Energy Saving Competition

Between 14 and 29 March 2016, an Energy Saving Competition was held in the Bruges campus.

In this competition, organised by the Green Team, the residences competed to decrease their electricity and gas usage as much as possible. The residence with the strongest decrease compared to their own earlier usage (measured during a reference period) would win the Energy Saving Trophy.

The Oliebaan Residence managed to cut their electricity usage by 33%, which was the highest score for electricity. Meanwhile, the Oude Zak Residence won the heating part: they saved 27% of their heating usage during this period.

Because Oude Zak also had a very strong reduction of electricity, they are the overall winner.

 

On behalf of the Green Team, Ceciel NIEUWENHOUT handed them the Energy Saving Trophy: a nice plant to decorate the residence.
