Information about energy saving measures at LMU
4 Oct 2022
In response to the current geopolitical situation, the Bavarian government has drawn up a set of energy-saving measures that will also be implemented at LMU. The measures will also affect lecture theaters and library facilities.
Electricity
- When leaving a room, switch off lights, PCs, non-necessary devices, etc.
- Not all computers are booted up, when the libraries are opened in the morning. If necessary, please switch them on and off yourself.
The energy concept also provides:
- Devising decentralized electricity-saving concepts in scientific institutes
- Raising room temperature specifications in cooled rooms, such as laboratories
- Not cooling offices, classrooms, and lecture halls (justified exceptions allowed in special cases)
- Ban on mobile air conditioning units and heating devices (justified exceptions allowed in special cases)
- Increasing temperature in server rooms
- Relaxing the parameters for air-conditioned spaces (humidity/temperature) – e.g. rooms where animals are kept, laboratories
Heating
Reducing room temperature:
- Lowering temperature to 19°C in offices, laboratories, and lecture halls and classrooms in accordance with the German Federal Government Ordinance on Securing Energy Supply through Rapid Impact Measures
- Ceasing or reducing the heating of common areas
- Extending night and weekend usage reduction hours:
Lecture halls, classrooms, and libraries: 8:00 p.m. – 8:00 a.m.
Electricity and heating
- Reducing operating times of laboratory and WC ventilation
