Which centralised measures has RUB already implemented?

The facility management measures that have already been implemented or initiated include:

reduction of flow temperatures in heating circuits
conversion to self-regulating valves in all public areas
raising the room temperatures in air-conditioning systems
raising the flow temperature in the cooling circuit
setting the running times – for example of ventilation systems, lighting – solely to office hours
reduction of corridor lighting
switching off outdoor lighting that is not necessary
optimisation of system operation
reduction of hot water tapping points

What are the technical savings potentials at RUB?

The most important factor is heating: the primary way to save energy is to lower the room temperature.

“The rule of thumb is: even one degree less results in a 6 per cent saving,” explains Dr. Robert Grosche, Head of Building and Facilities Management at RUB. “This means: if we lower the room temperature from 21 to 19 degrees, we would already save 12 per cent. We can achieve another 8 per cent through a large number of small-scale measures and through centralised measures.”

What can each and every one of us do? RUB members are currently being advised about these and other savings potentials. Learn more > energie.rub.de
