Heating requirements at the University of Liège (all sites combined) have fallen in recent years (-24%), thanks in particular to a major renovation program and better management of production facilities.
Electricity requirements are also down (-10%):
Although the University of Liège has invested in improving its lighting, it is worth noting that electrical consumption is also linked to research activities, which can vary from one year to the next.
In order to achieve the objectives discussed above, the University of Liège is currently completing the EEEF program (insulation, ventilation and relamping of a series of buildings) and is carrying out an AAPE plan (action to improve the energy performance) of its HVAC installations. The AAPE plan will run from 2019 to 2028, and will involve renovating certain building boiler rooms, replacing outdated equipment and recovering energy from extracted air.
The following table summarizes the key figures for this investment program:
| Annual electricity savings (MWh) | 822 |
| Annual heating savings (MWh PCI) | 9450 |
| AnnualCO2 savings (tonnes) | 1837 |
| Investment (Euros) | 3 Mi€ |
In October 2022, the University of Liège launched the #SaveEnergy campaign, to raise awareness among its community of a few simple but essential gestures to reduce our energy consumption.
The energy crisis concerns us all. It also impacts ULiège, which is launching the #SaveEnergy campaign to raise awareness among its community about a few simple but essential actions to reduce our energy consumption.
Un marché d'achat-vente d’électricité vient d'être attribué par le CA de l’ULiège pour 2024-2027. L’Institution modifie ainsi sa stratégie relative aux énergies renouvelables pour favoriser le développement de ses propres capacités de production.
Les usages numériques font partie intégrante de notre quotidien. Leurs impacts environnementaux restent pourtant souvent méconnus et sous-estimés. Quelques gestes simples permettent de limiter ces impacts.
Ce 14 décembre 2022, le Conseil d’administration a approuvé la deuxième phase des investissements « quick wins » dont l’objectif est de réduire à court terme les consommations énergétiques de l’ULiège.
A team of jobbers from Green Office has been formed to relay the #SaveEnergy campaign in the field: they will tour the buildings to talk to the university community and raise awareness of good practices.
