Energy optimization shows positive results
When energy consumption was at its peak in 2014, AAU used approx. 62 million kWh electricity and heat.
The energy saving effort is based on three pillars:
- Energy renovation and efficiency improvement of buildings and facilities
- Phasing out of energy-efficient buildings in favor of more efficient ones
- Area efficiency
Before the Covid years 2020-21 and the energy crisis in 2022, the average consumption in 2017-19 was 48.1 million kWh (starting point for the Danish Energy Saving Circular).
In 2022, consumption had fallen to approx. 38.4 million kWh, while the number of users has remained fairly constant since 2014.
It should be noted that the temperature was lowered to 19 °C in public buildings in October 2022. In 2023, an even lower consumption is expected.
Even with the normalization of energy consumption, it is considered realistic to reach the goal of 10% savings by 2030.
