Tips for conserving energy
Every member of TU Dresden can play their part to ensure that we consume less energy. There are many ways to conserve energy at work and contribute to protecting the environment. When you purchase equipment, for example, you should consider the energy consumption and the longest possible service life of the item alongside price and performance. Switching PCs to energy-saving mode and turning them off when they are not in use helps to save energy, as does reducing the room temperature (1 degree less translates to approximately 6 percent less energy consumption).
