The installation of 46 solar panels - about 10 kWp, which is 25% of the annual energy requirements - is the final stage to significantly reduce the CO2 footprint of E.D.&A.. This was also one of the recommendations from the eco-efficiency scan that was recently executed.
The highest insulation values have been taken into account during the construction and renovation of our three buildings. Replacing light switches with sensors also results in an optimal utilisation of energy.
Monitoring the energy consumption of E.D.&A. (by our own developed data log system) has given us much insight. In this way we became aware that it was useful for example to purchase a new energy-efficient server.
The eco-scan also examined our waste policy . It showed that it was appropriate to separate more waste than we did before. Since last year plastic foil has been collected separately.
By placing a separate bicycle shelter, we hope that many employees will more often use a bicycle instead of their car.
