Energy and buildings
The University of Liège is committed to a strong energy transition in order to reduce its ecological footprint. Heating, electricity and building insulation are some of the projects undertaken in recent years.
B
y 2030, Europe has set targets for states regarding energy transition by establishing a legal framework. To meet these obligations, Belgium has drawn up its National Energy and Climate Plan 2021/2030, which aims to :
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 55%.
- Increase the production of renewable energy by 25
- Increase energy efficiency by 12%.
With regard to these recommendations, the University of Liege has set itself the following objectives
- Increase the production of renewable electricity by 26% and the production of renewable heat by 55%;
- Reduce final energy consumption by 22.7%;
- Reduce energy consumption in buildings by 32% compared to 2020;
- Renovate 3% of its building stock each year (~ 17,000 m²) in line with all other public institutions.
