Energy and campus

Improving energy efficiency The mission of UNamur's SIGeC revolves around several energy-related areas of activity:the sound management of energy consumptionthe construction, renovation and maintenance of buildings Energy and water consumption awareness campaign 2022-2023 To raise awareness throughout the Community as winter approaches, UNamur is launching an internal campaign starting December 1, 2022. Together, let's reduce our impact. Read more Energy consumption A practice of reporting on energy consumption has been in place at UNamur for a long time. Technical Services carry out electricity, gas and fuel oil consumption metering by building.Over the years, several initiatives have been taken to reduce energy consumption through more rational use, of which the following are a few examples. ELECTRICITYManagement system:Appearance of centralized technical management to remotely control the start-up and shut-down of technical installationsImplementation of variable speed drives to run electric motors at variable speedsPractice of energy load shedding by controlling quarter-hourly peaks to avoid power consumption peaksScaling by a power generator to avoid power consumption peaks.hour peaks in order to avoid power consumption peaksShielding by a generatorConcentration of outdoor activities carried out on WE at UNamur within the same building as far as possibleRealization of an energy cadastre carried out with the former GDDSupply:Collaboration with UCL to obtain an attractive energy supply cost from ENECO, where the energy produced is entirely from renewable sourcesInstallation of photovoltaic panels on the roofs of the Domaine d'Haugimont buildingsUniversity annual expenditure of 20.000€ in green certificatesAppliances:Exclusive choice of class A appliances, sharing of photocopiers and printers by several departmentsReplacement of infrared remote controls by mains-powered wall controls thanks to the CaNDLE 2015 project which has had the effect, in particular, of avoiding high consumption of electric batteriesLighting:Replacement of neon and incandescent spotlights with less energy-intensive lightingPlacement of light regulators close to windows depending on brightnessInstallation of absence detectors at the rectorate,LED lighting at the Hôtel OrbanMonitoring of consumption : reading by equipment using 140 metersHEATINGBoilers: gas condensing, cogeneration installationInsulation: progressive replacement of single glazing with double glazingVentilation: use of variable speed drives, modulation of airflows according to air quality, installation of energy recovery on rejected airRegulation: heating switched on and off according to room occupancy as indicated in the room reservation systemLower set temperatures and time slots on heating. Building construction, renovation and maintenance When working on projects, Technical Services ensures that opportunities to apply sustainable development to building construction and maintenance are seized: Designing a building in line with SD at the time of construction by advocating optimal use of modular spacesproperly insulating the walls of relatively traditional buildingsHowever, Technical Services believes that it remains vital to act on consumer behavior through campaigns to raise awareness of everyday gestures that save energy. Aiming for carbon neutrality UNamur wanted to equip itself with the elements that would enable it to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, as imposed by the European Climate Law. One of the elements targeted is none other than the most complete possible analysis of its greenhouse gas emissions generated across the entire campus by means of a Bilan Carbone (decision of the Board of Directors on January 22, 2021).The purpose of this study is to carry out the Bilan Carbone of the entire activity of the University of Namur according to scope 1, 2 and 3 of the Bilan Carbone method. It has been prepared for the period from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. The organizational scope was established according to the consolidation methodology based on operational control. The inventory includes:Direct emissions sources arising from the University of Namur's activities and related to fixed and mobile equipment, i.e. emissions due to combustion and fugitive emissions.Indirect emissions sources due to imported energy, i.e. emissions due to the consumption of electricity purchased by the company.Sources of indirect emissions due to the transport of people, i.e. emissions due to commuting and business travel.Sources of indirect emissions due to products purchased and used, i.e. attributable emissionsOnce completed, the Bilan Carbone then enables an action plan to be defined. Workshops are currently being organized within the university community to establish these actions in the light of the study results that have been presented. These will be followed by specific working groups established according to the major themes identified.
