Technische Universit\u00e4t Braunschweig is taking an extended winter break. From Friday, 23\u00a0December\u00a02022, up to and including Sunday, 8\u00a0January\u00a02023, all facilities and institutes will be closed. During this period, the telephone exchange and the post office will also be unstaffed. This time, the winter break for employees and facilities has been aligned with the students\u2019 winter holidays to help save more energy<\/a> by closing for a longer period.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Digital media remain accessible<\/strong><\/p>\n

The University Library<\/a> will also be closed during this period. However, digital media<\/a> will continue to be accessible without restrictions.<\/p>\n

Extended winter break reduces energy consumption<\/strong><\/p>\n

To reduce our overall energy consumption, we are lowering the energy consumption of our 180\u00a0buildings during the winter break. Nevertheless, we also rely on your help. The buildings are only heated to a limited extent during the period mentioned. Against the background of the energy crisis, energy consumption can be reduced and energy costs lowered this way. In addition, we are making an extra contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The extension of the period during which the facilities are closed to a total of 17\u00a0days contributes to achieving TU\u00a0Braunschweig\u2019s energy savings target of 20\u00a0per cent.<\/p>\n

Things you should do before the winter break<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to achieve the savings target, especially in terms of electricity consumption, it is vital that all members of TU\u00a0Braunschweig work together.<\/p>\n

Please support the central savings by actively participating. You can make a decisive contribution by taking the following measures:<\/p>\n
