Ingenium drew up a future vision for the energy and water facilities for this transformed campus, taking into account the desire for strong sustainability. The following elements were part of the study:

- Energy demand reduction by improving the building envelope;

- Saving energy by working on the ventilation strategy and integrating maximum heat recovery where permitted and possible;

- Energy reduction through evaluation of control strategies of the technical facilities;

- Maximum integration of local renewable electric energy;

- Strategy for incremental conversion to 100% fossil-free heating and sustainable cooling, with a focus on operational reliability;

- Water facilities for all planned buildings;

- Steam grid strategy;

- Strategy for expanding the internal medium-voltage grid (emergency and normal) for the new buildings and for integrating electric charging infrastructure and renewable energy (large-scale PV and large-scale heat pumps);

- Evaluation of responding to the energy market by applying electrical flexibility options on campus.

‍

These analyses were done technically, energetically, spatially (where to plan new infrastructure or pipeline or cable routes, necessary space, etc.), financially (investment, energy and operating costs, payback effects, etc.) and for the impact on the EPC-NR energy label.

The result is a concrete subproject overview and investment plan that UZA can work with to realize the expansion and energy transition of the campus.
