Växjö University, which is a young university, have chosen to compete
with one of their office buildings, called K. The property company
Videum, have had an energy saving project concentrating on optimizing
heating, cooling and ventilation for all of the universities
facilities. The University facility manager Mrs. Christel Olsson
thought that Energy Trophy was the next step for them to take in
becoming even more energy efficient. Further Mrs. Olsson says "The
challenge is to get every individual to be aware that every little
thing they do matters". |

| The competition is managed like an ordinary project with a main project
group and smaller expert groups for ex information, computers,
lightning etc. The main purpose is to examine the possibilities for
energy savings in the expert groups and continuously inform the
employees about viable measures and there potentials. |

| The information
is shown on a screen in the main entrance. Further information as
statistics and real savings are also shown on the screen. They
regularly post electrical newsletters with competition related
information. The employees can give suggestions to the project in a box
by the entrance and by e-mail. So far they have reduced the operational
time for and the number of lights in public areas. In rooms that demand
reservation they change the time for ventilation according to the
reservation list. The time for energy saving mode in printers and
copying machines have been reduced to a minimum. |
