For the ongoing operation of the university’s research-, teaching- and administrative activities, thousands of electronic devices need to be used on a daily basis, causing very high energy consumption. At the same time, energy costs are increasing due to constantly rising energy prices. Therefore, the goal of Leibniz Universität Hannover (LUH) is both to reduce energy and power consumption and also to set environmentally friendly standards. Accordingly, the Energy Management Department identifies and realises potential energy saving solutions.

By introducing extensive renovation measures, energy optimisation of the existing building substance and improved efficiency of the technical building systems, the university administration is continuously trying to counteract the rising energy costs.
Successes have been achieved in recent years, particularly in the area of heat supply, so that heating energy requirements have been gradually reduced. Compared to 2014, savings of around 16% have already been achieved.
Since 2017, Leibniz Universität Hannover has been using green electricity. In order to further increase renewable power generation on LUH buildings, the planning and construction of photovoltaic systems is already underway.
