Strategic Solutions & Energy Independence

Based on the high costs seen in ITB's invoices and the annual grid dependency of ~142,230 kWh, here is the roadmap to reduce consumption and mitigate 2026 inflation.

🎯 Concrete Actions & Energy

☀️

Solar Panels Expansion

Currently consuming ~142k kWh/year. Increasing solar capacity by 20% will drastically reduce grid reliance.

High Financial Impact
☁️

Paperless Migration

Total digitalization of exams via Moodle/Drive and switch to refillable whiteboard markers to combat IPC inflation.

Medium Eco Impact
💧

Water Optimization

Sensors show morning peaks of up to 500L/hr. Install timed push-buttons and leak-detection sensors.

High Eco Impact

♻️ Circular Economy Applied

🔧

IT Hardware Repair

Invoices show >3,000€ spent on replacing obsolete circuits. Train IT students to repair and maintain older hardware (Repair principle).

Sustainable Cleaning

Switch to high-efficiency hand dryers to eliminate paper waste. Negotiate a deposit-return system for 5L soap jugs.

📅 3-Year Implementation Roadmap

Year 1 (Foundation)

Digitalization of 50% of administrative paper. Installation of water timed buttons in main bathrooms.

Year 2 (Expansion)

IT students start repairing obsolete circuits as part of curriculum. 100% LED lighting migration.

Year 3 (Consolidation)

Full circular economy with cleaning suppliers. +20% Solar panels installed. Reach the 30% reduction goal.
