data on the electricity and heating consumed in individual buildings.

In 2017, Freie Universität began monitoring its energy consumption online, collecting data from almost all buildings on campus. As such, any deviations or abnormalities in energy consumption can be recognized very quickly, and counter-measures introduced.

The most important figures regarding our energy consumption can be found in our sustainability reports, which are published every two years, and our environmental declarations (Umwelterklärungen, currently only available in German), which are published annually.
