The extraordinary measures to contain energy costs that the Universitat Jaume I has been applying since the start of the academic year have resulted in significant economic savings and a reduction in electricity and gas consumption on campus.

Thus, the Vice-Rector's Offiice for Infrastructures and Sustainability has reported that, thanks to the efforts of the university community, the savings in the energy bill for the months of October and November have exceeded 330,000 euros. This saving is the result of a 15% reduction in electricity consumption, with 381,284 kWh of savings compared to the same period in 2021, and 74.5% in gas consumption, with 65,311 m³ less demand than in 2021.

The measures applied by the University are, on the one hand, the limitation of temperatures in accordance with the application of Royal Decree Law 14/2022, and on the other hand, other extraordinary measures such as turning off the air conditioning installations in departmental buildings, the Rectorate, the Sports Building and Central Services; switching off the air conditioning installations, but maintaining ventilation for air renewal, in classrooms, cafeterias, teaching laboratories, study rooms and library and also in those spaces where windows cannot be opened and, lastly, turning on the heating has been delayed as much as possible.

In this sense, coinciding with the drop in temperatures in the last week of November, the UJI has already connected the heating with a reduced schedule and will gradually increase the number of daily hours of operation depending on the weather conditions.

It should be remembered that the Universitat Jaume I has been applying an energy efficiency policy on its campus since 2010 with the aim of rationalising consumption in its buildings. In addition, since 2020, it has intensified the plan of actions to improve energy efficiency and savings, especially in the oldest buildings on the campus, as well as the installation of photovoltaic solar parks for self-consumption in order to improve the energy efficiency of the building and reduce consumption from the grid.

These include, for example, measures such as improving the thermal insulation of roofs, the installation of more efficient and centrally controlled air-conditioning machinery - allowing the air-conditioning and lighting systems to be switched on and off centrally - and the replacement of lighting with energy-saving LED technology.

Another priority action has been the installation of solar panels and, in fact, in the last two years the UJI has expanded the network of solar parks on the campus, which has allowed a fivefold increase in the production of photovoltaic solar energy for self-consumption in the buildings.

This increase is part of the institutional strategy that integrates actions to advance campus sustainability and address the climate emergency and which was designed collaboratively through the Working Group for Sustainability and against Climate Change under the direction of the then Vice-Rector's Office for Campus and Healthy Life.
