The Universitat Jaume I has saved 70,000 euros in energy consumption by closing the campus during the month of August. Most of this corresponds to the electricity bill (60,000 euros) and water bill (1,800 euros). In addition, 156 tonnes of CO₂ have been avoided in the atmosphere.

The average electricity consumption of the university is 40,000-45,000 kW-h/day and its minimum daily energy consumption is 19,000-20,000 kW-h due to the cost of equipping the laboratories and technical rooms 24 hours a day. During the 21 days in which the UJI has been closed, 400,000 kW-h have been saved, which means more than 60,000 euros in the electricity bill.

A daily saving of more than 75 m3 of water per day has also been generated, which is equivalent to around 1,800 euros in the monthly bill. As far as gas is concerned, the savings generated are minimal as the facilities that mainly use it (laboratories and the Animal Experimentation Service) need to maintain strict temperature and humidity conditions during the month of August in order to meet the environmental conditions required by the animals, to avoid equipment breakdowns and overheating of the stored material.

As well as saving energy, the Universitat Jaume I has avoided the emission of 156 tonnes of CO₂ into the atmosphere. To get an idea, the consumption of 4 or 5 desktop computers, switched on 5 days a week for 9 hours a day, is equivalent to about 1 tonne of CO₂ per year. These 156 tons are equivalent to the CO₂ absorbed by 312 medium-sized trees during 50 years of life.
