SMART ENERGY

CERN is committed to limiting its increase in electricity consumption to 5% up to the end of Run 3 (baseline year: 2018*). To do so, CERN takes a comprehensive approach, carefully considering and evaluating every possible energy-saving activity to ensure complementary and maximum impact.

 

Examples of our challenges in Smart Energy

  • Building thermal insulation and air thickness
  • Standardization of efficient technical systems
  • District heating renovation and improvement
  • Centralized chilled water systems
  • Gas consumption optimization
  • Efficiency of heating networks
  • Reduction of network losses
  • Lighting time control
  • Lighting level control
  • Limitation of the power in renovation
