Energy consumption at the Universitat Jaume I in July and August was the lowest since 2003 despite the growth in the number of buildings on the campus over the last 20 years. In fact, in these two decades, the built surface area has increased by 42%, from 166,000 square metres to 237,000 square metres, but energy demand has fallen.

The key to this historical record lies in the investment effort made by the UJI to improve the energy efficiency of its buildings, including the installation of solar panels on the roofs, and the additional saving measures. "This lower energy consumption, despite the fact that the equipment has multiplied, confirms the progress in environmental sustainability of a university like the UJI, which has even incorporated the fight against climate change in its Statutes as one of its institutional commitments," said Rector Eva Alcón.

The Riu Sec campus had a total consumption of 1,959,160 kWh during July and August, a record even lower than that obtained in the summer of 2020, the year of the pandemic, when on-campus activity was reduced to a minimum. Alcón stressed that "this is excellent news that confirms the importance of having a sustainability and climate change strategy to minimise the campus's carbon footprint".
