The use of electrical energy and district heating should be reduced by the following measures:

Pump replacement
Old devices are replaced by new energy-efficient pumps.

Well water cooling
By reconstruction and optimization, the free cooling utilization can be improved by means of well water.

Waste heat utilization
The waste heat of 8 projectors in the exhibition area Deep Space 8K and server room, should be used for space heating.

Conversion of interior LED lighting
Replacement of all fluorescent tubes still in use with energy-saving LED lighting.

Shading foyer
The large south-west-facing glass façade is to be equipped with shading to save cooling energy.
